well, there is the question to consider if Lummitsch founded the Technische Nothilfe ittl. it would certainly have had a very different beginning ittl and of course, not been taken over by the nazis. though the question is if it would have been founded in a world where germany is unconstrained...

The Catholic Curch might raise a stink, depending on who is Pope atm, but excomunication? no, spousal conversion upon royal marriages has been a thing for centuries and the hierarchy in rome knows when not to shoot itself in the foot over this issue. As for the Lutheran Church, Louis, like all...

i would say they most definatly are. there was less ill feeling in the us over wwI ttl, so i imagine many of them went back to openly practicing their language and culture again as a big f*** you to the wilson administration and even more after the revolution in the 20's and germany's...

Ah, but Theodor is still convinced that he will be Emperor of the Romans once the smoke clears, so he really is just making them vassals to himself, which is good for him if everything turns out as he wants, which it won't, but he's too biased by his own ego to think about that yet.

I agree that the First Lord and the Sealords will get confirmation as to the german intentions with their fleet reorganisation, but the brown trousers will be scarce in evidence i think, because the brits have been sitting in optimum range of the same missiles that flattened japan for years now...

All depends on the weight of the warheads and where exactly they're targeted. These are early sub-launched missiles, presumably much smaller than the rockets von Braun and his buddies were flinging at Japanese cities, with the corresponding smaller warheads. City annihilation in ttl WW2 was a...

Oh, i think Jost is in for something of a pleasant surprise, if that is who i think it is.

Ahh Kat, i think Gunther will be having words with you when he gets back:biggrin:

I really hope someone in the higher reaches of the OKW remembers the Herero Revolt and what happened to most of their nice european cavalry horses... and that what they really need is area control, for which 1 regiment is barely a drop in the bucket. There's a reason why Mounted Riflemen(like...

"Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt..." , also thesiswriting induced tiredness is doing funny things to my thoughtprocess

why do i suddenly have the image of thorwald living the quiet life somewhere in the siberian tundra in my head?:rolleyes: or maybe that's just my brain trying to cope with the fact that @Peabody-Martini pulling a Captain Pryce with Thorwald is far too obvious to be plausible:pensive:

The latter i can agree with, but this? As a former german "Gebirgsjäger" myself, and knowing something of the subject, this to me is something of a paradoxon, alpine troops are generally regarded as elite light infantry yes, but are not as a matter of course trained for air cavalry/ air assault...

S7 is education and training. though i have the suspicion that @Peabody-Martini meant to write S3 since think i remember Hans being appointed operations officer.

well, there's a reason why the kirov-class was built. those behemonths like rheinland can lug around a shit ton of missiles if you reduce the number of turrets. and once the smaller guided aa missiles come along... yeah the era of battleship supremacy might be over, but there always will be a...

eh, unlikely. he gets to play with rockets on the state's dime, unless the german government shut down their rocket research, i don't see him defecting.
