I think people liking the thread and its setting should check out this 'documentary': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaWAX8uM5qA It's an American aggressively anti-UN propaganda peace, very pro-Katanga. As a bonus there's footage from contemporary Elizabethville.

So glad to finally see the updated version coming online. 'scribed.

This has some great clusterfuck potential, like anything that happens in SE Asia. If Uncle Ho isn't fully on board with the whole communism thing, and if the Guo Min Dang is willing to help him in his own nationalist endeavors, they could potentially kick the French out, or at least into the...

Jumalauta, I remember feeling a slight tinge when you mentioned the Guards Jaeger Regiment in one of your earlier posts, since it was my National Service unit. Then this bit about Hennala comes out, centring on the military hospital. I was there for a month getting medic training and became...

So, uh, you're saying the Finns could calm down the entire Cold War a bit? No Berlin Airlift? Smaller Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact (I guess it's called something else now)? Truer neutrality for Finland? No or less important Kekkonen? Also, are you planning on making a map of post-War Europe...

He's probably dead, if not by the bombs, then by radiation or subsequent general shittiness.

How close are you going to make Estonia to Finland?

not getting into conflict with Paul Anderson could work

Right in the feels man

Can't think of anything, at least nothing you could do out of a moving vehicle in such a short time Could this lead to less hostile attitudes towards the swastika after the War, at least in Finland? OTL even some of the decorations worn by the President have switched from swastikas to...

No, cos it would imply that he himself is a girly. On a completely unrelated note, what is the Finnish airforce roundel and other insignia ITTL, and will it change over the course of the war? I personally like the swastika, and I love trolling foreigners by showing them pics of our airforce flag.

Finns don't fucking blow kisses today, let alone 70 years ago

I don't want to be a killjoy, but this is the 60s. Red China isn't really into the whole Kung Fu thing at this point. The only place it really stays alive is Hong Kong in film form.

Hmm, the VNQDD in power might mean stronger ties to the GMD on Taiwan. That could have some great butterflies with the modern South China Sea/Spratleys situation in mind. You seem to have made the even the non-Communist very independent-minded, what with forcing the French out more...

Hey man, great TL. I've always had a soft-spot for IOTL-doomed anti-communist Asian countries, and Vietnam is especially interesting since I have family who work there, although I'm not Viet (I'm actually holidaying in Hanoi right now). Sub-goddamn-scribed. Just a few things I have to note...

If the Crash never occurred, one divergence the world of architecture would be greatly affected and the cityscapes of Europe and North America could look very different. In my home town of Helsinki for example, there were quite a few skyscrapers/high-rises planned in the 20s and early 30s, but...

Rock'n'Roll, Vodka and Goodwill Let me start off by by saying that this timeline is seriously the best Finland ATL I have ever read. Us Finns do like our sad songs and depression and this TL most certainly delivers. Now my main point. Are Mato Valtonen and the rest (or most) of the Sleepy...
