  1. A portuguese spy and Torch

    I just read that a portuguese spy, who was following allied convoys for the U-Boats, was on the verge of alerting the germans that the Torch forces were heading for North Africa. The british, through Ultra, detected it and arrested him in his boat in mid-Atlantic. Well, I always thought that...

  2. Last Light

    Anybody here has read Last Light, by Alex Scarrow? A novel about our world gone mad when the oil supply is cut off. Civilization as we know lasts about... one week! Scaring how real it reads.

  3. The republicans fight on

    In 1938, the spanish republicans launch a strong offensive. In OTL, they did so in Brunete, with 80.000 men, hundreds of tanks (soviet tanks much better than the ones Franco had) and air support. Lack of coordination made them lost the initial success. Let's say the offensive is a huge success...

  4. wwII without nazis

    1916. A certain german caporal is killed by a french sniper. 1933. The little nazi party is banned and dispersed in Weimar. 1938. Lack of air power for the nationalists and soviet aid let the communists win the spanish civil war and form a stalinist-like governement. 1939. Stalin grabs...

  5. sept. '39... and Spain still at war

    I did this some time ago but I'm interested if there are new ideas. The POD is the battle of Brunete, one of the main republican offensives in the SCW, in the summer of '38. Better coordination between the soviet tanks and the spanish infantry, a bit of luck and the Nationalist's front is cut in...

  6. Habbaniya falls, 1941

    Yet another WWII idea. I just read the account of a british officer about the iraqui assault on Habbaniya, the only RAF base in northern Irak, in june 1941. He said the base should have fallen in good military logic, due to the iraqui superiority, but it didn't. The germans send some planes...

  7. A torpedo does work

    In october 1939, U-56 launched several torpedoes against HMS Nelson Battleship. Two of them hit the battleship, but none exploded. Aboard, among other vips, travelled Winston Churchill. Le'ts say they exploded (some times did). Churchill is one of the several hundred victims. Some months later...

  8. 1944. Maquis successful

    I don’t know how plausible this is, but anyway it’s based in a little known military episode. Please excuse my english, I’m learning. What if the spanish maquis where succesfull in 1944? October 16, 1944. About 6.000 spanish guerrillas crossed the Pirinees from france. It’s the so...

  9. 1920. No miracle of the Vistula

    Let's say that, in 1920, the soviets take Warsaw as everybody expected them to do. Poland becomes another soviet republic. The following years would see a great revolutionary movement spread across Europe. Probably, Germany, UK and France would defeat the communist revolts, but anti-communism...
