a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

[Kaiser K]

On another note. I would like to state that I am fine if any of you want to make you're own content set within the confines of the Valkyrie-verse. Whether it be POV pieces. Analysis pieces or whatever. Not necessarily all fan made content will be admitted into the story's canon. But I would love to see you're ideas and own creative twists on the Valkyrie-verse and the Cold War between Fascism and Democracy.


As for the question of the next update. I am looking at no later then September 5th, 2014 as the point when the next update may be posted. It may of course be a few days off either way. However. Do expect canon content before the next update is ready to go!

I don't mean to be rude, but the sentence structure in your updates is bad enough to make reading this timeline very difficult.

If it isn't a run-on sentence, it's very disjointed with full stops placed randomly in the middle of clauses.

As I've talked about before on the board. My grasp on grammar isn't very good due to the fact I never went to public school and took proper grammar lessons. So there are obvious issues there. I admit it. But I am trying to work past them and improve.

 

[Komnenos002]

That's fine, if unfortunate. Your writing will definitely improve with practice as well.

Someone should do Polandball for this.

I'd love to see Polandball for this. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, Nazi Germanyball beats up Sovietball, and starts to get sick. Ukraineball, Belarusball, and others turn German. USAball keeps a eye on Nazi Germnayball. UKball gets sick.

Well, Nazi Germanyball beats up Sovietball, and starts to get sick. Ukraineball, Belarusball, and others turn German. USAball keeps a eye on Nazi Germnayball. UKball gets sick.

That be awesome to see. But I don't think I have the talent to make it.

 

[Historyman 14]

That be awesome to see. But I don't think I have the talent to make it.

Thanks for liking it. Here a another one.

Nazi Germnayball gets most of the other balls in chains, not not the Axisballs. Finland looks nervous. Hungaryball, and Romanianball eye each other. USAball teach ACTball that Nazi Germnayball is the bad ball. Chinaball don't came over to USAball home any more. UKball is nervous too. Indianball is eyeing Chinaball. All the Frenchballs don't know what to do. Reichtangle gets sent to deal with Hungaryball, and Romanianball fighting. Ukraineball gets a reward be begin nice. Turkey is unsure. Axisball...No clue.

For one to truly and accurately understand the damned situation of the Poles within the Greater German Reich. One must go way back to the hollow days that were September 1939 and the start of the Second Great War. It was here that the Poland's hard fought independence; won in the aftermath of the destruction that was the First Great War. Was lost as a result of Germany's rapid Blitzkrieg that tore the Poles defenses like a knife to butter. Ultimately resulting in the country's fourth (and final) partition by the Reich and the Soviet Union; as per the terms of the then secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.​

Here is an example from the update I just read.

Sentences should contain their own separate, unified ideas - known as clauses. One trick I have, is to try and read it as if you were speaking it out loud. If you find yourself pausing awkwardly on full stops, or talking without pause for too long, it's a good indicator that something is wrong.

For one to truly and accurately understand the damned situation of the Poles within the Greater German Reich. One must go way back to the hollow days that were September 1939 and the start of the Second Great War.

Going back to what I said, the two sentences here come off as disjointed and hard to read. The idea you're expressing is that to understand the current situation, you must go back to its past roots.

For one to truly and accurately understand the damned situation of the Poles within the Greater German Reich.

One must go way back to the hollow days that were September 1939 and the start of the Second Great War.

Neither makes sense when read on their own, so creating a break in the information is hard to read.

It happens again with the next two sentences.

It was here that the Poland's hard fought independence; won in the aftermath of the destruction that was the First Great War. Was lost as a result of Germany's rapid Blitzkrieg that tore the Poles defenses like a knife to butter.

It was here that the Poland's hard fought independence; won in the aftermath of the destruction that was the First Great War.

Was lost as a result of Germany's rapid Blitzkrieg that tore the Poles defenses like a knife to butter.

Your final sentence is a noticeable improvement. It's not too long, contains a fully developed idea, and is fine to read.

Ultimately resulting in the country's fourth (and final) partition by the Reich and the Soviet Union; as per the terms of the then secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

And shit... The Nazis might just be too dangerous for Hell anyway. Seeing as they would probably just come in and conquer it so they could turn it into more lebensraum!

The attempted Nazi conquest of Hell would make for one bizarre timeline.

 

[Admiral Halsey]

The attempted Nazi conquest of Hell would make for one bizarre timeline.

Churchill's "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons" quote would be put to the test for sure.

Higlights
Germany's return to the Olympic Games had barely begun when massive controversy had started. In the Women's 3 metre springboard. It had been analysed by most observers that German diver Ingrid Krämer landing was rough. And that she should've been docked points for the miscalculation. The diving judges however; two of whom were ethnic Germans. Were accused of bias when they awarded the gold medal to Krämer anyway despite the protests of the American divers.

But then the referee uploaded the board and in third place was Shigeo Fukushima.

And God is cruel, for when the K-4 came Romania would edge over Hungary. This rivalry though wouldn't continue with the women, for the Hungarian girls just couldn't carry on.

The defeats were a national tragedy within the German Reich. The three wrestlers in question vanished out of the public eye upon their return to Germany. Rumored to have been deported to labor camps in the R.K. Moskowien after the Games as punishment for their failures.

And there is some cultural content for you all. I did 1960 instead of 1956 because it was the first Olympics the Reich and Axis countries participated in since 1936 (Germany was barred by the Allied controlled IOC in 1947. And the other Axis states boycotted the Olympics as a result; this boycott ended in 1958 after negotiations between the Reich and the IOC proved fruitful and resulted in the lift of the ban. and the end of the Axis boycott).

I will add a background description for the 1960 Summer Games later. But otherwise the post is completely done.

This is a great update. The Axis beat the Allies in some places real good, and the Allies in other.

Could be just me or was that exactly the same as what Gurroruo posted in the After the Dust Settled NG ?

 

[Admiral Halsey]

Cool! Could we have a list of the top ten medal winning nations and which medals they won?

It's not just you. It is more or less the same list. I asked his permission to use it before hand however. With my own modifications that I made in a few areas of course.

Cool! Could we have a list of the top ten medal winning nations and which medals they won?

I'll compile something together along those lines later.

 

[Kaiser K]

Alright. I've gone and done the math. And now the final medal count for the 1960 Games have been added into the last update.

 

[JSmith]

I thought you might be able to be use this here-in some capacity at some point .
