All Quiet on the Eastern Front

Really enjoyed this but was just wondering with the reference to the Commonwealth i'm assuming that means the Commonwealth became a lot closer in this world (excluding India)?

First, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

As for the Commonwealth, Britain and the dominions (maybe some of the former colonies, too, haven't thought about it) basically became an Anglosphere NATO. I put it in to add a small level of AH color to the story more than anything else.
 
If apartheid has ended in this TL have any Afrikaners gone to the reich. I'd imagine those vast tracts of unused farm land would look very good to the white supremacist boers.

Good point - I'm sure a fair number did make the trek to the Reich when apartheid ended (probably a generation earlier than OTL in one of this TTL's very few bright spots).
 
Very true about the depessing enviroment of Europe and the Word ITTL. So many killed and driven off. So many cultures squashed and sublimated by the purges.

With Germany and her allies triumphant, did they have much influence in the decolonization of Africa and Asia? What are their relationships in South America?

To get away from this setting, what do you think you will write next?
 

Why, thank you. Glad you enjoyed!

Not very much. National Socialism has some exceedingly minor aspects that limit its appeal in Africa and Asia; then again, sufficient supplies of weapons and technical support can sometimes overcome such ethical concerns.

What are their relationships in South America?

Argentina has a Reich-backed insurgent movement (so does Egypt), but most of the continent is firmly in America's pocket.

Actually, just an hour ago, I had the idea for a 'James Bond with the serial numbers filed off' tale in TTL 1957. The outline is steadily gaining weight. :eek: I'll put a link here when I start posting it in the Writer's Forum.

Sounds cool and I will look for the link. When you have time of course. :)
 
Really loving this. Unrealistic as it is, one does love a good Nazi victory TL and they are sadly damn hard to find. I do hope you will continue this TL or world in general.

P.S. Really love OGefr. Kirschner's Wehrpass. Just that small step in worldbuilding that makes all the difference.

Thank you! I'll probably get back to it one of these days.

Thank you very much. My late friend Paula Graves made it, and she did a fantastic job.
 
That's one of the most depressing aspects. This Reich has been around for almost ninety years and the mass genocides were wound up half a century ago. Hardly anyone alive remembers what Europe was like before Hitler. Worse - even if the Nazis are one day pushed out of power, their actions aren't likely to be undone. The East Slav ethnicities are almost extinct (ten or fifteen million Russians, maybe a half million Poles, a handful of others) while 'Germanic' is well on its way to becoming a cohesive ethnic group (note the Dutch and Scandinavian surnames sprinkled in among minor characters).
This is quite a significant population collapse even among the Russians outside European Russians when you consider that there were about 23 millions Russians (and about million Ukrainians and Belarussians) living east of the Urals and most of the 15 million evacuated there in OTL (probably more in TTL) would be Russians.

It's been a few months now, but I think I meant Russians in Europe - Germanized survivors - not the ones who were born in or escaped to Siberia and the Far East.
