  1. WI: Germany has to destroy every single bit of Autobahn (and is banned from building new ones) after WWII, because they are considered a Nazi Symbol?

    The ban on rebuilding would also apply to all inner city roads with more than 2 lanes and rural roads with more than 1 lane, unless a special permission by the Allied Control Council is granted. (Since that pretty much stopped working after the Berlin Blockade, it won't happen) Other existing...

  2. Beforeigners ( Fremvandrerne ) HBO Europe Series

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beforeigners Just watched this one ( in German translation) One could argue if it is AH, but the setting would go well in our ASB section. The premise is that in 2019 people from 3 different times in the past appear in the modern world. 1. the stone age 2...

  3. WI/AHC: Usage of "thou" as major difference between modern British and American English

    "thou" fell out of use during the 17th in the standard language, so this is a bit tricky. So I see basically two ways to get that result: 1. "thou" stays common enough in the English language ( like "du" in German to the present day ) and the use declines later only on one side of the Atlantic...

  4. WI: League of Nations closes Suez Canal to Italian ships in 1935

    Just an idea I've been having for while. The League of Nations went down in history as paper tiger, but could that change? Under the Convention of Constantinople from 1888 the canal is open for all Nations during peace and war. But if the League of Nations really meant business to punish...

  5. Modern Design Berlin ( Germania ) Map

    https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/gauglitz-stadtplaene-wie-hitler-berlin-plante-und-was-daraus-wurde/23736416.html Link is newspaper article in German. Carthografer Gert Gauglitz has made a 4 map set of Berlin in modern design, 1840, 1953, 1988 and an AH map 1950 Germania. In the link you...

  6. Collect Post 1990 German PODs Thread

    Since Thande pointed out that we lack AH with current German PODs, I have decided to finally start this Thread. (So you know what to do, if you don't like it ;-) This is supposed to be a collection of (mostly) political PODs in the Reunified Germany, so basically anything with a POD starting...

  7. Is post-soviet Russia a blind spot for AH? And if it's so, why?

    I've just read about the failed coup attempt 25 years ago . And I have the feeling that I hardly ever see anything here on Russia post that date, while the Soviet Union itself is a very common topic. At least the 1993 constitutional crisis and the 1995 election are very possible PODs, as well...

  8. (At least) 100 more meters for Heinrich Brüning

    -I- Monday, May 30th 1932 Reich Chancellery Berlin Chancellor (Reichskanzler) Brüning stepped into his office. He didn't really know why, maybe to say goodbye. One more Cabinet meeting and then the Cabinet would resign, President (Reichspräsident) Paul von Hindenburg expected that much...

  9. Challenge: Nobody has the intention of building a wall, really nobody /No Berlin wall

    I have been thinking for a while, if there are any possible ways of avoiding the Berlin wall, without changing the Fact that Berlin (West) was an outpost of the west surrounded by the GDR. I have acouple of ideas, but I want to give it to the board first. Rules: Pod after June 17th 1953...

  10. post-2007: Fatah Gaza / Hamas West Bank

    Here is my though: what if Fatah as a result of the inner-palestinian conflict in 2007, Fatah ends up controling the Gaza Strip, while the areas under palestinian control in the West Bank are controlled by the Hamas. Is this even plausible? What would be the results? I have some ideas, but...

  11. Gay Rights if the Weimar Republic survives...

    If this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it. The tings is, homosexuellity wasn't illegal in the Weimar Republik, and homesexuells where send to Concentration Camps by the Nazis in carfulls. So after 1945 there was basicly nothing left of the German gay right movement. So I am...

  12. Leningrad/Stalingrad switch

    Sounds like ASB, but that's not what I meant. Just imagine Zarizyn (Volgograd) beeing named Leningrad in 1924 and St.Petersburg beeing named Stalingrad in 1925 or maybe a bit later in this TL. I doubt this POD would cause important butterflies soon, so I imagine *Stalingrad would be ab even...

  13. WI: Mankind doesn't invent beer!

    I really can't post a POD, it probably would have to bee a couple of PODs, since I am pretty shure that beer was invented by many civilisations. Or is this to ASB?

  14. wank the puppet: Could Petains L'etat Francais outlast WW2?

    I don't think this has ever been discussed here, it is very impropable, but I don't think it is 100% ASB. The rules: The Aim would be to have France as a souvereign country without ocupation troups, that gives the Chef de l'État Français Pétain a tremandous funeral when he dies in 1951. France...

  15. looking for a good POD: UK gives Hong Kong back to National China (Taiwan)

    Just got the idea and I like it, but... getting a POD like that isn't that easy. A shorter land-lease term for the new terretories (something like 70 years) would be a possibility, but that would be to early for my taste. Postponing Red Chinas recognistion as the official Chinese Government...

  16. Cyprus in a Communist Greece TL

    Bsasic idea: the Communists win the Greek Civil war and the Entire Country get's shut away behind the Iron curton. What would happen to Cyprus? Could it become the "Hong Kong of the Eastern miditeranean"? Asuming that, with all the small islands, the Greek border will be a lot harder to...

  17. Embargo vs. the Berlin Wall

    I got the idea from a book by Wolfgang Leonhard (Meine DDR). He wrote that the right reaction to the building of the Berlin Wall would have been a Western Embargo on the GDR or even the entire Eastern bloc within 24 hours. ´He claims that the DGRs economy depended so havily on trade with the...

  18. Will Christian Kracht make AH popular in Germany?

    The new book of German author Christian Kracht "Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten" is although it doesn't say so on the book, Alternate History. POD is apperently, that Lenin did not enter a certain train waggon in 1917, but started a revolution in Switzerland:p instead. His...

  19. No 1999 CDU contributions scandal

    Just imagine it wouldn't become public. What would happen? Very likely Germany would see another CDU/CSU-FDP coalition in 2002, with Chancellor Schäuble running (or rather roling) the country. German participation in the Iraqi war could follow. Any more ideas comments?

  20. Could the Kosovo join Albania after WWI in a CP Victory world?

    I had this idea of an Albaniawank TL. It should obviously not start before 1913, when Albania became an independent country. So getting the Kosovo would be the first step. Serbia would never give it up without a fight, so we need Serbia weakend. Macedonia would likely go to Bulgaria, but Kosovo...
