This thread pre-supposes the Dunkirk evacuation was hampered by unusually rough seas. The nazi panzers closed in and British casualties were 30,000 before 250,000 prisoners were taken.
A truce was negotiated granting Britain her Empire and the Nazis a free hand in Europe. Without Western support the Soviet Union fell, and Hitler's plans of Lebensraum for the German people were realized.
It is now 1968, six years after Hitler's death. Germany is fighting a proxy war with the United States in Venezuela and the new Fuhrer is seeing rapprochement with the British League of Nations...
We were landing in Kiev. I put down my book: "Stratagems of Adolf Hitler". It was required reading at Sandhurst in the same way that, Hannibal or Cromwell, or any other successful military commander was. Whether you agreed or disagreed with the man you could not not acknowledge his achievements: an empire that stretched to France in the West, Norway in the North or to the Ostwall in the East.
Detente between our two nations had offered the first possibilities of exchange. The officer cadet exchange programme was an opportunity for a normalisation of relations.
Kurt had visited my home town two months ago, and now he was about to repay the favour as I walked down the gantry.
He was there on the tarmac, fully resplendent in SS uniform.
