9/11 in the Third Reich

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Hitler got along quite well with the Moslems; he'd probably have more understanding for them than most of the present-day right.

Thanks, Captain non sequiter! :D

To clarify: I really can't see the point of the question. The Nazis, obviously, do something horrible. Why bother to ask? It doesn't strike me as a very interesting exploration of an AH, especially since we're given no background whatsoever. To reinforce the notion Nazis Are Bad? Unlike with the Communists, this rarely strikes people as necessary. To draw some sort of analogy with current events?

The post smells of "The Nazis would know how to deal with terrorism" or, to be charitable, "those dammn Muslims should be grateful we're not Nazis".

That wasn't what I was trying to say. I don't make crude political statements in the guise of "what if's". And the reason I didn't give much detail was because I wanted to give space for any number of possible scenarios like a "Nazis vs. the U.S. Cold War" or a "Nazis vs. the Japanese Cold War", etc. Sorry if didn't make it clear but that's what I intended.

The only thing this has in common with current events is that dissidents use a plane to destroy a major landmark belonging to a superpower, hence the title, "9/11" in the Third Reich. Other than that, I don't see any analogies. The U.S. wasn't committing a genocide of the Muslims before 9/11 whereas the Nazis of this TL were with the Slavs. And if the U.S. began a "War on Terror" because of 9/11, the Nazis of this TL, were already waging a a "War on the Slavs" the day Hitler won the East, so this attack is just retaliation while the OTL 9/11 was a declaration of war. I just can go on and on explaining the little differences but I won't.

And if you can't see this as an "interesting exploration of AH" or if you can't see the poeticalness of the Great Hall, the very symbol and epitome of the newly acquired prestige of a victorious Nazi Germany being being blown open by a small team of Slavic freedom fighters then I won't try to convince you. If this isn't interesting for you at all, then feel free not to post.

A couple more questions.

What POD led to Nazi Germany surviving to the 1960s?
Which other countries are still around besides Nazi Germany.
What's the political situation like?

Like I said above, I didn't want to give much detail but seeing that people can much easily answer the post with details then;

- Some POD in the East like the Germans launching Barbarossa earlier or them capturing Moscow and holding on to it in '41
- The U.S. and GB allied to it
- A Cold War between Germany and the U.S.

But feel free to diverge into other possible Nazi victory scenarios.
