  1. Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    There isn't a single answer to this question. If the collapse is between August-October of 1941 the result if very different than if it after the Japanese have attacked the UK & U.S. Same goes for later collapses and on how badly the Soviets actually crumple.

    There were 110,000 Japanese-American on the Hawaiian Islands during WW II. 320 Japanese-American citizens were interned across the Islands, with an additional 800 moved to the mainland. there were, to be very clear, a small percentage of Japanese-Americans who were, in fact, working against the...

  4. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    Oh, I never bought Gobbel’s BS (he was the first one to rollout the 200k figure shortly after the attacks). The simple truth remains that no one really knows, with absolute certainty, how many deaths actually occurred. Too many variables. No one knows who was actually there (if someone died and...

  5. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    Even with a parachute you can only slow down the bomb to a certain point. The Lincoln, on the other hand, had performance closer to the Silverplates, with a top speed to 310mph and a ceiling of 30,000 feet. That would make it marginal, at best, but far better than the slower, far lower...

  9. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    This hits at a VERY important issue. The global Nuclear Taboo, which has undoubtedly prevented at least one, possibly more post 1945 uses of the "Specials" was, in large part, thanks to the perception of what the Bomb did in Japan as the actual frank effects. Hit the Reich and Hitler tells the...

  10. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    This proceeds for a series of false assumptions. 1. No one really understood the implications of radioactive fallout in 1945*. U.S. invasions planning for Japan anticipated using, after a third military high value/population center strike with a Bomb, to use up to SEVEN weapons in what amounted...

  18. What if the USSR and Eastern Europe accepted the Marshall plan?

    The thread was not locked because he is the OP. The OP can always restart their own thread, however simply digging it out of the grave and leaving to decay on the surface is, as you note, rude to the point of trolling behavior.
