Why Germany Won- Timeline of the Third Reich 1933-2010

[David bar Elias]

I'm wondering if the universe of In the Presence of Mine Enemies is the same as Turtledove's short story The Last Article--which had Field Marshall Model leading the Germans into New Dehli, and then crushing a non-violent resistance campaign led by Ghandi and Nehru. It took place c.1947 or '48 (can't remember)....and it specifically mentioned Britain surrendering in 1941 (probably simply means the last organized resistance that held on in north England and Scotland, I suppose).

It also mentioned a US-German proxy war in sub-Saharan Africa between the Free and Vichy French, and Japan's aquisition of Siberia and the rest of China.

It certainly would be useful background info to that novel, if it's true...

To the best of my knowledge they are 2 different universes. In IPME the Nazis left Asia-save Russia-to Japan. The Nazis conquered Europe,the Middle East and Africa and then in the 1970's moved on North and South America.

You know, I'm still astonished why so many people are fascinated by naziwanks.

 

[Kurt_Steiner]

Perhaps because there are no worse baddies, so to speak?

For the same reason why AH is fascinating in general: It would be something different. And you can bet that the Nazis would have done lunatic things if they had won. Bad things mostly, but radical different to OTL.

Personally I'm more interested in the CSA ones because they had a better shot at winning . But its probably related to people slowing down to watch a traffic accident-the desire to see how bad bad can get.

 

[Max Sinister]

Yep, that's an explanation.

And I answered it. Butterflies more or less. Pretend there was a scandal in the Deomcratic Party. If Wilkie can change that easily, Byrd could the same thing.

The Democrats and Republicans are too similar in my timeline, at least after World War Two.

Byrd was a seasoned politician. Republicans were not well liked in the South for much of his life. Willkie had no serious political experience when he sought the White House.

 

[Bavarian Raven]

...the reason so many are interested in world war two, is that how close the allies came to loosing...and then thinking, "What would have happened if we had lost?"

 

[Wendell]

There are also several different ways in which one could take a Nazi victory TL.

Well, the map in IPME mentions the Reich in India, so the two universes would fit together.

However, Turtledove has refused to confirm or deny if they are, in fact, in the same universe.
