    WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    ...the same Hitler who praised him as the Nazi ideal? I've never heard this before.
  2. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Submarines need bases. Nobody in the KM could predict that in 1940 the Army would gift them conveniently located bases in France. In 1935 to 1939 any planing for a submarine campaign would have to rely on bases in Germany, with both the RN and the French Navy operating to contain it. In that...
  3. WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    He was ideological and I don’t think anyone says he wasn’t at all but he wasn’t fanatic like Himmler, he was pragmatic which in some ways made it worse. If he was just brutal to Bohemia, resistance would be higher but by being both brutal but also treating collaborators better, obviously not...
  4. The Forge of Weyland

    The sad thing was that there was Goverments that did. Norway, Belgium, Holland, the pacifist mindset was so strongly entrenched there that even when Germany started marching not only towards war but across borders they just buried their heads further and further into the ground. It was also the...

    5 CHANGING THE GUARD From Battle Hymn: A History of the American Civil War By Eric McPherson, 1988 The war had finally reached a turning point in the Midwest. For the first time in the war the Union had scored a major victory and stood a realistic chance of winning. However, the Confederacy...

    Defending the Corinth Canal - means that the campaign has gone very badly and is effectively lost and therefore any such action should be considered a rear guard action while the allied forces are evacuating everything they can rather than an opportunity to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat.

    With a PoD starting from 350 AD, make a revival of Egyptian Paganism Possible

    Why? Hinduism is still a massively diverse religion with North Indian Hinduism, Nepali Hinduism, Assamese Hinduism, Dravidian Hinduism all massively diverse from one another. Paganism shares this trait with Hinduism in this regards. Shintoism, Taoism and Confucianism went through the same great...

    Having transited the corinth canal i can tell you it is one very deep ditch!!! Our ship had approximately one meter clearance either side. If I recall correctly there was a small area of low land that could be used for a pontoon bridge at the western end of the cannal.

    Side A: The Korean Peninsula under British control. Side B: Denmark takes over all of Korea, plus Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Baltics, etc.

    I guess the Italians would need to bathe its sun-kissed bodies all over those islands' cold waters, as well as in turn, both Faroese and Greenlanders would rather trade whales in exchange for animals used in Italian cuisine - well this would even extend Italy to take over the Baltic region...
  12. WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    The problem is, if at war against the USA, all Nazi regimes come to an end on August 6 1945 (or August 9, at the latest). If you POD US direct involvement, maybe you can find a way for the Nazi's to last a little longer (at least until the USA decides to 'lend lease' Tube Alloys a ton of...
  13. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    May I try an other shot in a possible future post TTL Great war? The war cost in human lives was tremendous. Never saw humanity a carnage of this scale. The young men returning from the front and the hundred of thousand mutilated men and or traumatized men had a profound impact on the societies...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Makes sense. So, Italy is going to get kicked out of East Africa much sooner. What does this mean for prince Amedeo, I wonder? OTL, he had caught TB and malaria during the campaigns and died in a POW camp shortly after the fighting was over, but from what I recall, he was already very ill when...
  16. WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    Honestly, I think people...overestimate Heydrich's pragmatism. Yes, he used carrot and stick in Bohemia and Moravia, but nothing he did there was at variance with directives from Berlin. He wasn't sent there to enact Generalplan Böhmen, but to ensure economic productivity, suppress the...

    The popular racial theory pre-WWII was Europeans being split in three races; Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean.
  18. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    I'd assume that they'd evolve into that role in any situation where they were built. Intitially they were designed as scout/scout hunters as the USN knew that they couldn't sit in the battle line and they had the evidence of Jutland to back up what happens when a ship protected by 7-inches of...
  19. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    No this wasn't 'well known', dedicated submarine schools like Portland had an idea but it certainly was not mainstream in the 1930's. Only after Convoy was introduced, by 1918 two-thirds of U-Boat attacks were on the surface and at night. It didn't really matter because convoy was doing it's job...

    @Masked Grizzly Need any help here? As a sign of continuation: So, one thing Nissan bought Kawasaki was to have the latter become a sign of guardian to Nissan in regards of its reliability, Kawasaki on other hand ended up as a tuner of engines and other technologies to Nissan - this even meant...
