Assuming I'm Hitler, I'd order all of the Nazi High Command shot, renege on all anti-Semitic laws, pull out of all occupied countries, and then shoot myself. Seems like it'd be the best thing for Germany.

... What. I don't think you know what the Nazi's version of socialism entails, considering their definition of workers rights was, for lack of a better term, nonexistent.

That, and less positions for the U.S to place nukes aimed at the Soviets. In such a scenario I can see Turkey falling to communism quickly, ala For All Time (Second time I mentioned that TL today...). Though that just might necessitate for long-range rocket research for the U.S. I wonder if Von...

Yeah, and even with all the horrible things the Soviets have done, they're still nowhere near Orwell's ultimate vision. Besides, in the scenario we're describing, with the Soviets trampling through Germany and all of Europe, they might arguably turn out better without all the horrors Germany...

I think the question would be phrased better as 'What if Italy went Communist and joined the Soviet Bloc?' Either way, it would be in the interests of the commies to get rid of the Pope's anti-communist rhetoric. The Pope likely relocates to Madrid as in For All Time, or maybe France.

An interesting idea. The problem is though, that even if say the Brits defeat the Americans at Saratoga, France and the other Europeans powers will be very keen on kicking British arse. I'm of the opinion conflict between France and Britain was inevitable at this point, no matter how the...

Yeah. Other options exist though, like keeping his first wife alive, or switching his first wife with someone less inclined to, well, die. That did a huge hit on his SAN Meter.

Very nice so far. Richtofen and Paul don't get enough love, so this is great to see.

No kidding, and in Imperial Russia at that, if it's at that time. And it'll have to be during the Tsarist regime, as I doubt he'll be willing to go to a shrink during the Civil War or his stay in power. Did Imperial Russia even have psychologists, let alone good ones?

Yeah, so the obvious way to butterfly away his mental issues is making him have a good family life, which as said, detracts from the whole 'Become Dictator' thing. I don't know enough about Stalin's early years to say how you could do this though.

Well that changes a lot of who Stalin is as a person, so the butterflies would be big. Stalin's paranoia was directly linked to his megalomania and numerous other personality defects, so I doubt he would even become Secretary as in OTL. He might just go become a singer or church boy.

Well, unless the Allies can repay the U.S, which isn't likely regardless of the terms imposed, the Great Depression is still likely. Though just minimizing the chances of the Nazis in other areas can prevent as huge a rise in popularity for them, enough that Hitler might not be able to seize...

I tried my admittedly limited best. :o Yes, because honestly, they probably wouldn't be able to pay off those debts. Only Germany could feasibly pay off any damages as far as I know. The point is to not piss the Hungarians off and make them as pissed as Trianon did in OTL. Giving them at least...

That's the obvious problem with designing any peace treaty. I'm working under the assumption that a less severe peace treaty in some aspects would both lighten Germany's grudge, and get France and Britain more interested in preserving peace at the barrel of a gun if necessary. It's why I've...

As much as the Mirror Mirror one sounds cool, I feel a need to read "Through the Tear in Time! Russian Special Forces Against Hitllerites." so much more. I can't resist a title like that.

I'm just gonna say there's no 'right' way to handle Versailles, but I'll try my best. 1) The former Austrian Empire and its leaders are to be assigned war guilt. None of the constituent states of the Empire that broke off are going to be forced to pay reparations, but Austria and Hungary will...

At least Tunisia, Malta, and some Egyptian/Sudanese land. Possibly Djibouti and British Somalia as well, depending on how desperate the Allies are and/or good the Italian diplomats are.

Okay then, thanks for the reply!

Wow, I just found this TL, and I love it. I'm especially liking the pragmatic Soviet diplomacy in regards to Western Europe and Greece. And yay, surviving Tsardom of Bulgaria! :D I have a question about that though. You said Bulgaria would get to keep some of its occupied territories. Would...

Most excellent. The French have completely outmaneuvered the Brits. Such tactics the Earl suggests though... It looks like the Brits have learned from the American Revolution well. I wonder what the inevitable split-up of the Ottomans will look like. I assume the Austrians will go for at least...
