  1. WI Japan realised how dangerous America really was...

    Ah, the nerve gas myth. The Reich never had sufficient stocks to "drench" anywhere with Nerve agent. They produced, over the course of the entire war, less than 30 tons, probably under 20 (there is a 9,000 ton range in estimate of Sarin production with number ranging from 500kg up to 10...
  2. Which Battle was more Decisive: Stalingrad or Kursk?

    Stalingrad in a walk. Especially if you take the entire campaign into account. The Soviets lose there and they may come completely unstuck. It would have made if much more difficult, if not impossible from a practical sense, for the Allies to provide Lend-Lease via Persia. It would have cut...
  3. WI Japan realised how dangerous America really was...

    Not a chance in the World. Either question. The Japanese had no choice but to have a go. They absolutely had to obtain the resources of the DEI and Indochina, the U.S. had bases perfectly positioned to strangle any Japanese efforts, and the U.S. had already stomped on Japan's economic...
  4. American intervention in 1939?

    Not the T-28. The LT-38 (known in the Heer as the Pw-38(t), with the (t) indicating that it was a Czech design). http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-38t.htm
  5. American intervention in 1939?

    The U.S. was utterly unprepared to fight in 1939. The American idea of how military forces should be raised was very much stuck in the 19th Century, and the early part at that. The cherished belief that militia was enough, that a large standing army was a greater threat than protection, ran deep...
  6. 6th Army escapes Stalingrad

    WAY out of line here. Accusing someone of being a Nazi is a heavy charge on the Board. Nazi's get Banned. Because of that when someone pulls that card out they have better have the facts in hand. The number 14 doesn't come close to proof. I have looked at HistoryMan 14's posting...

  8. What does Nazi Germany do next?

    The Nazis wanted a limited number of long term slaves, mainly in General Government area, mainly very young, who could be brought up in conditions similar to those found in the Antebellum South (kept illiterate, raised to be chattel, etc.). Older people (which was anyone over about 35, although...
  9. What does Nazi Germany do next?

    Hitler would have been far healthier in an ATL where the Reich wins the war. His Parkinson's was almost certainly both stress related and its progress increased by the looming defeat. To get any sort of Reich victory (and that is a REALLY difficult thing to arrange) it has be clearly happening...
  10. What does Nazi Germany do next?

    There is also the way that most of the deaths would have occurred. The "plan" was to deal with the population in General Government and in Russia by "extermination through labor". This means you simply work the poor victims to death through a combination of starvation, exposure, and lack of...
  11. What does Nazi Germany do next?

    Europe turns into Hell. Virtually every Jew on the Continent would be killed (9.5 million people), the Roma population would have been obliterated (1 million), somewhere between 2/3 & 3/4 of those in the "General Government" area (more or less Poland) which would be 20-30 million (many dying...

  14. AHC/WI: Serbia won the Bosnian War

    Wow. Bigoted much? This is exactly the mindset that allowed the horrors of the Yugoslavian Civil War to occur. You're kicked for a week. Don't display this sort of bigotry again
  15. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    No, I gave you a direct comparative. The P-47 had a COMBAT RANGE of 800 miles, the bF-109 had a combat range of 521 miles, the P-51 had a combat range of 950 (all of these are on internal fuel). The P-51 with drop tanks had a combat range of 1,650 miles. This does not mean it could fly out 1,650...
  16. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    He doesn't really have to fire on Soviet units. all he needs to do is increase the already existing mining operations around Hokkaido. The U.S. had effectively isolated the Japanese Home Islands with what was/is the most effective mining operation ever seen. With the bases on Okinawa the B-29...
  17. WI: Soviet Invasion of Honshu

    Combat range =/= combat radius. The P-47 had a combat range of 800 miles with up to 1,200kg (2,500 pounds) of bombs/rockets/ammo, but it could effectively operate out to a maximum of 350 miles (800/2 and around 10% subtracted for forming up and full throttle combat maneuvering) on internal...
  18. WI/AHC: Decisive Victory at the Marne

    With French in Command of the BEF it is difficult to see how this happens. Maybe if Kitchener had relieved him during his visit and taken command himself, or even devolved it to Haig, the BEF would have been more aggressive and advanced into the gap between the two wings of the German Army...
  19. American/German Cold war

    The plan was in place until the very end. The July 44 coup attempt just reinforced it. Hitler did not trust the General Staff (with, it does need to be noted, some good reason given they did try to overthrow him and/or whack him several times), in fact he didn't trust ANYONE who wasn't part of...
  20. American/German Cold war

    He said that after both men tried to cut deals with the WAllies. Prior to that they were his chosen successors (Goring as first choice). Without the Allies and Soviets crushing Germany between them like a walnut in a nutcracker, neither of those men have to show their true colors and desires to...
