While I personally think TNO is a pretty fun mod to play I still have to admit that I don't think to highly about the plausibility of many of it's portayals of the Nazi planning of how a post-World War II Europe would look like. Some of them can found in the portayal of the SS Ordenstaat Burgund, a state planned but not created Nazi state which serves as the mod's main antagonist-power. The ones I have discowered are the following:
1. The planned state wasn't actually meant to include the Paris region, so the whole "Ost-Paris" thing comes of as a rather lazy allusion to East Berlin but without any of the geopolitical situation that made the latter mentioned partion possible.
2. Burgund's capital was actually meant to be Dijon/Tichen (a city which for some reason is missspelled as Tichau in the mod) or Nancy/Nanzig.
3. The state was also meant to include parts of eastern Switzerland and have land connection to the Mediterranean, which are areas that Burgund can't even conquer in the mod.
4. The French population was meant to be expelled from Burgundy as opposed to forcibly Germanized like in the mod.
Do you here on this forum agree with my objections and can you come up with some more on your own?
