From a political point of view, it could actually be a fairly clever idea, I think. What better way to justify your dictatorship than having the big bad Judeo-Bolshevik hordes right there on your border?

Well, invading Russia was the whole point. He wanted to gain Lebensraum for the people he deemed Aryan and destroy Communism in the process. If he never declares war on Russia, the whole war becomes pointless from a National Socialist point of view.

I think post 1900 is too late to get it to last for a very long time, though that might be partially wishful thinking. You could still get it to last a while longer by using a bunch of small PODs which work together to achieve the desired result, but I doubt you're going to get it to last...

Hmm.. Let's see. So, I believe this actually is a DBWI set in a world in which the Warsaw Pact never collapsed and East and West are still in conflict. Of course, the fact that it's so hard to understand kind of ruined the purpose of the thread, as most responses are now completely off topic. ^^;

And how do you propose they do that? Sealion is impossible, as has been discussed here quite often. Hitler could go berserk on Africa, theoretically, but I sincerely doubt a Mediterranean strategy is the road to victory. The Royal Navy will make the supply situation a nightmare and the ports and...

Is Franco really stupid enough to risk it? Pavelic is one thing, but the leader of one of the greatest Axis powers and Hitler's BFF is something else entirely.. I mean, it should be pretty obvious that keeping dear Benny around isn't exactly the best way to make friends with the West and that...

Well, it's actually very easy. You just need to use a POD well before its problems become too large to solve. But the OP is very poorly worded, so I'm not quite sure what kind of response he's looking for.

Yeah, I'm going to cast another vote for "never" here, at least not as the National Socialists defined victory. Perhaps some scenario is imaginable where it ends up as a (very bloody) draw, but an actual victory? AA-line and all that? While not changing so much about the war that you're just...

Dutchman of German descend with blue eyes and brown hair. Yeah, I'd be fine.

Kill off Lenin and Trotsky as soon as possible, though not before the creation of the USSR, obviously. The former to get rid of an inspirational leader around whom everyone could rally and the latter to stop him from whipping the Red Army into shape. Strengthen the Whites somehow, make sure the...

Fascinating. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I think that was the whole point. You assign these losers who did despicable, horrible things to an incredibly dangerous position with the intention of getting them killed.

So you prevent Nicholas' death, but the same people still try to assinate the Tsar in the exact same manner? I'd say the butterflies would probably have something to say about that. In fact, there's no need to have him survive the assassination with a POD that far back. It would just never...

German :p Their first language is French, though.

The consensus on this forum appears to be that logistics would prevent them from doing so. Why would Stalin want to annex all of those countries? They served him perfectly well as satellites. Giving up Germany and Italy just so that he can add even more discontent minorities to the USSR seems...

Austria can't annex all of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania, nor would it want Venetia back. The last thing it needs is even more rebellious minorities in the Empire. Because of their internal weakness, they'd also be unable to keep control of puppet regimes in the Ukraine and Greece...

Eh, what the hell, I voted for Heydrich. Because I'm evil.

While he was more liberal than his successors, he was still a conservative. Don't expect the Duma to get any kind of real power; it'd be like an even more autocratic version of the German Empire. And the reactionaries who would succeed him in real life are still alive, so I wonder how much...

Just because the US doesn't enter they're going to fight 4 more years? I really can't see that happening; none of the countries involved can support a war on this scale for much longer.

What if Talleyrand's plan for the partition of Belgium between the powers concerned with its fate had been accepted? It's bound to have some rather interesting consequences, seeing how the British now have actual continental interests and the French-Prussian border has just been massively...
