A young Mikhail Kalashnikov designing a new prototype assault rifle in the Soviet Neutral Zone based on captured German STGs and G3s. The rifle would then be named as AK rifle or Kalashnikov automatic rifle. Many of his blue prints would end up into the China sent to Chinese Communist allies where they began building their own weapons to fight the Japanese.

A Luftwaffe Stratospheric Fortress bomber unleashes it’s payload on tribal fighter positions near Niamey during Reinhard Heydrich’s African pacification campaign, circa 1960.

(Note: In the last few episodes the Nazis fly some sort of B-52 esque aircraft over San Francisco, so I figured this would work as a stand in)

IJA forces on the move in Manchuria.

(Note the tank pictured is an OTL French AMX-13. I figured it would be a decent strand in for post war Japanese armor given their preference for light tanks).

So the Reich came across the His Dark Materials reality?

No it’s not a crossover. I just wanted a good picture to represent an ‘alternate universe city’. At any rate in the original film that’s meant to be ATL London. While in this scenario it’s a city built in what would be OTL Indiana.

Remnant United States Army Forces Far East (USAFFE) backed by Filipino rebels continue fighting an insurgency against the Japanese Empire and the Second Philippine Republic, a puppet-state of the Empire, c. 1963.

While mostly armed with obsolete M1 Garands, M1903 Springfields, M1917 Enfields, and captured Arisaka bolt action rifles, most of the Filipino-American resistance have utilized newer captured Japanese small arms and received brand new Kalashnikov small arms coming from remnant Commonwealth Forces from Malaya, Chinese NRA, and Chinese Communist sympathsizers.
