You don't come OUT of the Quarantine Zone. The guard force tries to stop anyone from getting in, and generally succeeds, but they won't chase someone past the inner wall perimeter. You get in, you're in. You won't get out. Too hazardous for everyone outside the walls.

There are all sorts of valuable things in the ruins, gold bullion, jewelry, lots of items that collectors would pay through the nose to acquire. Not going to be coming out, not for a few thousand years.

The previous poster - which I was replying to with that in mind - talked about unmanned robots, though... I'm guessing you mean the robot would also not be coming out.

I forgot what exactly you had Berlin and Nuremberg doused in - is there really no way to decontaminate small items?

Everything in there is still highly radioactive, contaminated by anthrax, and probably a couple other of the Reich's bioweapons. It's a dead zone. even the rats have a hard time surviving. They try to shoot whatever birds they can, but enough get out that there are still regular anthrax problems in the regions surrounding Berlin and Nuremberg.

They would put a roof over it if they could. Maybe in a couple hundred years.

Fair enough.

Having actually been to both cities... it's sad to think of that.

I doubt to many ITTL think it's sad given what the Nazi's did everywhere else in Europe.

October 25, 1967 The group of students clashes with the military police after the death of Yun Posun and third of members in aftermath of the explosion inside the Korean Senate. The riot was triggered the waves of students movements across the Peninsula hoped to get rid of "American imperialism" entirely. The struggle escalated when the military police were sent to dislodge the demonstrators was of little or no avail. With Seoul erupted into a spontaneous mass protests which led to further violent clashes. Park Chung-hee tried to shift the focus by claiming that Chinese Nationalist Confederation agents had been behind the Korean Revolution. Nevertheless, the riot became the media spectacles

Vladivsotok, capital of state of Western Alaska

Region known earlier as Russian Far East suffered greatly during Soviet yeas. Americans invaded the region in 1958, at end of Hot War. There was much of debate fate of the region but finally Far Eat was annexed by USA and renamed as Westenr Alaska. Later it gained statehood.

Nowadays Western Alaska has recovered greatly and its economy is good thanks of much of investments and Western Alaskan oil and mineral mines. Its population is 5 773 000 (2020) and roughly 40 % of population are Russian speakers. Western Alaska too gets much of refugees from Soviet Union and China. Soviet Union is still claiming the territory but locals,even Russians are stricktly against such thing.

Francisco Franco,leader and dictator of Spain inyears 1939 - 1975

Despite being fascist authotarian dictator he never formally allied with Hitler's Reich. Even during Warm War phase Franco maintained neutrality and was one of fews fascist leaders whom had good ties with the West. He too acted as mediator between Germany and Allies in 1940's and early 1950's just beofore Hot War. Spain too managed to trade with both sides altough it was quiet limited. Franco too allowed relucantely some Jwihs refugees from France altough it is pretty certain that he accepted them only because he wanted placate Americans and Brits. When Hot War begun in 1954 and Allies invaded Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily Hitler asked Franco declare war and close Gibraltar Straits. Franco anyway refused knowing that Spain not stand on war against Allies.

When Hot War ended Franco allowed Conference of Barcelona where was signed the treaty which officially ended over 20 years lasted WW2. Franco never allowed Spain to transit to democracy but him had tone down of some of his oppressive behave against minorities and political opposition. He wasn't too allowed to develope army and Pain remained quiet backward regarding military technology. Franco ruled until his death in 1975.

Luis Carrero Blanco succeeded Franco after his death in 1975. Blanoco tried reform Spain and even allowed some limited democracy. But riots in several cities in years 19777 - 1978 enforced him step down and allow referendum if Spain is monarcjhy or becomes republic. Republicans narrowliy won the refernduma nd Spain became federal republic. Blanco fled to exile to Switzerland where he lived rest of his life.

Franco stepped down after the war after Allied threats. If I remember correctly, the A4 made it clear that if he didn’t, then the A4 was invading Spain and overthrowing him by force of arms.

CalBear wasn't quiet clear but I think that Franco ruled until his death. CalBear wrote there:

Spain – Biggest economy on European Continent. Franco was clever enough to see the writing on the wall, and mainly sheathed his claws, although true democracy had to wait for his demise. Has HUGE problems with illegal immigration similar to OTL U.S. and for same reason, 1st World country with a land border to a 3rd world country. Economy = OTL Italy.

German destroyer Z31, overladen with the few Kriegsmarine survivors of the Battle of Iceland, begins sinking rapidly after an explosion tore through the stern. It is rumored that the sinking was not caused by a naval mine as asserted by the Royal Navy, but by a torpedo from Polish submarine Orzeł (formerly US Tench class submarine USS Argonaut).

Charles de Gaulle was long-time leader of Free France. He anyway didn't ever enjoyed great trust by Americans and was seen ohnly as minor ally. During Hot War de Gaulle managed ruin relatinships with USA even further when he demanded French colonial empire being restored what Americans couldn't accept. When France was liberated at end of 1950's he wasn't anymore welcomed to his homecountry and de Gaulle fled to exile to Morocco where he died as bittered person. Nowadays in France he is only slightly more than footnote on French history.

Faisal II, king of Iraq inyears 1939 - 2009

Faisal's kingship wasn't very easy. Him became king of Iraq when he was only just little boy in 1939 and the country was already quiet instable and there was massive anti-British Arab nationalism. On end of 1950's the king sent small unit to Europe help Allies on war against Germany. This wasn't popular move and caused some protests in many cities.

Through 1960's Iraq suffered from great instability and UN had send peacekeepers to secure peace on the cuuntry. Finally it wa<s agreed compromise. For placate Sunnis over Sunni monarch it was decided that prime minister had alwasy to be Shia. Kurds got autonomy and seats of parliament were divided so that it was similar to religious/ethnic demographics of Iraq. The country stabilised greatly but there is still much of bad blood and many says that if A4 ever collapses or decides not act as world police Iraq might be first Mid-Eastern nations to fall internal violence or even to civil war.

FaIsal II had still pretty difficult reign altough he gave some of powers to parliament. But king of Iraq has evne still nowadays much of power on government. He too faced several assassination attempts. The king had quiet pro-West stance. Iraqi economy too prospered due oil export and tourism. Faisal II died in 2009 and was succeeded by his son Ghazi II.

de Gaulle exists to just piss off everyone who is supposed to be an ally with the french.

HMAS Melbourne and HMS New Zealand in the Black Sea during Operation Crossroad. The decision of the Turkish Government to ignore the Montreaux Convention and allow the passage of Task Force Drake was the perhaps the final signal to Himmler and the rest of the German inner circle that diplomatic niceties were no longer being observed.

Marines assault a Waffen SS bunker on the Rommel Line during Operation Chainsaw. The M67 Zippo flamethrower tank and the M50 Ontos tank destroyer projects had largely been abandoned by the US Army once the crash program to develop the Chamberlain/Sheridan tanks became priority, only for both projects to be revived by the USMC. Both vehicles proved more effective than their Army counterparts in clearing fortifications when air strikes were unavailable during the push towards Inner Germany.

Given what Germany had done ITTL I wonder if the flame thrower caused the same mass revulsion as images of its use did in OTL Vietnam? That said its still doomed in the long run as its to inefficient and to liable to blow back on the user to remain a viable weapon for long.

Probably the individual weapons more than the vehicle mounted ones.
