Active involvement from the British and possibly the French is going to very quickly tilt the balance in the favour of the Republicans. I don’t know if by 1937, the government was already too far down the wrong path to get British and French support.
Let’s just say for the sake of it that...
Just wanted to say Good luck with the TL, it’s nice to see a modern Japanese timeline. I was disappointed to read Ozawa is gone; he would make a good despot! Yukio Edano as the next Deputy Prime Minister and Yoshito Sengoku back as Chief Cabinet Secretary running the show? Or will Sengoku stay...
Depending on the severity of the situation and the timeline this “Second Korean War” is going to put defence back to the top of the political agenda. At the very least, you are going to have potential clashes between JMSDF and North Korean forces especially if Japan is pressured to do everything...
I would expect Paris to be aflame. Some Italian cities along with Paris were saved from total annihilation by German units not fighting within them. If Heydrich is in charge of France, perhaps the SS are tasked to blow up Paris or a SS division remains in Paris to slow the Allied advance...
For him to survive he would have to take his personal security seriously. If he had been more aware and not stood up to fire back against his RL attackers he would have survived the attack. Thus to stop Heydrich getting killed by the resistance or some OSS agents in France, he would need to...
If this incident did happen, something similar to the plot to kidnap a British solider in the UK perhaps. Then I think it would be gloves off time for the SAS. I am not suggesting they are been held back however, skinning a British soldier alive? On the internet? Any political leader, which...
Pure Coincidence, I ensure you FlyingDutchman. As I said in the initial post, I posted this TL after reading it in the book…
Would Juins success enhance the image of the Free French? A force up until Italy at least considered poorly trained by some Allied Generals.
I have been reading Matthew Parker’s “Monte Cassino”, today and I came across the section devoted to the first battle of Monte Cassino. It describes the "right hook" attack towards Monte Cassino by the French Expeditionary Corps, under General Alphonse Juin and speculates on whether supporting...
My fault on the propaganda part Bill. However in regard to Stalin, I was under the impression he was obsessed with Hitler’s life and finding out what made him tick (like many other people). Having his wife / Girlfriend within easy access (If the marriage does indeed take place), obviously would...
Wasn’t Stalin obsessed with Hitler? And after the war tried to learn everything about his life and personality? If so Eva Braun/ Hitler would certainly be a major catch. What of propaganda value after the war?
Quicker and more decisive action by the state, the central bank and finance ministry waited years. They were too slow in recapitalizing the banks (look at Sweden in the 1990s) and perhaps you might want to look into avoiding deflation. There are lots of excellent sources out there especially...
Wouldn’t it be more realistic for this to be around 1941 not 1946? Have the Danish Ambassador to the US; hand over the territories permanently perhaps as part of a TL with a Nazi Victory or at least a remaining occupied Denmark. Selling land seems to have a bit of resistance in the thread...
