nazi germany

Sorry guys if the tread was already discussed recently (I'm only on mobile and the search option on mobile is crap) but i was curious in how long could the germany economy hold without war. let's say: Hitler doesn't get greedy and decide to postpone the occupation of the Czech till the...

How can the cold war be prevented with a POD of December 11th, 1941, the German declaration of war on the US. Any Cold War must be prevented, not just one with the Soviets. This means that you can't just have the Germans win, unless you can do it without a cold war between the USA and Germans.

Supposing that the Nazis manage to delay the inevitable long enough for the Americans to nuke them, what would the effects of this action be? What would the list of potential targets look like, assuming Allied armies haven't entered Germany yet? Would Japan surrender preemptively in the face of...

In OTL, Churchill advocated the idea of the Allies attacking the USSR once they defeated Nazi Germany (Operation Unthinkable). However, the plan was deemed unfeasible (understandably, due to Soviet manpower and Allied war exhaustion) and thus was not executed. But what if Nazi Germany's...

Of all the German bombers of WW2, I think that the most useful and cost-effective of them all was Junkers Ju-88. It served from 1939, although in very small numbers at the beginning of the war, all the way to the end of the conflict. It had numerous variants, and was used not just as a tactical...

The inspiration for this story came from: 1. A thread about a cultural revolution in 1960s Nazi Germany 2. "The Casket of Marie de Medici," a Soviet detective movie that I watched while hung over one night. It wasn't a good movie, but it had some interesting ideas. I later found out it was...

What ze title says, or would Scandinavia remain as Reichskommissariats?

So, suppose that Hitler is successful in getting the british out of the war before taking on the USSR. He eventually wins, and manages to create a new german-dominated order in Europe. The japanese aren't so lucky and are defeated by the US and China after hard fighting. What are the...

So, let's assume that Chamberlain dies early and is replaced by someone more war-willing, or is a bit less prudent. What then happens is that the munich agreement is never signed, and the franco-british governments threaten to declare war. Hitler, being a very bold and ambitious guy, still...

Operation Gumbinnen or Goldap-Gumbinnen was a daring strike of the soviet-belarusan front against nazi german forces holding out in East Prussia. IOTL, the operation was a failure due to effective fortifications utilized by the defending german forces, but the soviets still managed to capture...

I just thought of something that might interest those that want to do something with a Nazi US cold war: a third world war occurring in that time. Now obviously it would be closer to Calbear's excellent Anglo-American Nazi War than any other WWIII TL, be they conventional, nuclear, or in...

Plan Rubber was the codename given to US military plans for the occupation of the Northern coast of Brazil during World War II. The plan was raised in response to concerns that Brazil would enter the war on the side of the Axis, or would at least act in a manner sympathetic to the Axis cause...

French Council Republic or the French Soviet Republic: It all started with the French legislative elections to elect the 16th legislature of the French Third Republic in 26 April and 3 May 1936. Thanks to the collapse of the government in Spain in March and the attack of the Nationalist to...

What if the Zentrum Party had not voted for this crucial part of Gleichschaltung in 1933?

If the Nazis had won WW2, they would have taken over large portions of the world. How long would their government likely last before being brought down by revolution or other factors? A dozen years? A century? A millennium? Would there have been war with Japan?

I was brainstorming a bit about the possibility of a neutral US in WW2 and came up with a half-baked scenario. Let's assume the americans take a neutral stance in all of ww2 (an earlier PoD like FDR being assassinated, aggravating the great depression and forcing the americans to commit to...

Let's say that for some reason - stiffer resistance in France or Yugoslavia, British troops landing in Greece, major sabotage in German industry, new information revealing Soviet army size to be bigger than expected or whatever - Operation Barbarossa is delayed enough that the German staff...

So, assume Stalin is a bit more deceptive. He still negotiates an invasion of Poland with Hitler, and when Germany executes the plan, he also invades. However, when both german and soviet forces meet, Stalin declares war on Germany and attempts to invade the country. -How much of a chance do the...

This may seem like a silly question, but I have seen it cause some serious problems. I have known people who have thought Nazi uniforms are "cool". From the steel "fritz" helmet to SS uniforms, the jack boots etc all of it. That is why they start with the uniforms and sadly (and almost...

Classical Fascists/Italian-style Fascists tend to dislike Hitler calling him not a Fascist, but a curropter of the ideology. Even Mussolini the "Father of Fascism" hated Hitler, he was simply afraid of him, basically forced into an alliance. So, with that said. Imagine Hitler dies in WW1, no...
