Germany get no new colonies in Africa and most likely will loose some or all of them. Keeping German East Africa is probably out because of the British idea of a Cape to Cairo swath, evidenced by Rhodes idea of a railroad from Cairo to the Cape. They might however have a chance at Southwest...

The Gladius or Seax works for both a quick thrust, parrying, and has at least one edge or two for a cutting/slicing motion. Gives you more options.

I would wonder if Marie might actually have a Seax. Seax Or a Gladius Iberius, sword of the Legion. Gladius

"Opening Salvo". The Battle between the USS Trenton and the IJNMS Chitose.

"Auf Safari". Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and the Integration of the German Military post WW1 under the Augustus Lang government.

"Seelowe", Field Marshal Tilo Schmidts remaking of the See Battalions Special Forces.

Having a solid nose Sterling for Anti shipping/Anti Submarine work in the Far East might be interesting. Something like a Big Brother to the B25's that were doing that. Imagine having some Australians flying them and trying to compete with the US aircraft or even flying together in a. 1 2...

One thing noted through out the war was the fact that once captured the Japanese had no problems talking with the US interrogators. Civilian or Military would answer questions truthfully and to the best of what they knew explain things. The civilian torpedo experts might just tell how they...

Two or 4 20mm Hispanos also does good for an attack on a surfaced Uboat. If you get some hits on the ballast tanks, especially from one side, you cause both trim problems and problems with diving and surfacing the boat. Keeping the crew's heads down if they start having AA guns onboard also...

Sicily means you can close Taranto as a major port forcing the Regia Marina to move their ships up into the Adriatic farther north up to Venice even and make Naples being a worse port to base ships on the western side of Italy and forcing them to move ships up to Genoa and La Spezia. This...

Take Sicily first, then you can get Sardinia. Depending on what happens after that you go for Mainland Italy, Corsica, or more permanent supply runs to Tito.

I have been wondering if her sister Anna would turn out to be "Myrtle the fertile Turtle", that would be interesting.

All roads to a settlement in China run through the US and even the isolationists in the US supported helping the Chinese over the Japanese.

Just giving up on China won't work and the Emperor was too invested by the Army's propaganda in the China fight because of their slanted briefings to him, yes and somewhat the Navy's also. You would need something to happen way back in 37 or 38 to the IJA to make them want to have peace in...

The biggest thing protecting the US BB's is the fact they don't have the escorts and support vessels for them to make any kind of raid, attack, or show of force of some kind. No one is going to propose sending any of them out any where close to the IJN without proper support.
