  1. WI: Manstein appointed Commander-in-Chief East in January 1944

    Why would you do this? Thread is inactive for a couple months and you roll with an utterly pointless insult? Don't do that.
  2. Nuclear weapons in the southern hemisphere

    South Africa did exactly what the Israeli did for years. They constructed the Physics Packages and the bomb casings/explosive shells but never mated them. They could then technically state that they had no nuclear weapons since the casing/explosive shell was simply a HE bomb until the Physics...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Actually that is a relatively low figure. IOTL on D+1 to D+3 the U.S. pushed 6,614 tons of supplies across the just the U.S. held beaches. I specified it as low to illustrate the difficultly the continued Reich resistance was having compared to OTL
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    After the surrender, Japan was primarily concerned with not starving to death.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Be close, the A4 sort of doesn't care about nukes, and they have sub-orbital hypersonic bombers, but the navies of the ATL are much weaker, the ground forces are not large and are not quite at OTL 2015 tech levels. If the war required movement across an ocean, and nukes were off the table, the...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    About right. Renewable energy is also much more advanced, as is rail travel in the U.S. & Canada (maglev has put most short haul airlines out of business)
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich had actually taken over the Port and the area around the port it prevent the WAllies from sending military supplies to the USSR via that route (and to "inspect" i.e. steal anything that the Reich thought to be of value to the German State rather than let it get through to the Soviets...
  8. 1950s Sino-American War?

    Can't be done. Hell, the PRC couldn't do it TODAY (they would be very hard pressed to invade Taiwan if push came to shove and the island is only 100 miles off shore.
  9. WI Brazil invade French Guyana in 1961

    They had a carrier. They just didn't have any attack aircraft (well, they actually had three TBF that the USN donated to help the Brazilian navy with training, which had been on Lend/Lease to Holland and the UK, unfortunately one of these rolled off the deck during the Atlantic crossing from the...
  10. WI Brazil invade French Guyana in 1961

    Wow! That is a B-17F (no chin turret, bubble nose).
  11. Luftwaffe Zeros?

    I'd guess Witwenmacher (widow maker).
  12. Luftwaffe Zeros?

    Actually its Shattered Sword. As you note, a brilliant well documented work
  13. WI Brazil invade French Guyana in 1961

    Pretty much spot on. The British sent just about their entire fleet and a significant percentage of their mobile forces literally a third of the way around the planet to take back a set of islands with a total population of under 3,000 people (and crapload of sheep) in an era where the whole...
  14. Luftwaffe Zeros?

    There is also no reason that the British couldn't put the Tempest into operation, except the engine wasn't ready yet, or go with a later Mark of the Spitfire (heck let's go all the way to the F.24). For that matter the the U.S. could simply start to provide the Lightning to the RAF with the full...
  15. Luftwaffe Zeros?

    And by the time this aircraft is in production it will face the Spitfire Mk XIV and Tempest and get chopped to bits (or the P-51D, P-47D bubble tops, P-38L, all of which turned the A6M Model 52 into shredded aluminum garnish across the Pacific).
  16. Luftwaffe Zeros?

    Actually the BoB was too soon for the A6M to be of much use. The initial per-production run of aircraft did not arrive until July of 1940, with squadron production copies not reaching the field until early September (total production through Sept 30, 1940 was under 50 airframes), while the BoB...
  17. WI Brazil invade French Guyana in 1961

    No. The Tropic of Cancer was chosen for exactly that reason, to limit the OpArea of the Alliance. Probably wouldn't matter all that much. The French are still a substantial military power. Perhaps just as importantly the move would, understandably, cause great consternation in London (Since...
  18. John F. Kennedy Assassinated in Berlin, June 1963

    I just read through this. Excellent bit of work. I do have one question/comment/snivel - Why were the rather primitive U.S. ABM systems (which were never really even designed to be a serious ABM, having been developed from a basic LoS SAM) much more effective than the current GDM with all of...
