  2. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    This has been long debunked. The effort and resources Germany put into the Holocaust was a rounding error in comparison to actually fighting the war. Here’s an excerpt from the book Why?: Explaining the Holocaust by Peter Hayes: Hayes details how the Holocaust didn’t cost Germany anything...

  9. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    A quick end to the Dutch Revolt could also see the Iberian Union surviving.

  12. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Bombing was very effective at killing lots of people in a general area, and lots of SS personnel would be killed. Destroying the rail road stations, crematorium, the gas chambers, and those who ran them would slow down the operation. As it was everything was running with no interference, how can...

    Maybe he join the Italian army in this timeline , if he born at all.
  17. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    A single hit on the ridge overlooking Omaha Beach taking out just one of the five MG-42s firing down on the beach would greatly reduce allied casualties and allow for the quicker taking of the heights especially if to destroyed MG-42 was covering a path leading up to the heights over again the...
  18. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    An urbanized polity not even 10 miles from Gibraltar that borders a metropolitan part of a European nation could be considered European as easily as an orthodox Christian polity 2000 miles from Paris whose government still believed in mysticism and whatnot on the eve of WWI. It just requires...
  19. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    I'm afraid to tell you you are under a misconception. I was too, and it's something that was only corrected by my time spent on the ground in the region You're looking at a national scale rather than looking at the patterns of settlement. I. E. Who lives where. The further you go from the...
