What do you think, guys, would this map of democratic federal Germany look better ?
That's it. I really can't understand why people keep getting this mental image that Valkyrie success leads to a crypto-Nazi or para-fascist German regime for the ages, and sincerely I have got fed up and annoyed as Hell at people hijacking the thread to harp on the point, which has been debated to death anyway. I cannot but think that a lot of it comes from bad political bias, or willful ignorance of the basic political differences between a nazist, a fascist, an authoritarian conservative/nationalist, and a democratic conservative/nationalist.
The Soviets, apart from their breakthrough in Romania, which puts Moldavia, Wallachia, Bulgaria, Vardar Macedonia, and Serbia under their thumb, are stalemated on the Summer 1944 frontlines, because the Valkurie government, seeing a possibility to achieve peace with the A-A, throws every military resources it has left on the Eastern front. This makes them able to resist the Soviets on the Neman-Narew-Vistula-Carpathians-Sava-Drina line,
Yep, this is very true. The issue is, would Greater Croatia need unwilling Slovenia in order to be an effective anti-Communist bulwark in the Balkans, to the point that the Western powers would exercise strong pressure to keep "West Yugoslavia" toghether, or would they find two satellites more beneficial ?
