Hmm, minor idea based on the idea of Germany taking the UKs place in cultural relations to America, I got two ideas:

The Warhammer games (mainly 40k) being made in Germany and having more of a Prussian influence as a result

ASOIAF and Game of Thrones being influenced more by a German conflict like the Thirty Years War rather than an English one.
 
This is for @Jett-Power for having the Most comments in the OG TL191 thread
Billy Don’t Be A Hero”
The Famous “Billy Don’t be a hero” is pop British song that first premieres in Britain 1982, which resulting with wild success that has become the first hit by London Laces that launch them to popularity in British music history.

This song told story about a Union soldier name Billy during the War of Secession who had a fiancé that don’t want him to go to fight in the south. He didn’t listen to her and then left with his cavalry battalion that soon got overran by southerners somewhere in Virginia. Soon the US commander ask for a volunteer to get some reinforcement against Rebs fire. Billy volunteer forgetting his soon to be wife promised and off to get more Yankee troops that results with him being dead by Confederate fire and soon his fiancé got the letter about his. “Bravery” dying like a hero. The fiancée seemingly heartbroken throw the letter away.


This song soon arrive months later in the United States just recently started the Controversial intervention in Venezuela as well as the Crackdown of the South by the US military during the early 80s. Many think this song is associated with the Venezuela war that has many anti-war protests about what they think as “Unjust War that what Featherstone will do if he still around” by anonymous activists said. Some people think that it was just about the War of Secession that followed young American men dying by Confederate hands as they are wearing Union some uniforms as well as setting being in some Virginian town instead of the jungle wilderness of Venezuela with Indigenous insurgence nor Modern Georgian streets that filled with Pro-Secession CSA militia.

Whatever what do you think of it there’s no denying this song have a massive impact by both UK and especially US culture

Titanic1943.jpg

Picture of the 1943 Confederate film: Titanic.
Based on the 1912 Titanic tragedy, the movie was used to boost morale by villainizing the United States and was in production during Operation Blackbeard and was released in 1943. The film was about an American who had purposefully sunk the Titanic and blamed it on the Confederacy. The film's message was that should the USA annex the CSA; the nation would sink harder than the Titanic.
Although the film had a brief theatrical run in parts of Confederate-occupied Haiti starting in November 1943, it was not shown within the CSA by order of Saul Goldman, who feared that it would weaken the Confederate citizenry's morale instead of improving it, as heavy American bombing raids made a film depicting mass panic and death unappealing. Goldman later banned the film's playing entirely and did not have a second run.
 
Wonder how Cartman dressing up as Featherston would fly in tl-191 or, better yet, what Cartman's name would be in tl-191 (ok, Cartman's name being similar to an otl WW2 German pilot: Erich Hartmann was a coincidence, but still).
Adding to this.

Picture of Eric Cartman, Confederate States pilot in the Second Great War.

It was a common misconception that the character of Erich Hartmann in the German show: South Park (1997-present) was named after Cartman [1]. However, in actuality, the character was named after a friend of the creators of South Park, Max Hartman [2].

Pyro and the Soldier are unchanged

The Engineer has a Jersey Accent.

The Spy is French Canadian rather than Parisian.

The Heavy is German

The Scout talks like a California surfer dude.

The Sniper is Russian

The Egineer is a Black Mexican cyclops rather than a Scottish one

And the Doctor is Japanese.
Californian Scout sounds scary. I kinda see Medic being Confederate, tbh.

Controversial film Braveheart was accused of promoting Stolen Valor mythisism in the skein of Scotland's rebellion against the British.

The quote "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" remains a rallying cry for many southern politicians.

Attempts to 'reclaim' it in the North have not gone well.

I was referencing this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwCiRao53J1y_gqJJOH6Rcgpb-vaW9wF0.

Also good to know that Braveheart is still criticized, albeit for the wrong reasons. I would like to see how The Patriot would be in tl-191.

For one thing, it wouldn’t take place in South Carolina given the circumstances

Maybe it would probably to rehabilitate the South's image after the Second Great War.

The film Patriot received a positive reception from critics but was lambasted by reviewers. It was accused of attempting to whitewash the South by showing a pro-abolitionist southern plantationer as the protagonist and hero of the story. Many founding fathers, themselves southerners, were talked about favorably. Americans compare the film and others like it to propaganda films. To rehabilitate the southerner as a civil brother. The role of the French was diminished, the British villanized, and the character Friedrich Wilhelm enjoyed a larger-than-life portrayal fighting with and for the Revolutionary army.

In the South, Confederates regard the film as pro-American/anti-Confederate. It villanizes their former allies, promotes the role of Germany in resisting British oppression, shows a former slave earning the respect and equal to the whites. Slavery, while not said to be bad, is not encouraged. Critics say the film tries to 'Americanize' the southern rebellion.

The film has been used by Birth of A Nation conspiracists who say the southern states were attempting their own rebellion away from the northern states during the Revolution.


TL;DR: The Patriot is critically acclaimed, but despised by Americans and Confederates for 'vilifying' or 'revising' their sides. Opposite sides of the same coin.


Also included a new idea, that the southern independence movement didn't begin with the Civil War, but earlier during the revolution but the south was bullied into fighting the northerner's war. Ooh, new idea, Washington's image is 'rehabilitated' as a Virginian who didn't want to fight the revolution against his British heroes, but when the role was thrust on him he could not refuse. Basically Lee.

Excuse me, what?! Anyways curious to see TL-191 Passion of the Christ, mainly because I want to know that world's South Park take on it.
