    COMBINED NACH DEM TAG/DARK COLOSSUS TIMELINE

    In a bid to make the story more accessible I would like to present a combined timeline of the two stories. As previosly mentioned the Dark Colossus story is one continuation of the Nach dem Tag timeline - there are others sketched out, but not yet developed. There have been a couple of...

    If not Speer, who?

    If Albert Speer had left the German armaments ministry in 1943 or 44 (say to go back to architecture - just humour me) who might have taken over from him? Who was his deputy? Who was Todt's deputy?

    The Hand of God

    Thanks to Nytram01 and Hamo1j for inspiring this story. Part 1: Thursday 6th February 1958 Heinrich Schreiber is not happy, the headlights of the Opel van that he is driving pick out patches of grey slush on the black asphalt of the main runway. The control tower is annoyed with him for...

    The Dark Colossus

    I'm going to start this thread again as I made a mistake in the title the first time I posted it, there doesn't seem to be any way to alter it and it annoys me... :rolleyes: The Prologue, Part 1 and the Acknowledgements were posted before (so skip them if you've already read them), the rest...

    The Dark Colossus Prologue

    The Dark Colossus Prologue: Sunday 13th December 1931 The New York City streets are dark with winter rain. The shows are closing and the crowds that pour from the doorways of theatres hunch into their overcoats and hurry through the gusty wind that blows cold raindrops into faces and turns...

    Indian independence - How Early if no Japanese rampage in the Far East?

    Forgive me if this has been done before (perhaps someone could point me to the thread if it has) How soon would India gain independence from Britain if WW2 had not occoured or if it had not touched the Far East? I'm assuming India would become a Dominion rather than following the...

    French Coup, October 1940.

    Is there any way in which a coup could have been organised against the Vichy government in or around October 1940? Who might have led it? Let us assume that someone other than Darlan is C-in-C of the Marine National and that Operation Catapult does not take place. (Perhaps because the C-in-C...

    An extract submitted for comment and criticism

    The following is a short passage from a piece of alternate history fiction I’m trying to develop. It is reproduced in the form it would appear in the story and I am presenting it here for comment and criticism because I’m a bit worried about its overall plausibility and want other opinions...

    India's GDP question.

    Does anyone have - or have access to - Angus Madison’s ‘Monitoring the World Economy 1820 to 1992’? If you do, and you have a minute, could you look up the figure for India’s level of GDP for 1938 and 1943 for me? It will be around the ‘C’ section and measured in millions of 1990...

    Foreign ownership of US companies question

    Between 1933 and 1941 were there any restrictions on ownership of US companies by foreign interests? Specifically could an ailing US company (perhaps because of the recession) have been bought out by a foreign group of investors?
