    AHC: Divide Germany along the Aldi supermarket line

    People often talk of the division Germany still sees in the form of the west-east line that once divided West Germany from the GDR in the Cold War, but there is another, more subtle, sinister, even more potentially destructive division that could plunge Germany into civil war: the line that...
  3. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    The post is simply wonderful. I hope who Charlotte’s husband gifted her also some smaller tiara, maybe with sapphires... P.S.: if you want a picture of Dagmar in the tiara who inspired Alexandra is this one: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maria_Feodorovna_(Dagmar_of_Denmark).jpg

  5. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Poland had a succession crisis every time ruler kicked the bucket and left more than one heir until the Restored Kingdom of Poland. Then for the next 350+ years we have reasonably peaceful power transfers with the short interruption for war between the supporters of Habsburgs and Vasas until...
  6. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    both the British 0.280 and the earlier 0.270 could shred a standard British army helmet at 600 yards! so the 5,56mm round has no advantage there and certainly loses energy faster as the range increases. IMVHO the original 0.27" British was about a good a compromise as you could get at the time...

    Threadmarks: Problems and little noticed details.

    Purely technical answer. No politics. 1. The Collins class currently is capable. However, the RIMPAC flashbulb reports on proven capability may give the wrong impression of what is possible with these boats. See 2. (Especially the underlined.). 2. The Collins class was first out the gate. It...

  12. AHQ: Is a Soviet occupation of all of Germany in WW2 possible?

    They would stop. If Germany is literally in that bad of a situation, they'll take everything out of France and willingly let the Wallies in. Stalin wouldn't push the issue either, he's far too cautious to go anywhere past the Rhine, especially since he knows that the Americans have the A-bomb.
