I think that sounds like a good idea, to be honest. Giving the POV of someone who lived under Nazi rule will help to remind/show people just how cruel the Nazi regime was, and just how important it is to never let a similar group rise to power again. I imagine quite a few historians would be interested in funding it, plus you'd have various groups who also suffered similar circumstances contributing as well.
That sounds good, yeah. I definitely think they'd support it.Do you think it would work best as an evening PBS special?
Economics is a bigger killer that those international effects and seems Post Vietnam and post oil shock recession will still happen, and if Reagan not pull a nixon and boycott the hostage alongside bush sr...it would be the hostages liberated early...but economics might cost him badly.Elsewhere in politics, how should Jimmy Carter solve the Iranian hostage crisis, and how should he respond to Carstens' acension to the West German presidency? Is he still doomed to be a one term POTUS?

Pretty sure he's doomed even if he saves the hostages. The economy is the big killer, here. Rescuing the hostages should still be possible, though. At least part of the reason why Eagle Claw failed was because of bad luck, with another reason being the commander aborting the mission while there was still a chance of success. Better luck with the conditions of the helicopters should allow for a successful Eagle Claw. As for Carstens' ascension, it might be a good idea to offer support. From what I know, he was not a bad man, and his reason for joining the Nazi party was so he could work as a clerk, I believe.Elsewhere in politics, how should Jimmy Carter solve the Iranian hostage crisis, and how should he respond to Carstens' acension to the West German presidency?

Ronald Reagan might just take the election here, especially since film is even bigger here. As for what Carter can do about the economy, pretty much what Nivek said, though I would add that the Progress City idea might help, producing jobs in the Rust Belt.
If we're bringing Jimmy Carter into the equation, than might ITTL Habitat For Humanity use the Progress City model for reconstructing disaster areas?Ronald Reagan might just take the election here, especially since film is even bigger here.

Do you you think a a succesfull uhf at hemdale could cause the company to surrive past 1995Don't forget that the Orion founders are still at UA in TTL. Thus, UA will also have Blake Edwards' movie 10 and will import Monty Python's Life of Brian to the US. And don't forget Caddyshack in 1980. The rest of the OTL Orion titles from this period could go to Hemdale ITTL.
