Famous People From An Alternate World-The Axis Wins The Second World War

Jeb Bush: Florida Democrat and member of the anti-fascist lobby groups founded by his father George H.W. Bush following his older brothers death.
 
Rowan Atkinson - popular comic actor for much of the 1980s and early 1990s. Starred in the historical comedy Blackadder for four series, each one focused on a different period of history. The first one (The Black Adder) explored the middle ages and the time of Richard III, the second (Blackadder II) the Golden Age of Elizabethanism, the third (A Third of Blackadder) looked at the prosperous time of Anglo-German Detente in the late 19th century, while the fourth and final series (Blackadder For Victory) saw Atkinson move a nation to tears with his portrayal of an acid-tongued junior officer who was apparently the only man in the British Army who could see the futility of the war against their fellow Europeans in 1940. The final episode, 'Peace', saw the entire cast wiped out as they abandoned the defensive line outside Canterbury and attempted to raise National Socialist Revolution in the country surrounding them. The episode faded to black over the sound of upbeat marching bands, implying that Blackadder and his men died merely minutes before the reactionary British government's surrender.

Atkinson continued his career into the 1990s, playing a less politically-charged character, Mr Bean. A hapless and not always good-natured fool, Mr Bean often tangled with seemingly simple everyday situations and, in one mid-1990s film ('Mr Bean's Holiday') accidentally got himself shipped to a work camp in the East after filling out the wrong form at the Post Office. Atkinson retired the character shortly afterwards, and has not worked on television since. He remains an occasional actor on the stage, earning praise from The Sword's theatre critic for his portrayal of 'the lecherous Jew Fagin' in Oliver!.

Vincent Cable - genial presenter of the popular British television programme 'Come Dancing' for over 30 years. Was found dead in the River Thames in March 2009. The autopsy concluded an accidental death by drowning. Conspiracy-mongerers and the underground resistance in Britain have believe to this day that he was in fact killed by Special Branch for comparing Leader Nick Clegg (who at the time was dithering over further commitment to the Euromark) to Mr Bean live on 'Come Dancing' in early 2009.

Richard Barnbrook - Mayor of London. Elected in 2008. Known for his 'tough on crime, tough on the ghettoes of crime' slogan, he personally oversaw the demolition of the last Brixton ghettoes and the deportation of their inhabitants to work camps in The North. In recent times, has been suspected of having an interest in the Leadership, though he denies all such speculation.
 
Lucien Servanty: Franco-Argentine aerospace engineer and industrialist. After the end of the Second World War, Servanty, at the time an employee of SNCASO, quietly arranged to leave France for Argentina, where he was offered a far better salary and position. Servanty took a key role in Argentine aerospace engineering, helping develop the Pulquí - the first Argentine jet fighter, entering service in 1954, the Urubú - an early jet airliner, entering service with Aerolineas Argentinas in 1958, and the Huanquero - the first Argentine supersonic jet, a fighter-bomber design developed in collaboration with Convair, entering service in 1961 - for Fábrica Militar de Aviones (FMA, the premier Argentine aerospace firm). Servanty rose to become president of FMA in 1961, and ran the company until his death in 1973. Its willingness to sell to other quasi-neutral states and opponents of the GGR - particularly Equatorial Africa and Malagasy - helped FMA emerge as a major aerospace firm in the 1960s and 1970s.

Kurt Tank (and Dewoitine, for that matter) isn't going to be leaving Axis Europe; Marcel Bloch is likely dead in a concentration camp. So, instead, I decided to have the Argentine government pick up the engineer who would become a key designer behind the Concorde in OTL.

Juan Carlos Ongánia: Assassin of President Juan Perón; often alleged to be an agent of the SD, although some have claimed he acted as an agent of the OSS to discredit the SD (and the GGR in general) in Argentina.

Émile Dewoitine: Director of Aviation for Vichy France, 1945-1959; assassinated by a Gaullist youth in 1959.

Kurt Tank: Engineer for Focke-Wulf, 1931-1946; director of Tank Flugzeugbau, 1946-1969. Died in 1969; he is long-suspected to have been assassinated under orders of the OSS.

Adolf Galland: Head of the Luftwaffe from 1961 to 1980, when he retired.

Sir Michael Manley, OC: Long-time rival of Jack Layton within the Social Credit Party, Manley, who served in the RCAF during the Second World War, represented the Central Kingston riding from 1967 to his retirement in 1992; he died in 1997.

As in Central Kingston, Jamaica. Jamaica is a Canadian province ITTL, after all; the old British Caribbean territories found their way to political integration within Canada.

Ralf Hütter:Along with Florian Schneider, the leading figure in German "Electro Classical Music", arguably the only genre of German music popular outside the GGR. This international popularity is highlighted by the fact that he releases songs in English. Although his works celebrate and glorify the Reich's achievements in works such as "Speeding along Reichautobahnen" (see Cover art) and "Trans-Europa Express" (a homage to "Pan-European Gleichschaltung" after the great war) , they remain popular in the free world.

Nina Hagen: "High-priestess" of "Ostara", a neo-ariosophist organization fromed in the GGR. Patronised by the SS, the new cult is even expanding in the USA, thanks to charisma of its high priestess.

Sir Edwin Alliot Verdon Roe, OBE, FRAeS: Founder of Avro; supported Mosley both before and after the Second World War. He lost one son, Eric Alliot Verdon-Roe, to the war; his other son, Lighton Verdon-Roe, was shot down over France and interned in a German POW camp until the end of the war. Air Minister under Mosley's BUF government (though he stood as an independent), 1945-1951, at which point he retired. A.V. Roe died in 1958.

Teddy Petter: British aircraft engineer. Employed by Westland, his family's firm, from 1929 to 1943; injured during bombing raids on Somerset in December 1943, forcing him to take a leave of absence. Petter was tapped by A.V. Roe to lead a resurrected Westland in 1946; he took charge of design and production, and was largely responsible for the first all-British jet aircraft, the Westland We 101 Werewolf, entering British service in 1952. Collaborating with Arthur Davenport and the Italian Cesare Pallavecino, Petter developed the We 119 Belfast light jet bomber, one of the finest of the period; it entered service in 1957. Petter died while testing his latest design, the We 155 Eagle, a Mach-2 interceptor, in 1963.
