On the other hand, fate of Slavic-descended Americans under Pelley could be better than IOTL. The main reason for this would be not pissing off Pelley's AUS the most important ally - Russia under Boris Savinkov (who is the most likely path for Russia in KR) by mistreating descendants of Slavs (who aren't any threat to Pelley and his regime, and who are often light-eyed and light-haired). The second reason is, that the Russo-American friendship (Russia helped USA in it's War of Independence) is traditional and in absence of Bolshevik revolution Russians aren't considered a threat to USA. Orthodoxy also could be seen positive by a Pelley's regime (Pelley himself was a mystic and claimed to met God in person, he'd definitely have a positive opinion towards Russian Orthodoxy as a very mystic and spiritualist religion).

German soldiers of the 24th Panzer Division fight in the Battle of Munich during the summer of 1941. Due to supplies and manpower from the Danubian Federation, who recently had joined the Reichskpact against the Internationale, the Germans not only stopped the French push into Bavaria but also permanently hampered the offensive capabilities of the French Army. This victory did not come at a low cost, however. Over 200,000 casualties were reported on both sides during the battle.

After the collapse of the German colony of MittleAfrika during the 1960’s, Reichkspact peacekeepers were frequently present in the Congo in order to keep the peace between rival tribes, especially the ones armed with former colonial weapons. In this picture, the major city of Kanaga became one of the more violent places in Central Africa, a battleground between four different tribal factions. All German-brokered ceasefires have not lasted for very long, and the conflict has no end in sight.
Lets do a plot twist!
Muammar Al Gaddafi was a secessionist advocate for Fezzan, in Tripolantia. He advocated a decentralized Jamahariya system. Fezzan was largely looted, and a very poor part of the nation. Eventually, a revolt occurred, and he said "the peasants of Fezzan have had enough! Allahu Akbar!" The revolt was crushed within a few months, and gangs from Misrata captured and killed him.

Interior of an HKH in San Francisco, PSA
At the time of Himmler’s death in 1965 HKH had restaurants all across Mittelafrika, and soon began to expand to other African countries like South Africa, Kongo or Somalia. Its expansion outside of German-aligned Africa didn’t commence until the late 80’s (due to few hopes of success internationally and the 1977 Oil Crisis) but once the first smiling chickens of HKH logo started to appear in Australasia and South America it grew wildly, especially in the Co-Prosperity Sphere’s countries, where it rivalled MD&K’S in popularity. Since the end of the Cold War the company has also opened new establishments in Syndicalist countries, though like all the foreign companies it has been forced to adapt its franchises to a mutualist system.
HKH has become one of the symbols of the modern world, with its restaurants being present everywhere from the frozen streets of Vladivostok to the suburbs of Cape Town, truly framing the new, globalized world.
[1]Though Himmler learned to present a cheery and tolerant image and to keep his opinions to himself, documents like his diary and letters to friends and familiars show his virulent racism, antisemitism and ultranationalism, calling blacks “sub-humans” and Jews “hideous weaklings” and proclaiming the necessity of “reclaiming the Fatherland from the red hordes”. HKH has always tried to escape from the shadow of its founder’s ideology, financing anti-racism campaigns and projects and maintaining a strict code of conduct to avoid discrimination of any kind.
A cross over from my Let’s Make A Kaiserreich Superhero universe and definitely not a excuse to get a badly needed plug
Welcome to the International Association: We are a Organisation built after the apperance of certain Super Powered indivuials during the Weltkrieg
International association Profile: the Chosen of Arc
Home: Vendee,France
Real name: Adriana Galtiers
Alignment: Entente/National France
Age:
Powers: Possesses the Super natural armor of Arc (which is almost impenetrable and gives the wearer super strength), Owns the Sword of feu sacré (holy fire) which can cut through practically anything. Super natural Charisma.
Bio:
- Born In the Vendee,Adriana grew up as the youngest of a large family of Devout small farmers who grew just enough to get along.
- Her life however was torn apart by the beginning of the Weltkrieg, Her father, and two older brothers all joined up in the French Army and were sent to the front, where they all died in the Battlefields of Belgium, Verdun and Cialis.
- This increased Adrianne's hatred of the German foe and it grew a desire in her to go fight against them herself.
- She got her chance in the summer of 1919, when while she was doing her farm work, she saw a light near the local river. taking time to check it out,she was struck by lightning.
- Not much is known after that besides Adriana's own recollections: She claim that while she was out the Spirit of Joan Of Arc, who told her to do what she did in the Past and save France from the Invader before granting her the same powers she had been granted wit. The Syndicalists highly dispute this and Ridicule it in Propaganda reports as "mere Fabrications by the Counter Revolutionaries meant to fool the superstitious"
- Whatever happened in those days,what happened next is clear, Adriana appeared at the front with a suit of supernaturally powered Armor and managed to help rally the men with her so called enchanting voice and held the line in combat, just outside Paris.
- Unfortunately for the French, Her arrival was just a bit too late to help save the country, as Mutinies on other parts of the front grew and homegrown Revolution became inevitable the government signed the Treaty of Marseilles. Distraught at failing to fulfill her duty, she went back home...to discover that it was on fire in full grown civil war.
- After a confusing mess of trying to figure out what was going on and who to support, she fell back in with a French military company under the command of one Charles De Gaulle. Adriane then went on to fight for the Nationalists in the French Civil War, notably managing to hold off syndicalist attacks on the harbor of Bordeaux until the army stationed their managed to evacuate in full and escaping a Syndicalist Prison to flee to Marseilles and catch one of the last boats to Algiers before the city fell.
- She truly came to the world stage during the Italian Civil War, where she volunteered for the papal side of the conflict,and was formally recognized by the pope as "the Chosen Of Arc", after helping save the city from a Socialist offensive.
- After that, she dropped off the face of the Earth for years. The Association is currently still trying to find out where she went, only appearing recently.
- She is classified to be by the Association as A mystical unit, she is also regarded as a Fanatic, whose ultimate goal (the reconquest of France in the name of the French Government in Algiers) A conflicts with the goals of the Association's goals of stopping a Global Conflict. However she is also recongized as at least not being a willing tool of the Cult (check File F) in their quest of World Destruction and not wanting to cause too much harm to her homeland upon the invasion, if and when it comes.
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, controversial iraqi writer, particurly notorious for his pan-arabist views and controversial position regarding kurds and other minorities.
His rise to fame started in 1978 when he published his first novel "The Fortified Castle" , an adventure romance novel set during the Ottoman-Axis war, based on his personal experience during the conflict.
The book was harshly criticised for its depiction of the kurds as loyal servants of the ottoman sultane, even if they were first ones to rebel against him, and for his exaltation of the egyptian and iraqi fronts while ignoring the contribute of Persia and Rashidi Arabia.
In 1982 he officially embraced the cause of Pan-Arabism, publishing "The Kabul journals", a sci-fi novel describing a distopian future where Russia, Persia , Turkey and Greece teamed up to destroy Egypt and divided the arab world between each other ( with Iraq directly integrated into Persia)
The book was promply censored in Kurdistan for his description of Kurds as "fake muslims and loyal servants of the west" and forced the iraqi royal government to reaffirm its loyalty to its persian ally.
In 1985 he moved to the sultanate of Egypt, citing "persecution" by the iraqi government as reason.
He has been at the center of another scandal in 2002 when he was accused of having exagerated his military service during the Ottoman-Axis war
Soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army charge Chinese positions near Tsingtao, 1941. The Chinese theatre of the Second Weltkrieg was one of the most brutal of the war, with the IJA inflicting horrific brutalities on Chinese civilians and POWs. Although Japan would overrun Beijing, their failure to take Nanjing in 1942 all but ensured that superior Chinese manpower would win the day, as it did by 1945.
Imperial Chinese Army troops preparing for the Second Battle of Beijing, 1944. By 1944 the Qing army had gone from being a mess of corruption and mismanagement to a truly modern army; it had been trained by three years of brutal combat, equipped by German tanks and guns that matched pound for pound anything the Japanese could throw at them, and led by Generals every bit as competent as their Japanese counterparts. During Operation Sun Tzu this new army would prove its mettle, pushing up from the Yangtze all the way to the Yalu river, and utterly crushing the Kwangtung army under the treads of Donnerschlag-4 tanks. The Second Weltkrieg saw the destruction of Germany's main Asian rival, the Japanese Empire- and yet, in time, the reborn Qing Empire the Germans set up as a counterweight to the Japanese would come to be a greater threat than the Empire of the Rising Sun ever was, and, indeed, the Empire that would finally bring an end to Germany's dominance of the east in the 1960s.
The Xuantong Emperor meets with officers of the American People's Liberation Army to coordinate the war against Japan. Puyi entered the Asian phase of the Second Weltkrieg a figurehead despised by half his people; by the end, he was a national icon cheered by the masses as he rode at the head of the Imperial army parade through the newly liberated Beijing. Historian Rana Mitter declared that "The Germans might have given Puyi back his throne, but the Japanese gave him back his people"; there is a great deal of truth in this argument. During the Second Weltkrieg the Chinese people were united in a mutual war of resistance against the Japanese invader, in a way that they hadn't been since 1911. Puyi's role as a symbol of resistance, combined with the Republicans in Fengtien's collaboration with the Japanese, rehabilitated the monarchy in the eyes of most Chinese; the Qing had regained the Mandate of Heaven, and hold it to this day.
Footage of Denver following Operation: Ragnorok in 1948
Operation: Ragnorok was apart of the largescale Winter Offensive commited by US Forces during the latter half of the 2nd American Civil war with the objective of "liberating the west from Japanese Imperialists and Pacific upstarts who spit on the face of our founding fathers and the american way of life" following the fall of both the AUS and CSA McArthur transferred his troops westward toward PSA held territory which captured most aread west of the Missouri and Red Rivers prior to the offensive MacArrhur's regime was well reconized by most of the world and received a enormous amount of supplies and volunteers from Mittleuropa and Wrangel's reborn Russian Empire MacArthur commited a total of 4.1 million troops (including Pro-MacArrhur Milita's and foreign volunteers) 3,500 tanks, 32,000 arrillery guns (imcluding howitzers and rocket artillery) and 8,000 aircraft while the PSA has much less to work with only having 1.5 million men (not including APCPS Volunteers) 900 tanks 13,000 artillery and 3,200 aircraft the offensive went completely in MacArthurs favor pushing the PSA back to the Rockies and Peros river during the time US Forces indiscriminately firebombed Denver in order to cripple the PSA's war industry and remove there ability to counterattack the bombing included incendiary bombs and napalm which devastated the urban areas the bombing resultes in a total of 155,000 civilian deaths and untold devastation that would effect the PSA's psyche to this very day even though the offensive ended mostly in a military victory for the US it was a major political and propoganda victory for the PSA as MacArthur was widely condemed by most of the world and resulted in Mittleuropa to withdraw it's support for the US that and the Entente and APCPS decision to intervene in the war on behalf of the PSA doomed MacArthur's ambitions to reunify America and with Canadian and New English troops knocking on D.C's doorstep MacArthur decided to call a truce which resulted in the Rocky Mountain Ceasefire and the Treaty of New York thus ending the 2nd American Civil War all together which resulted in the US-PSA border being stationed along the Rockies and the US was forced to give up NYC, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and half of Ohio to New England, while Canada gained Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and Northern Illinois along with massive war reparations to the US which further crippled the US economy even to the point of near collapse 5 years after the war MacArthur was overthrown by Dwight Eisenhower and begins his attempts to modernize america, restore relations with the PSA, pay off the war reparations, and most of all atone for MacArthur's sins
Minor issue, Saddam was an infant during the period where he supposedly fought.
It is with heavy heart that to inform you that famed Swiss actor, Bruno Ganz died, after a long battle with cancer. While having a long and prosperous career his best known role was portraying the last days of Boris Sanikov in the film "Bunkerny" (the bunker in Russian). The performance captured both the humanity and insanity of the infamous Russian dictator. The portrayal was praised by many critics as one of the greatest of all time. The famous Sanikov meltdown scene became a popular internet meme, with even now several videos have been made as tribute to Mr Ganz. He'll be dearly missed.
