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

    "Because sulfur mustard vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas, increasing the risk of exposure there. Avoid low-lying areas. Sulfur mustard can last 1–2 days in the environment in average weather conditions and weeks to months in very cold conditions."...

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

    You are referring to the use of gas against first line troops equipped to deal with it. I was referring to isolate the front line by the use of gas that would made it impossible to horses to bring supplies. Nearly all the references to the Falaise gap air attacks mention the spectacle of...

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

    I am speaking of massive, and continuous, heavy bomber gas strike against the front and its immediate rear zone in, for example, Normandia. You cannot fire a gun that does not have ammunition. And if one of the Axis powers use gas against the US Army I am not at all sure that distinctions would...

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

    In Nuremberg Goering asked the Wallys why they didn't use gas, as the horse driven Germany logistics would have collapsed. If the Axis start using gas in the Philippines...

  5. Malaya What If

    IMHO he should have engaged. And yes that is an easy position to take from my home more than a hundred years after the fact. But he was Royal Navy and he knew his traditions

  6. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    In any case in that situation imho the whole continent would go to hell. Germany has won the war but cannot pay back its debts to its own citizens. From France to Italy to Russia there is an Irregular war, revolution, whatever, that is going to follow for years and years.

  7. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    After the official end of the WW1 the war followed for years in Russia. If your hypothesis is that the UK abandoned the European mainland to its fate. That the French and Russian Governments surrender. Then IMHO it would be hell.

  8. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    In 1870 after Sedan the French Government dissolved. All that was needed was to occupy Paris and take control of the Country. Paris fought alone and by its own for two months, one week and three days. If the French Government surrender that is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the...

  9. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    "28, 1946. 2 The German government's internal debt at the end of World War I was about 146 billion marks. the German total national income." From: 'Debt and Democracy in Germany - Jstor" I haven't been able to find the French and Russian Gold Reserves in 1914 but I doubt very much they would be...

    An interesting question, except for the POD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Health_Service_(England)

  11. Restoration of the Great Ming: A Tianqi Timeline

    So I have reached the end. I may try to go back and read the comments. Again thanks a lot for your work

  12. Restoration of the Great Ming: A Tianqi Timeline

    Sorry for the (very) late reply, but Innocent X famous answer when he first see the picture was "Tropo vero" (too true). I am fast reading this excellent TL. Thanks a lot for your work

  13. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    It may very well be that the king is offered an ceremonial position with an better Palace than the one he gets in Vienna, honours and a civil list. But no real power. And if the offer is not after Robespierre falls but after an military coup, then the last part is for sure an precondition to his...

  14. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    Yes, good thinking. In this TL the 1795 constitution could very well bring back an Constitutional Monarch. Or it may have to wait for the equivalent of Napoleon's coup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Year_III

  17. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Yes very much so!

  18. Military tactics ( that were never developed or employed )

    Something like a Sea King or Super Frelon with the Saab Viggens radar in the nose (huge antena as it is not as aerodynamically challenged as a fast jet) and some Sky Flash missiles? It will be limited in range compared to being launched from a fast jet but its role would be to provide small...

  19. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    They might have been accidents, and to be honest, at least, the Sanjurjo one was most probably so, but at the time very, very few people believe it...
