@kongzilla Probably the Germans would adopt the StG 45, followed by an H&K G3-esque assault rifle. It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the Germans were looking for a 6.5 or 6.8mm round, but I'fe been unable to find any info on such plans or ammunition.

@ Kongzilla I agree, the EF-132 was a sound design for a bomber.

How about the MG 42? Would th Germans try to replace it, or atleast tinker with the design?

I understand that this has probably been done before, but given my intense interest in the Second World War, I would just like to get some feedback: If the Germans had won world war 2, let's say around 1943-44, by the early 1950's, how much would the weapons and equipment of the German Landser...

@ wiking This HyperWar series might help: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-EF-Defeat/USA-EF-Defeat-7.html The Germans had three operational plans: Zitadelle (which they went with), Habicht and Panther, both of which they did not. IMO, the Germans should've continued their...

@ Simon Oliver Lockwood IMO, given the very Multi-National appearance of the Waffen SS by about 43-44, and into 45, I could see the SS becoming a rapid response force, similar to the EU BattleGroups of today. European Nations that were part of a 'European Confederacy' (a pet project of...

@kongzilla I could see the Germans using the ju 252 in that kind of role. After all, in Vietnam the Americans had the ac-47 and apparently the south Africans gave a Dakota a 20mm cannon and called it the dragon dak. I could see a ju 252 armed with 20mm cannons, and perhaps even some recoilless...

If you ask me, I could see the problem as being this: So, the Soviets start diverting resources to support the Partisans against the EG. If the Germans start seeing a sudden influx of support for the partisan cells, they could begin to focus more resources on crushing the partisans...

In terms of COIN aircraft, I figure the Germans would take an approach very similar to that of the French in Indochina, and use primarily prop driven ww2 aircraft. For recon they'd likely use the Fiesler Fi 156 Storch (which the French used in Indochina as the Morane-Saulnier MS 500 Criquet) and...

I agree, but the allies are going to be putting out much heavier armour soon, and, I mean, who WOULDN'T want 4 45mm cannons! That and it can carry more of those nasty PTAB bombs than the shturmovik AND it's long range flying over long distances can translate it to great loitering time over short...

Bumpity Bump!

Luftwaffe chooses to procure Focke-Wulf Fw 187 instead of Messerschmitt Bf 110. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fw_187 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_110

The Soviets' air support assets are formidable, but with the amount of distance their armies will be covering, the pace at which NATO forces will be retreating, as well as the inevitable appearance of very heavily armoured western tanks, might the Soviets consider giving the Sukhoi Su-8 another...

Bumpity bump!

Germany was very disunited in 1918; her war efort was collapsing under the pressure of blockade, her navy had mutinied, there was open revolution in the streets, and the Entente Powers were closing in from belgium and france, northern Italy and the Balkans. The only way I can see Germany...

@Dable Dable, you mentioned Germany investing in a 4x4 3 ton truck AND a 6x6 10 ton truck; perhaps the mercedes-benz LG 312 for the 3 ton and the tatra 111 for the 10 ton?
