I say neither, What they needed was a German Henry Ford. Someone who would bring the benefits of the assembly line and the concentration of one model for each designated role. The Germans had too many designs for each role instead of a dedicated model that could be adapted for the role...

All I keep reading is about how the war would proceed without any concerns of the lack of outside support to the Soviets. The Soviets were very dependent on material supplies to support and free up manpower from the outside. Without this support the war would have been fought very differently...

With England out of the war and no Lend Lease the Soviets are doomed. Forgetting the additional troops and planes for the Axis the loss of Lend Lease would have been disastrous for the Soviets. The amount of food , chemicals for explosives , rails and rolling stock, trucks,high octane aviation...

The Founders despised democracy as it lead to tyranny of the many against the few.They were well educated men who read the works of the Greeks and Romans and saw the danger of democracy as a governing principle. That is why they based our country on a group of free states where no matter how...

Considering that the Founders disliked Democracy as a whole and is why they chose to form a representative republic instead and, that the last true democracy perished with Athens the question is moot.

I like the idea and will watch to see how you develop it .

With the Luftwaffe not destroyed it is very problematic for the USAAF to nuke the Axis into surrender. They would be able to hit one or two cities in France with certainty but, to hit cities in Greater Germany the risk and ability is too high for success. A Cold War would have come about.

In the 20's the Soviets were very concerned that a German- Polish alliance would be formed with the intent to attack them. So with some work I think your idea is solid.

The Germans couldn't utilize the oil fields, even if captured undestroyed. Their main effort should have been to denie them to the Russians through cutting off the Volga river transport and then continuously bombing them.

Correct, Any opposition party will try and hold off a lame duck from placing another Justice on the court. While the President can nominate the Senate doesn't have to confirm. It happens all the time.

It is not just the weight of the vehicle but its materials and size that effect whether you survive a crash. Here is a link to a report that will show that Cafe is a killer. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2010/04/death_by_cafe_standards.html

I remember a study done that for every MPG increase mandated by the CAFE so many people died due the vehicles being made of lighter less durable materials. I'll check up on it but, you can only push engine tech so far before you have to reduce the total weight to get those GPM. So maybe without...

Have Pres. Perot issue a executive order and close down the ATF and give the dept's responsibility to the FBI. In OTL there were on going Congressional hearing to do just that. Some think the Waco raid was a publicity stunt by the ATF to forestall their closing down and get more funding.

This is it hands down.

Here are a few quotes from our Founders on the right to bear arms which we all should consider in this discussion. Alexander Hamilton said, “The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed," adding later, "If the representatives of the people betray...

Napoleanrules., If you've read the papers of the Founders you would know that they considered the rights recognized in the Constitution were not granted by the government but by their Creator. As they stated in the Federalist papers and their own writings it was because of this belief that...

One point I think we are over looking is that the" Bill Of Rights " only listed rights the Founders wanted to be spelled out but did not limit our rights to only those listed. As they stated these rights were inalienable rights, rights endowed by the Creator and as such no matter what a...

The problem is most people don't know the history of the colonies. The militia were a part of British colonies in america from the start. They represented all the males of the colonies and the Founders use of the word militia follows this. If you read the Federalist papers you see they meant...

If Hitler decides to forgo the elimination of the Jews and others until after the war you have a huge resource boost for the war effort. The amount of men,train transport and material wasted on it would be released to more efficient uses for winning the war.

Wasn't the problem with a copy of the T34 by Germany that they couldn't produce the V12 aluminum block engine that gave the T 34 its high speed?
