Could we see an earlier war on the mob here? Perhaps Truman's old patron Jim Pendergast can be turned and spill his guts about machines in both parties connections to Costa Nostra.
Yeah McCarran signing his name to that and going to the mattresses over it confused me a bit too. Morse-Cooper was definitely a more mainstream choice for both parties at that time
This is from OTL, actually, unless I've grossly misinterpreted the language. Such can happen with law.The first authorizes the president to require businesses to accept and prioritize contracts for materials deemed necessary for national defense, regardless of a loss incurred on business.
I will need to research that and get back to you.What happened to Arthur Nebe? Despite his enrollment in the esastgruppen he had sheltered several jews on staff, and hidden several Valkyrie plotters. Beck would have created an Algerian style military regime, on the road to a horthy style Regent in the name of the crown prince.
Don't worry, we're already close to that. Senator Kefauver is just waiting to begin his committee hearing.Could we see an earlier war on the mob here? Perhaps Truman's old patron Jim Pendergast can be turned and spill his guts about machines in both parties connections to Costa Nostra.
Who would have expected the Chinese to be the main Cold War enemy here?I’m really liking this TL’s China focus
I imagine that the Venona Intercepts would still occurred, as that dated to 1943, and US had gotten into the Soviet Codes from their incredibly sloppy re-use of one time pads with encryption.hat did raise a few eyebrows, but without any proof of anything,
That would be the best bet. They got lucky and fled the US before any trials, but nothing is keeping them from the punishment of a bullet.I imagine that the Venona Intercepts would still occurred, as that dated to 1943, and US had gotten into the Soviet Codes from their incredibly sloppy re-use of one time pads with encryption.
So was very, very secret, and OTL it did ID the Rosenbergs, Fuchs, Alger Hiss and the Cambridge Five.
However, so secret these were, could not be used in a court of law.
So what in this timeline?
Wild Bill has the Rosenbergs whacked when out of country, disguised as a petty robbery gone bad.
It was founded in 1946 OTL, and I imagine it's here too. The U.S. will have to be careful with nativist groups moreso than communist groups.What will happen with the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (aka Escuela de las Américas)?
I'd imagine HK and Macau would continue to be ruled by their colonial masters way past their OTL handover dates?Cantonese Recognize British and Portuguese Rule over Hong Kong and Macau, October 1949.
They will try to.I'd imagine HK and Macau would continue to be ruled by their colonial masters way past their OTL handover dates?
So in TTL we will see the US intervention on Paraguay (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_Civil_War_(1947)) as OTL?It was founded in 1946 OTL, and I imagine it's here too. The U.S. will have to be careful with nativist groups moreso than communist groups.
No wonder why I feel like I've missed something. Let me draft something after some research.So in TTL we will see the US intervention on Paraguay (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_Civil_War_(1947)) as OTL?
Maybe alternative interventions against El Ochenio in Peru (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_A._Odría) or against La Violencia in Colombia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Violencia)?
How POTUS Wallace see Peron?
