*Approves!* Now we just need Scania, Halland and Blekinge back where they belong - but that's a topic for a different thread ;)

Denmark-wank? :D

Slesvig-Holsten was part of the Danish kingdom for several hundred years - and Slesvig was ethnically Danish until Prussia instituted a process of germanization after conquering Slesvig-Holsten in 1864. It was a process that only partially succeeded.

I find it hard to see the US and NATO NOT becoming involved in a MAJOR Falklands War. Especially if nukes are on the table..

France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, as I mentioned...and sure: Austria too...hey, even Luxembourg and Lichtenstein can have a piece :P

Ideal for me? Carved up between its neighbors, including Denmark. We could keep Slesvig-Holsten AND get maybe Pommerania too :D

I can't see how that could happen. The times were virulently anti-semitic, both in the places that remained in the RC church, and in the places where the Reformation took hold. A likelier candidate is Greek. And for even THAT to happen, you need someone else than Luther to be the catalyst for...

Not disputing your info at all, but having such a philosophy within Hinduism seems self-contradictory, as the tenant of re-incarnation (and thus, SOME form of after-life) is at the core of the religion.

The Saga Begins! Right - here goes. This will be my first TL, so bear with me :) PROLOGUE - The "Incident" Berlin, Germany, December 21st 1983, 05.30. Winter of 1983. East-West tensions are still running high in the cold war, which shows no sign of de-frosting anytime soon. In...

Point taken....I'll take the liberty of assuming the first...and try (NB the "try") to get a prologue up tomorrow :)

The plans to invade, or the plans to use nukes? Because my original idea was to have this happen in the early 80's, and if they kept the "Let's invade Denmark", but did away with the "..and let's glass it too!", that'd be optimal for what I envisioned.

Isn't the tacit prerequisite in the article here, that nukes had already been used elsewhere in the theatre, by NATO? In SUCH an event, it would make sense for the WP to lob a few our way, as a "GTFO!"-statement. But to use them first against DENMARK seems....seems too far-fetched for even the...

Ah yes...Roskilde (major transport hub) and Esbjerg makes sense...Another target I had in mind was the Karup Air Base...

The chemical-weapons-theory sounds a lot more plausible, to me...

See - that's the thing...I don't know exactly yet. A big issue for me is avoiding those darn ASBs whereever I can, which is also why I put this post out here :) It has been said that the WP planned on hitting Denmark with 12 nukes. If this is true, then I cannot avoid that escalation. Then, the...

Independence from The Netherlands could be possible....but I don't see how this independent New Netherlands can avoid being swallowed up by British?

I can't read the link - since I can't read Polish :( Is there an English-language version somewhere? Guess that does change things a bit, though...my plan was to have the NVA do an amphibious invasion from Falster and race towards Copenhagen. With nukes in the game, it's all over....no way is...

I'm thinking of writing a TL about the headline, but I'll be so bold as to first ask if there's any interest in it, before I dedicate lots of time to writing it :)

Oh Lord..have I started a flame war? :confused:

Or....maybe Lincoln didn't really have strong opinions on slavery one way or the other (as per his earlier statement), but sensed an opportunity to use the issue to his advantage? I realize I might be stepping on some toes here. That's not the objective, however.
