Can we think of any? There are and were thousands of examples because for millennia "non-public" religious practices were the rule and not the exception. Most have been lost to us because they were closely held secrets but, prior to the idea of proselytizing becoming widespread, most religions...
My opinion of your work has been clear from the first. I have consistently stated that you are writing a work of fiction, not a time line, and this thread is wrong forum.
My only "help" was to remind people reading and complaining about the nonsense in this time line that you had met the...
Because that would require a small amount of work on his part. Complaining about the actual data because is contradicts the postwar anecdotes and Panzer Idolatry he and too many others have been spoon fed for seven decades is far easier.
To those bitching about the 1950s AARs, unlike the...
You've bent, broke, and ignored many different aspects of reality in this time line, but this polonium "attack" is the most egregious example your disregard. Any pretense towards even a shred of plausibility remaining in this fantasy is now definitely gone.
Leaving aside the the question of...
No. Delaying rearmament doesn't delay the Nuremberg Laws or the implementation of the rest of the Nazis' anti-semitic agenda inside Germany.
Also, about the men you mentioned. Einstein had no involvement in the Manhattan Project beyond signing a letter written by others which alerted FDR to...
I'm in complete agreement with you regarding US torpedoes. Thanks to various institutional and systemic failures they were pretty much utter shit.
However, one of the many problems with the aerial version was that it was being dropped at a faster speed and greater height it had originally been...
Same here. I've even read it too.
Among other places where I've read it, there were a few souvenirs in my grandparent's house purchased in the 1930s by a merchant marine great-uncle which had "Made in Nippon" marked on them.
This.
As with every other WW2 navy, US pre-war training for sub commanders was lacking, especially the emphasis on tactics which, while worked well in theory, proved nearly unworkable in practice. Quite a bit of "dead wood" needed to be weeded out of the CO and PCO ranks once the war began...
It's like the blind leading the blind around here... :rolleyes:
First, this subject was discussed not more than a month ago during a topic about expanding the Russo-Japanese War.
Second, how about a nice big Reality Sandwich(tm)? The Franco-Russian Alliance was aimed at the Triple Alliance...
No it wasn't. As early as 1919 the UK was planning on having to fight Japan. Jellicoe recommended building the Far Eastern fleet base in Singapore for that reason and also recommended basing eight battleships and eight battlecruisers there as a counter to Japan's announced 8+8 building plans...
Archangel - The Congo is not the cash cow you want to think it is and having a larger colonial empire just makes Portugal a larger target.
In the OTL, Portugal's empire was saved by the outbreak of WW1 and nothing else. If that war had been delayed by only a few years, the plans made by...
Nice try. :rolleyes:
I always point out that each forum on this site has it's own standards. Steampunk tanks fit quite nicely in the Writer's, ASB, and Books and Media fora and, without substantial PODs which are absent here, don't fit at all on the Before 1900 forum.
Each forum has it's own...
You do realize I was attempting to explain the complicated relationship between steam pressure and horsepower to the engineering illiterates in this thread? And, if I used small numbers, there would be a better chance of getting that idea across?
For Christ's sake... A fucking metric Nazi...
