  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Okay, just to put a stop to this rather interesting, but increasingly heated debate before it gets fully out of hand, I'm going to break my own rule here. Race relations in the U.S. circa 1961 are similar to OTL 1975. Things are far from perfect, there are still plenty of issues that need to...
  2. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    The Allies DID, come up with it. In point of fact it was an AMERICAN, Robert T Jones working for NACA, who came up with the mathematical formula that governs the actual practical application of the tech.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Who indeed? Well it is- No, I promised no post war details until the main T/L is finished. :p
  4. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    This utterly misses the point. U.S. production was excessive to ALL of its needs throughout the war, by late 1943 it was excess to the ALLIES combined needs. The U.S. didn't build more tanks because it didn't need more. The same goes for aircraft, trucks, commo cable, uniforms (sent 35...
  5. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    The basic problem with the increase of subs and the consequent decrease in Destroyers is that WW II subs are intelligent minefields not true offensive platforms. You can get lucky and collect the occassional scalp of a heavy warship, but it is just that, luch. You can't hunt heavy units in the...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Thanks for the kind words. :) Unipolar is so boring, don't you think? :D
  7. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    Don't get into the production argument. It is a loser for the Axis. In addtion to the figures you note (and this is from your same source) Warship production USA 8,165,600 tons Germany 905,400 tons Merchant ship production USA 38,090,300 tons Germany negligible This is just the tip of...
  8. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    While all ships and tanks use steel, all steel is not created equal. You use a different trpe of steel for submarine (or destroyer) construction than for BB, this steel is far close to tank armor and to the Krupps plate used on heavy warships. All engines are not the same. The engine parts of...
  9. Airpower at Omaha Beach

    A quibble: The Tiny Tim was an 11.75" inch rocket since it was the diameter of the 500 pound SAP bomb it used as a warhead and of the pipeline tubing it used as an airframe body. It also wan't in service until December '44. Marshall had a serious blind spot regarding the Corps. He thought...
  10. WI: First communist Revolution in Germany?

    Hmmm... Multiple Proxy Servers, immediate trollish posting in Chat as soon as you signed up. Banned.
  11. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    The British and French gave up the Czechs because Hitler had, quite successfully, concealed his actual intentions. The Reich's yards suddenly start cranking out U-boats while ceasing surface ship construction, well, that is a flaming datum point with only one possible conclusion. On a practical...
  12. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    So still having the Moon landing on July 20,1969 in this ATL isn't a good idea? Scurries off to make a note. Not that I ever would have done that... :p
  13. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Actually... True!:eek:
  14. Airpower at Omaha Beach

    The LVT wasn't a perfect answer to every issue, but it would have damned handy at Omaha, especially in the gun carrier variant. Hard fact is that the defenses of the vaunted Atlantic Wall were not in the same league as what the Japanese had in place at Tarawa, Peleliu, Saipan, Tinian or on...
  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Truman served three terms (the 22nd Amendment specifically excluded the sitting POTUS from its provisions). Joe Kennedy was a VP selection in 1952 to help with the Northeast (and to bring in additional finance dollars). Joseph Kennedy Jr. will be reelected in 1960 (really nice to be looking at...
  16. The Nippon-Indonisa War '45 - '48

    Okay... We're full up on crazy here partner. Take a week of deep breaths and try again. Kicked for general insanity.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Truman, Joe Kennedy JR. Hey, I kept it simple.
  18. What if Austria had unified Germany instead of Prussia in 1871?

    Move along. Nothing to see here. Locked.
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Joe Kennedy JUNIOR.
  20. WI: Germany concentrates on U-Boat production

    The Heer was actually quite weak in 1938. Take a look at WHERE a very large number of the tanks used against both Poland AND France were built and you will find Skoda as the manufacturer & CZ as nation of origin. The Heer called them the Pz.35(t) which was the vehicle that equipped the 1st...
