The POD is the Soviet conquest of Poland during the Russian Civil War. Which means that Hitler's border dispute is with the USSR. In June 1939, Hitler launches Operation Barbarossa. Britian and France have no treaties that obligate them to defend the Soviet Union but they observe the impact of the German tank cops and add many more tanks. In June of 1940, when Hitler invades France, the Anglo French forces hold gack the German forces. In July, a frustrated Hitler launches a massive unrestricted submarine warfare campaign in an attempt to strangle his Western Front enemies. German subs attack French and British ship in American ports. In September, after the accidental sinking of the Staten Island Ferry, Congress declares war. In October 1941, as American troops pour in, Mussolini see which way the wind is blowing and declares war on Germany. Italy launches a massive attack on Austria. In March of 1942, a month after VE Day, the United Nations is organized, with the US, Britian, France, Italy, the USSR and China getting permanent seats on the Security Council. The war time alliance falls apart. Soviet occupied East Germany, Czechoslavika, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria join thier Moscow based masters in the Prague Pact. South Germany, Turkey. Greece, Yugoslavia, Spain and Portugal join in alliance with Italy. While the US, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, West Germany, France and the Untied Kingdom join NATO. I think both the facisists and the democrats would have joined toghehter in the Korean War. As someone who thinks of AH as way to find happy endings, I hoped that Diem would rather have Italy and its allies defend South Vietnam than the United States.
