    Is there any realistic way that the Eastern Bloc could have spent a lot less on the military after reaching parity in nuclear weapons with the West?

    It seems irrational to me that the Eastern Bloc leadership maintained such large conventional forces after around 1970 or so. Was the Eastern Bloc committed to such high military spending due to inertia, fears of an invasion (however irrational or rational), fear of a military coup, or some...

    Would holocaust casualties have been reduced if WAllies emphasized it?

    I was wondering if holocaust casualties could have been reduced if the allies had made the plight of the victims a core component of their propaganda around 1941. Perhaps Churchill and/or FDR could have made a major speech denouncing/exposing the holocaust and promising retribution to its...

    V2A9/10

    Let's assume that Germany is at peace through the 1940's, after Hitler acquires Austria and Czechoslovakia. The same amount of money that was given to the V2 program is the same ITTL. When could the V2A9/10 enter service? Would it have had enough payload capacity to carry a Little boy/Fat Man...

    If Hitler had won the war...

    This idea has been on my mind for a while and i wanted to see what you guys thought of it. How feasible would it be to make the b-36 bomber force into a biological/ chemical platform instead of retiring it? How would it be used against the soviet union?
