  1. No WWI: impact on the Ottoman Empire

    Hmmm, how would the development of Israel go? Instead of the Balfour declaration, an steady but slow stream of zionist settlers and time to grow. Nb. I think that over time the Israeli's and the Christians in the Levant (Lebanon) would like to have independence.

  2. Long Live Sacred Germany: The Oster Conspiracy | Alternate Timeline

    Mayby with luck, their will be no "Venlo Incident" in this timeline.

  3. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    The Marder I was based on the Lorraine 37L, the II on the Panzer II, and the III on the Panzer 38(t), so the official Marders should have been too heavily affected by earlier developments. Given the greater thread of heavy armoured allied tanks, I think that the work on the Marders will be...

  4. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    I think it will have some major impacts even in the later stages of the war. Everybody looks at the situation on land and ignores the implications for the naval side in the Baltic. With the capture of Leningrad, all the ships / ports of the Russian Baltic Fleet are gone, Freeing up resources...

  5. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Why not "Kat's Angels" instead of Charlie's Angels or could A-team be some kind of roque seaborne version that keep on fighting Pirates against the OKW orders....

  6. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    For pure war related materialen, the Belgians could use Zeebrugge.

  7. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    you mean an bigger/better COW gun..

  8. No F-104 Starfighter for Europe! Alternate designs instead.

    Yep, but they trained as they would fight. I lived in the 60's/70's in an German Low Flying Area. And the Low was Low. Flying beneath 15 meters (about 45 feet) was allowed in those areas. Factor in hills / fog / rain etc. even an hiccup could be fatal. Nb. Driving along an small road and being...

  9. Malaya What If

    You are right, but during WW II, things where a lot different. Communication was much more difficult and in an place like Malaya the only link to the US would be in Singapore. Also the movement of reporters was far more controlled and acces to unit in combat was often denied. For one of the few...

  10. Malaya What If

    Yes, but the y. will understand that, although both forces recived warnings. A military force at peace, will react slower than an military force that been fighting for 3 years already

  11. Malaya What If

    Even so, Thailand and Pearl Harbour are in different timezones cq days. This fact alone could be an fudge factor for the American Public. Pearl Harbour would be the place and time most of media / public would be focused on. Events in other countries would be reported on in detail some weeks...

  12. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    They did, but the USAAF didn't need a lot Mosquito's. so they got a few as reversend Lend-Lease. see: https://www.key.aero/article/when-us-army-air-forces-flew-de-havilland-mosquitos

  13. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Or in the case of NA, captured English Trucks.

  14. The Other Countries in a Cuban-Missile War Victory

    As the last remaining Nuclear Power, I think that the US will make sure that no other power will get Nukes.

  15. Into the Fire - the "Minor" nations of WW2 strike back

    What are you drinking...., I know that south-americans are into all that macho stuff etc.. But they are not stupid. 6 inch guns and thin armour against 15 inch guns, is only having an death wish.

  16. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    And make a turn in place

  17. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    And given the lack of communication (no radio's , only messengers) on all levels of command even an greater nightmare. Every squad/platoon will fight it's owm battle with little support if any at all.

  18. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    You are correct, but it would fit on an small warship like an Fairmile D motor gun boat or the Steam Gun Boat

  19. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    Why an submachine gun?. Is an PCC (Pistol Calibre Carabine) not an better option. It handels better than an pistol with an stock but is still lighter and handier than an rifle.

  20. Fairey wins a Battle

    Easy, before "smart" bombs, bridges where difficult/though targets. They very small/narrow targets. A bomb has to land within a short distance of the bridge to have an effect. With guns, you can do an straffing run and walk your fire into the bridge hitting it. An ponton bridge is made up from...
