For a long time, now, I've been wanting to do a timeline about an alternative >1910 Europe in which everything seems to go "our" way, but...

It's my first attempt, though, so please be gentle
;). I WILL change several key characters and events so -for example- Erwin Rommel may or may not choose to join the Panzers. I will see. Comments are always welcome, though.

BTW, my nick is nijntjepluis (a little girl bunny rabbit from Dick Bruna's books - I believe she's called 'Miffy' in English, look her up on Google) but if wou want to address me, 'nijn' will do perfectly - that's what my wife calls me too.


And now...


A Teaser.



Bandeville, South-west of Paris, France - October 15th 1921

The morning was foggy but the fog was yellow and the trees were dead.

Germans strewn around a trench - some moaning, some silent. Operation Michael had succeeded and a German victory seemed certain. The Landser of List regiment felt they were being slaughtered for no reason whatsoever. The Russians were no longer a factor and the French, well, in Paris they still resisted fiercely but most were either dead or in Algeria.

On this day, Hanni, Rudolf and [CENSORED} (well, let's just call him Karl, then. -ed)



“Stormtroops Advancing Under Gas”, Otto Dix, 1924



So, again. Hanni, Rudolf and Karl were sitting in a trench. The stocks of French wine were gone and so were the women - at least the Parisiennes had had something to trade for their passage to safety. The war was nearly at an end, everybody knew that, they were going to go home and **** every German girl too. A lone Gefreiter, though, just sat in a corner with his head in his hands.

They never noticed the shell that was hurtling towards them.

Gefreiter Adolf Schicklgruber jumped up to deliver a few lines of rhetoric about the Heimat and doing their duty for the emperor when the shell landed and tore them all to shreds.
