    Germany and Japan Unite!

    I was -7. Don't know if Dad ever saw it but Mom definitely wouldn't have. Then again, she saw The Day After in '83 and that totally surprised me... Yeah, basically teens and twenty-somethings started asking Mutti and Grossmutti some awkward questions...
  2. OTL Election maps resources thread

    The 1977-79 Spanish Cortes, though sometimes called the Constituent Cortes, was not technically one when it convened, as in a de jure sense it was supposed to to rule under the Francoist Fundamental Laws (Leyes Fundamentales). Practically speaking, of course, it absolutely was one. For one...
  3. WI: no Donation of Pepin

    So we're saying he'd continue the duchy of Rome? I'd imagine the pope would still be very influential in the affairs of the duchy and if he's too insistent I could see a Pope calling in the byzantines for help as well. It would probably take a few repeated interventions over the course of a few...

    DBWI: Carthage doesn't convert to Judaism?

    The Jews were brilliant money handlers, without them maybe there would be no Pan-Mediterranean Banking System during the High Ages? Maybe the Senones could establish a Pan-Italian Empire like they wanted to?
  5. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Yes, it failed to secure the global supremacy of the Hitlerian fantasy - Its other objectives have been reached though: Punishing France, and Humiliating the UK, Check. Re-acquisition of it's lost lands, Check. Breaking it's diplomatic deadlock, well by conquest. Securing one of it's flanks...
  6. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    Trying to combine the stealth of the f-22 whith the swing wing of the f-14 *shutter* that would have ended up as a complete disaster. If the Navy even wanted stealth a better option would have been to find a way to save the A-12 (and that could be done, the best way would have been bilding it...

    Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Not googling them too much, but have been making a list of all the presidents in this TL and when they served, including the ones before the start of the TL. So far I have: 1. Joseph Jenkins Roberts 1848-1856 2. Stephen Allen Benson 1856-1864 3. Daniel Bashiel Warner 1864-1868 4. James Spriggs...
  8. Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    Everything I read seems to indicate that the Danes had received advanced warning, but sat on their asses doing little to nothing. I envisioned this as the Germans not anticipating the Danish reaction. The landings took place sometime shortly after 4 a.m., but the Schleswig-Holstein apparently...
  9. Germany and Japan Unite!

    I don't know. I was 10-ish at the time. Found this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47042244 Seems to have been controversial in Germany at the time.

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    "Give me that New Religious Movement" The American Religious Movement was created in the early 1840s by Joseph Smith (1805-1857) and William Miller (1782-1850). It started originally as a syncretism of Smith's Church of Christ and Miller's Adventism, staying a quasi-Christian religious...

    Look at the Saskatchewan name 😉
  12. Russia vs Germany, WW2

    If the Russians did win, how long do you think the war would last?

    Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    Avoid the parley with the Germans if they're in Danish territorial waters. (as the Norwegians came to regret at Narvik). Maybe the bigger Danish ships can serve as a distraction to allow the torpedo boats (as slow as they are) to close enough to launch an attack.

    Go North, Young Man: The Great Canada

    Oh you have no idea....hehehe Short synopsis on the Automotive front: North America North America has five major automobile manufacturers - General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, American Motors and Westland-Reynard (If you count Tesla, six) and several smaller ones. It's similar to the world of The...
  15. WI: Joe Biden loses the 1972 Senate race in Delaware

    I just looked at the wikipedia article about this election and not only did Biden only win by a little over 3,000 votes, his opponent was expected to easily win re-election. What happens if Joe loses?
  16. Was there a realistic chance for all of Germany to become a marxist-leninist socialist country in the aftermath of WW2?

    Actually, the 1946 State Elections in the Soviet Zone of Occupation are generally agreed to have been free and fair. The SED won 47.5% of the votes and the eastern CDU (which, though not outright advocating for socialism, did support a planned economy and far-reaching land reforms) won 24.4% of...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Oh, and I will add, those death traps which the Americans (whose technological prowess and judgement you have extolled numerous times here) trusted enough to operate for years afterwards, put the president on board, dive to a depth of 440 feet, and then also demonstrate the snorkel to said...
  18. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    Istria would only be on thr cards if Italy could get boots on the ground. As theoretical absolute maximum I imagine the Treaty of London borders, which is to day that Fiume would undoubtedly remain Austrian even if the rest of Istria was taken. Bozen and Dalmatia are also unlikely short of a...

    Germany and Japan Unite!

    I heard the controversy was more over what the miniseries had to say than what it showed.
