Propaganda Cartoons of the Fascist Confederacy-
Photo from a Freedomite propaganda cartoon depicting a Black man as a thiefing gambler.This harmful ,racist stereotype was used to monger fear among White Confederates that Blacks wanted to steal their money
Another image of a stereotypical black.This one depicts the Blacks as lazy good-for-nothings.
All of these cartoons were banned for good post-GW2.
Please keep in mind,I am not trying to create or encourage stereotypes,I am simply depicting them.
I apologise if any one of these images offends anyone here,for that is not my intent.

A few football ones...
Just Fontaine is carried off the pitch by his team mates after the 1966 World Cup final (aka "Le Miracle de Rome") in which France beat Germany 3-2 after extra time. The result caused a huge lift in the French post-war psyche; Britain's triumph in the 1968 European Championship (also against Germany) would have a similar effect on the other side of the channel. Coming top of a group which involved Uruguay, Mexico and Ireland, France defeated Argentina in the quarter finals (in which Argentina's captain, Antonio Rattin, refused to leave the pitch after being sent off due to the language barrier; following the game, Kenneth Aston, head of the British FA, had a brainwave driving back to his hotel following the match when stopped at a traffic light, ultimately resulting in yellow and red cards being introduced), and host nation Italy in the semi finals. In the final, Germany were 2-1 down before scoring with a minute to go to force extra time; In the first period, a shot by Fontaine crashed down off the underside of the bar and bounced off the goal line; France claimed a goal, while Germany claimed it had been cleared. After consulting with British linesman Ken Dagnall, Swiss referee Gottfied Dienst gave the goal...earning Dagnall the title of “Juge de ligne Brittanique” in French football folklore. (In Germany, however, they remain adamant to this day that the ball did not cross the line and the goal should not have been given). Fontaine could have been the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final when Germany were caught on the break in the dying seconds, but Fontaine blasted the ball into the stands to kill time on the clock.
Harald Schumacher, goalkeeper of the German national side during the 1980s. He, along with his team, are universally regarded as the villains of the 1982 World Cup in Britain. In the group stage, Germany and Austria-Hungary went into their last group game at Hampden Park knowing that if Germany failed to win, they would be eliminated, having lost their opening match to debutantes Algeria, while a German win by 3-0 or greater would eliminate Austria-Hungary at Algeria's expense. In what would be dubbed "The disgrace of Glasgow", Germany scored after ten minutes, followed by both sides passing the ball around their own halves for the remainder of the match (at one stage, the German TV commentator refused to commentate on the game and the Glasgow Herald printed the match report in its crime section). Then, in the semi-final against Britain with the score at 1-1, Ray Wilkins ran through on goal only for Schumacher to deliberately catch him with his elbow. Although Wilkins needed to be stretchered off and would not play again until the following March, no foul was given (such a foul today would warrant a red card and a lengthy suspension) and to add insult to injury, Schumacher saved two penalties in the shootout to send Germany to the final. Some measure of retribution was acheived in the final, as Germany lost 2-1 to Brazil (who had beaten Austria-Hungary 2-0 in the other semifinal) who controlled the match from start to finish. Austria-Hungary missed out the bronze medal as well, losing the third place play off 3-2 to Britain.

The top one is certainly more than vaguely disturbing (he looks like the Devil who chows down on souls that gamble themselves into the grave!), though one feels rather sorry for the poor fellow on the bottom - "Ol' Melons" may be a harmful stereotype, but he didn't ask to be drawn that way!
Two more football ones, focusing on the two best players never to win the World Cup:
Gerd Muller, nicknamed "Der Bomber", played for Germany in two IF World Cups and two European Championships. In 1968, he made his competitive debut as Germany won their qualifying group ahead of Austria-Hungary, before exacting revenge for the contentious 1966 World Cup final with a 6-2 aggregate win over France. At the time, the host was drawn from the final four qualifiers, and Britain were selected as hosts; having beaten Russia on the toss of a coin (penalty shoot-outs would not come into being until 1970), they faced Britain, who beat them 2-0 thanks to Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton. He made his World Cup debut in Colombia in 1970, with Germany topping Group 4, they beat Britain 2-1 in the quarter finals in which he scored both of Germany's goals. Despite getting another brace in the semi final against Italy, Germany lost 4-3 in the game of the century. Italy themselves lost 2-1 to Brazil in the final, who won the Jules Rimet trophy outright as their third title.
Muller once again faced Britain in the qualifying playoff for Euro 1972, and again Germany won, 3-1 on aggregate, to reach the final four. In Belgium, Muller scored both goals in a 2-1 semifinal win over the hosts, and then twice in a 3-0 win over Russia in the final.
1974 would be Muller's last World Cup. Despite losing to co-hosts Lithuania in their opening match, Germany recovered to finish second with wins over Chile and Australia. However, they lost all three of their second group stage matches, against the USA, Britain, and eventual winners Italy.
Diego Maradona played in the 1982, 1986 and 1990 World Cups. In the 1982 tournament in Britain, his side recovered from a 1-0 defeat to Belgium to beat Bulgaria and El Salvador to go through to the next group phase. However, Argentina were eliminated; despite beating Poland, they lost the other match to eventual champions Brazil, in which Maradona was sent off.
1986, co-hosted by Texas and Mexico, Maradona was ever-present as Argentina topped their group ahead of Italy, before beating Texas in the second round. Then came the quarter final match against Britain; early in the second half, Maradona was first to react and scored when Peter Shilton miscued a punch and punched the ball backwards against the crossbar, before beating four British players, including Shilton, two minutes later to score again. He then coined a term for an unbelievably lucky break when, annoyed by questions from the press, he sarcastically suggested his opener was "The hand of God". Argentina then beat the USA 2-0 to reach the final, but Maradona failed to score as his side lost 3-2 to Germany.
The 1990 tournament in France saw Argentina face old enemy Brazil in the last 16, with Maradona scoring the only goal of the game. Argentina then beat Austria-Hungary and Portugal in penalty shootouts, before losing a dour final 1-0 to Italy. Sadly, Maradona was injured in the 1994 World Cup in Brazil, and Argentina were eliminated in the quarter finals.

Senator Carter Glass of Virginia seen at the Inauguration of Wade Hampton V on the 4th of March, 1922. Glass's supporters tried to get him the Whig Nomination but ultimately coming in in third place, in front of Majority Leader Oscar Underwood of Alabama, and behind Senator John Sharp Williams, who he asked to be his running mate, and now President Hampton.
Former President Wilson at the front door of his home in Staunton, Virginia, circa 1920. By the picture, it portrays that he did not fully recover from the stroke he suffered in 1917, upon learning of the Confederacy's defeat in the First Great War. Another stroke would take his life in 1924 when he received word that former U.S. President Roosevelt was going to be buried in the front lawn of Arlington House, the former home of General Robert E. Lee.
Thought this would be fitting to post here. A link to a TL 191 version of Wolfenstein TNO: https://beastboss.deviantart.com/art/tl-191-Fort-Wolfe-742596413
Soldiers of the United States Army bogged down in a trench at the start of the Siege of Louisville, 1881. This trench would become much bigger as the conflict rages on.
If you ask me, Turtledove missed a HUGE opportunity to use the Knights of the Golden Circle in the series. Imagine the in-series conspiracy theories, like the Confederate soldier who found Lee's special order was a K.G.C. agent or that the Freedom Party funding by Golden Circle gold or have the Confederacy gain MORE territory between the Second Mexican War and the First Great War. So many possibilities!
German Actor Hans Rudolph Sonnenschein, a famous actor from the "Colonial" Genre. A genre of TV and movie starting around the 1950s and continuing today, mainly as movies rather than on the small screen. "Colonial" films were set in German Colonies (hence the name "Colonial") during the time around the beginning of the 20th Century. They typically had Heroic German Explorers or officers fighting against hostile natives as well as German Criminals who use the Colonies as hunting grounds for their crimes. Several of these "Colonials" were sometimes filmed in places like Mexico rather than the actual colonies these days, due to some areas of Mexico looking perfect for the role (hence the nickname of "Taco-colonials", or "Tacolonials" in the US). Nowadays, Colonials tend to be less Heroic, and more about the moral greyness of the regions during that period.
Wow, that is very creative.

The Reichskriegsflagge is seen flown outside the home of a German American family in the southwestern part of the State of Ontario, in September 2010, celebrating ninety three years since the end of the First Great War.
The Reichskriegsflagge is seen at a Trump campaign rally in 2016. When asked, the owner of the flag said it was to represent German American support for Trump, as the candidate's own ancestry can be traced to Germany. Despite this, many of Trump's opponents have used this as an example of the "German Hacking" narrative after Trump's victory in the election.
I dunno, I always imagined Trump being German in this TL, maybe Ronald Drumpf? Dietric Tumbauer? I dunno, and the Americans hacked his Chancellor-Election. And the "Make Germany Great Again" Pickelhaubes would be best sellers. I dunno, that was just my interpretation.
