  1. WI: 9th Army retreats to Berlin

    Also the Seelow heights served to delay the Russian advance (slightly) so even if more of the 9th get back to Berlin in better shape someone else might get cut off or otherwise not make it in front of faster Soviet advance

    On the Franco-British Union

    Churchill proposed the Union when France was collapsing in 1940, as a way to keep the French in the war, uniting the resources of their combined empires to liberate France in the long-term. Reynaud agreed with the proposal, but support for it among other French politicians was lacking, and...
  3. WI: 9th Army retreats to Berlin

    Hopefully Hitler gets a heart attack for such a flagrant ignoral of his orders and dies a few weeks sooner.

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Great update. And wow I had never heard of this Bricker Amendment. Nice to see Nixon and Johnson both trying to build their own power.
  5. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Oh, also just remembered that NASA’s budget is not only self-sustaining, but likely to balloon in the future thanks to patent income. They won’t need conflict to advance progress in space continuously.
  6. What material were key to Germany defeat ww2

    wcv215 is right, 'key' suggests shortages that without being in effect would have meant a victorious Germany. And while some were more immediate issues than others somehow getting an abundance of them won't tip the balance here. Because the balance is against them in many ways.
  7. What material were key to Germany defeat ww2

    They had a few though. They just tended to get sidelined. Look at their guy in Norway pre invasion. It turns out that if you fire all your decent diplomats, you have a crappy diplomatic core.... -- As for the OP, my list goes like this: 1. Skilled people. No matter Germanues resources, they...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House
    Threadmarks: Part V, Chapter 34

    ...he did trust Hoover’s judgement. Hoover was a man he had admired for a long time: if he had to get help from someone, Hoover wouldn’t be too bad. *** January 29, 1953 “Tell me what I’m dealing with.” MacArthur said. “You know what we campaigned on. Who’s with me in Congress?” “Depends...
  9. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Not much a CP victory cliche but whenever Germany loses a war the meek germans always accept to be divided without struggle or context while suggesting something similar to another country (let's France) is considered super ASB.
  10. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    As far as I understand it, McPherson is arguing that the underlying characteristics and ideology of the Nazi regime make it very difficult for them to perform, absent Alien Space Bat intervention, better on their own on the technology front than they already did - that there were very few...

    AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    Shrug. Why We Fight - WWII 7 Film Documentary Series Riefenstahl LOST. Kapra WON. Propaganda made a great many things possible. QED. American soldiers believed in their cause. German soldiers (at least the thinking ones...^1) did not. “MAKE PEACE, YOU FOOLS!”

  13. AHC: Surviving Libyan Monarchy

    The premise of this challenge is that you have to retain the monarchy in Libya until the present day (April 2021). OTL, Idris I reigned as the only king of Libya from 1951-69. He was overthrown in the latter year by Gaddafi. Is there any way to see a surviving Libyan monarchy? Thanks for...

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

    Constrained by ideology and wrong thinking and a disordered world view, as I just analyzed for you, what does one think the OBVIOUS answer to that question is? If the NAZIs were not NAZIs, they would be NOTZs. They "might" make somewhat marginally better choices that will get millions of more...

    This is actually mostly done except for that I need to find a good terrain overlay, and add in most of the southwestern tusi.
  16. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    1. An overhaul of the economy and broad investment in new technologies and ideas. This will ultimately have to be no less ambitious than what happened in the 30s. 2. Momentum: a. Continued political strength of communist parties in western countries after the 40s and 50s, particularly France...

    Thanks. As is clear, I know little about the ins and outs; just enough to wonder if there was potential for a timeline

    AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    Incredibly naive to believe Hollywood has greater influence than the president, the Führer, and a declaration of war combined.
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    So the Nazis couldn't have done anything different because they didn't do anything different? You realize this is about alternate history right?
