  1. What would the impact on WW II with no Valkyrie?

    They weren’t working with perfect information or with the benefit of hindsight. Some of these same folks thought their vengeance weapons would destroy Allied morale. It’s easy to look back and say that was stupid to think now, but they didn’t have all the information we do now.
  2. Why were the Wehrmacht's logistics so bad?

    They weren’t. Everyone just looked terrible in comparison to the USA.
  3. Why do people on this site unanimously agree that a Nazi European victory via defeating the USSR in Fall Blau and ceasefire with west is impossible?

    Real life events of the last several years should provide plenty of evidence to not consider something like this impossible. History is filled with plenty of implausible, stranger than fiction moments.
  4. Why isn’t the fact that 400,000 innocent people die in Japanese occupation in august 1945 on, used in the atomic bomb debate more?

    Yeah, few people realize how evil the Japanese Empire really was. I was talking with someone recently about how the Japanese were in some ways even worse than the Germans and they seemed to have no idea. I’d still put Germany as evil number 1, but the Japanese gave them a run for their money...
  5. If no nukes, how likely is WW3?

    WW3 is a 99% guarantee. Maybe a WW4 and 5, too.
  6. The Fall of the United States

    What history are they teaching in schools these days?
  7. AHC: Put humans on Mars by this year

    Nitpick time! :) 12 men landed on the moon, but 27 men have been outside of LEO and thus have been outside the Earth’s magnetic field - the three-man crews from Apollo 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
  8. Country First: McCain pulls plug on Palin as VP

    McCain loses as bad, if not worse, than OTL. Maybe he loses close GOP won states like Missouri and Montana.
  9. Did the USSR have a chance of surviving in the 1980s?

    I would say the USSR collapsing was more improbable, if anything. I don’t think it would be particularly improbable to keep the USSR alive until the present day. I think you could probably opt for a POD as late as 1991, although such a USSR would be weaker considering their satellite states had...
  10. Is Nazi rule worse than colonial conditions?

    Nazi rule carried out to it's logical conclusion would've been far worse than anything done in "colonial rule." The only reason the Nazis didn't exterminate hundreds of millions of people is because they ran out of time. In a Nazi victory scenario, on the other hand...yikes. Both were evil...
  11. Everyday technology we use OTL like the internet and cellphones not invented

    The metro would be a lot louder. People would actually talk to each other!
  12. Earliest Plausible Manned Moon Landing

    I’m not sure if it could have happened much earlier than it did unless computer technology was also much further along than OTL.
  13. What the if rule for two terms for presidents was never created in 1947?

    FDR won a third term over a year before the U.S. entered WW2. Seems like a convenient excuse, if that was the justification
  14. WI/AHC: Southern hemisphere Winter Olympics

    Looks like the ski resorts in the Southeast US in Tennessee and North Carolina are better than the ones posted for South Africa, haha. Anyways, I think Chile makes the most sense for a host country.
  15. AHC: Right wing terror groups in the US

    LOL at the notion that the 2008 financial crisis wouldn't have happened if Gore was President. It was going to happen no matter who was president, barring some huge butterflies. It may not have happened in 2008, but it would have happened sometime in the decade without large-scale changes well...
  16. AHC: Right wing terror groups in the US

    Frankly, most of the scenarios you guys are throwing out are just not really possible. I don't think this AHC is doable. Keep in mind that most posters on this forum veer to the far-left, so your guys' view of American right-wingers is fairly warped. There really is no base for right-winger...
  17. What a Way to Run a Railroad - An Alternate History of Eastern Railroading

    I demand a Nickel Plate-wank! We must see hundreds of 2-8-4 Berkshires roaming the rails!
