  1. WWII: Japanese interment camp becomes death camps

    He wouldn't be shot. Too honorable. He would get the noose and an unmarked grave.
  2. WWII: Japanese interment camp becomes death camps

    The camp commander and his officers are tried and hanged for mass murder. The enlisted get tossed into the stockade for 10 years and wind up with BCD. The camp commander's own commander (and possibly even the Commander of the Military District) is likely tried and either hanged or tossed in...
  3. feedback-WWIII alt hist story

    Feedback? I have no doubt that you have put a good deal of effort into this, however, even in this very short opening a number of glaring errors are present. Third Sentence: Kamikaze charges. Factually incorrect. They were known as Banzai charges by the American forces. The tactic was the...

    Here's a suggestion... Follow your own advice. Actually... Make that an official warning. Calbear in Mod Mode.
  5. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    Word of advice here. Stop telling people to calm down or cool down when all they are doing is responding to your posts in a negative manner. Calbear in Mod Mode.
  6. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    The Soviets did NOT build the Ta-183 They built the MiG-15. The difference? The MiG-15 was a flyable design AFTER the Soveits did a lot of aero work on the aircraft to make it at least marginally stable. Take a lok at the Ta-183 and then look at the MiG. You will see a huge difference in the...
  7. Was there ever any chance of Barbarossa suceeding?

    Depends on how you define success. If done with the full attention of the Reich (e.g. no African sideshow, no screwing around in Yugoslavia causing a month+ delay in launching the operation) it would have had some chance of success. Not much, but some. An extra 100,000-200,000 or so men...
  8. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    The USSR didn't BUY the Nene from RR. British PM Atlee GAVE them 25 copies of the engine, gratis, in 1946.
  9. Help with Project Olympic TL

    Remarkably doubtful. The U.S. had learned an exceptionally costly lesson regarding going ahead just because the schedule was set at Peleliu. BTW: You do know about the Typhoon?
  10. Help with Project Olympic TL

    UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE. I mean ASB level of impossible. The cores were shipped in such a way that there was literally no way for them to detonate. The plutonium core has to be imploded, with all of the chemical explosive generated shock wave striking it at the same time. The timing is so...
  11. AHC: OBL Burned Alive in a Wicker Man

    Oh for crissake! Locked.
  12. Help with Project Olympic TL

    In that case, the invasion almost certainly never happens. By July Nimitiz, Halsey and King were all convinced that the invasion was going to be a bloodbath as more and more hard intel came in on the number of aircraft the Japanese had squirreled away for use against the landing force and as...
  13. Anglo-French Nuclear Exchange in the 1970's - What Would've Happened?

    The problem here is that the background is critical to the question and the answer. Since OTL's countries woul not have done it, that means the countries have to be radically different. That means a wholly different military set-up in at least one, probably both countries. Fascist states tend to...
  14. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    One point: The 1,200 mile range for the P-80C was on internal fuel. Using the wing hard points that range could be increased by about a third which was very close to the Mustang.
  15. Luftwaffe jets in the war

    Yes it will. The Luftwaffe disappears from the skies, leaving free reign to the Allied air forces. The Swallow was a hanger queen of the first order, requiring a full engine rebuild evey 10 hour of flight time (i.e. two sorties = two days down time) which used materials that the Reich could...
  16. Pacific War Redux

    As I have mentioned several times I will finish this T/L. A/A -N has, however, become much more of an epic than I had ever expected (or would have imagined possible). Once it is completed, this T/L will be revived.
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich had access to everything the USSR had, provided as tribute. The material necessary was cut off when the Molotov government stopped sending the shipments.
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    52 The true foolishness of the Luftwaffe suicide tactics was quite literally hammered home by the 8th and 14th U.S. Air Forces as the real preparation for the crossing of the Rhine began. While the initial attacks had come as a shock, and had cost the Allies many aircraft and some very...
  19. If CVA-01/02 are built, Falklands War happen?

    You mean the CarDiv2 CO who went down on the Hiryu? Or the figure skater? I ask because, given the rest of this T/L, I'm honestly not sure.
  20. If CVA-01/02 are built, Falklands War happen?

    Why would the RN still be using the Tracer? The Hawkeye entered service in 1964 and would have been able to operate off the scenario's CVA?
