Hitler builds a tunnel from Slovakia to Moscow. Stalin isn't even mad.

According to this article http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rattachisme During WW2 French officials wanted to annex Wallonia as a compensation for Alsace-Lorraine. Unlikely considering Germany considered annexing large parts of France (French refugees were forbidden to return to the areas bordering...

Depends under what circumstances they join and who are they fighting. After Torch, yes definitely. If the WAllies somehow made peace or were defeated, and French troops where send to the USSR, probably not.

I can't see Vichy joining the Axis if Britain and Germany are still at war. Say a bomb drops on Churchill during the early days of BoB and whoever succeeds him decides that the war has been lost and that accepting status quo is the best course of action. In that case the Free French movement...

The invasion of the soviet union was largely motivated by expansion in the East rather than ideological safety. To avoid war with Stalin you need to change Germany's territorial ambitions. Uniting Germanic peoples (dutch, swedes, danes, norwegians, british, etc.) is the easy one and in direct...

hmm IIRC there were four during the Consulate: the Conseil d'Etat, which would elaborate laws, the Tribunat, which discussed them, the Corps Législatif which voted them, and the Senate which could modify the constitution.

To give a rough idea of my TL so far: God strikes Mussolini late 1939/early 1940, Anschluss already happen and Italy is German-aligned, but neutral. France fell. No invasion of Greece, not too sure about Yugoslavia. The Germans are more successful in Barbarossa and basically Moscow is TTL's...

POD: A random anarchist throws a grenade at Mussolini. Completely disfigured, he dies in horrible pain. Ciano becomes the next Duce and keeps Italy out of the war, though is German friendly (trade, alt-division azul, etc.). The year is 1943. Where would the Western allies open a second...

No. The pro-independence Breton movements were never credible and pretty much died with the Parti National Breton (nazi collaborators). Most "nationalists" movements are actually regionalists, they want federalization (or at least more autonomy) and to protect Breton culture (the language is...

Well guys like Rohm, Goebbels, etc. are still going to be there. The far right is going to be pretty chaotic with the conservative nationalists and the volkisch revolutionary crackpots pretty unlikely to form an alliance.

Cold war doesn't get as intense, a Gorby starts reforming SU earlier. By the 90's or 2000's SU is pretty much a social democracy which opposes the liberal European Union. Some countries which are opposed to EU's policies gradually shift towards the soviet bloc (thinking of Norway, though they...

Antisemitism and racism are very likely to be much more common without the nazi industry, though there probably wouldn't be many Kristallnacht either (maybe sporadic events following an economic crisis). More of a "You're not welcome here" attitude.

No lend lease, the Germans on the Volga, then Stalin dying, I can see the USSR collapsing. Though it might take decades until the German control every single square km. China if Japan doesn't go at war with the Allies.

There would be partisans, lots of them, but also collaborators. OTL there were collaborators in France. France who saw Germany as its biggest enemy since it existed. France with a rather strong democratic tradition, almost nonexistent fascist movements until Germany invaded (and most of them...

Made me think of https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=261579 Rumsfeld becomes president with Cheney as VP and they turn the US in an anarcho-capitalist dictatorship (yeah). Later on Cheney is replaced by some religious crackpot. And... it's not even ASB!

Not Algeria, the northernmost part was considered as French as Paris. Vichy had stripped the local Jews of their rights, though I don't think they were deported like the mainland jews were. Besides Madagascar, Guyana or some pacific islands is a possibility - far away from Europe, nothing...

I can see Germany throwing boats of jews on Palestine to incite Arab rebellion against the British and force them out of the Middle East.

The Germans wanted to deport the Jews to Madagascar. Those who are able to flee before the Nazis get to them would try to go to Palestine, the Americas, Australia or NZ. Brazil and Argentina were dictatorships at the time IIRC, maybe Chile would be more attractive. But no state is going to...

IMO the terms are ASB. The german generals were a proud bunch and they're not going to surrender in 1943 the sphere of influence previous German rulers have tried to acquire the past 100 years. What seems more plausible to me is D-Day failing in a total bloodbath, then Germany grinding the...

I remember a Blitzkrieg mod (Operation Apocalypse) with a reverse operation unthinkable: http://www.blitzkrieg.be/bkmods/oa "July 20th, 1944, the Valkyrie Conspiracy becomes a succes and the world is stunned to hear that the greatest enemy of freedom, Adolf Hitler, has been assassinated. The...
