  1. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    As Hitler was already issuing orders for everything to be destroyed in the spring of 1945 I doubt the bombs would affect Hitler in the slightest, they would fit right in with his vision of Gotterdammerung. The difference with Japan was that in the summer of 1945 their strategy rested on the idea...

  2. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    Yes but they have been extremely hostile to Japan in the Pacific. I mean this is a plain bizarre and unworkable idea, why jump through hoops to pretend otherwise?

  3. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    Except that Japan and the USA had been at odds for most of the latter part of the 1930s, the Japanese suddenly deciding to join the Allies is a bizarre concept.

  4. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    But since they had neither the question remains and neither of these items would come remotely close to funding a carrier program, certainly not in 1934.

  5. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    Well since the former wasn't funded via the Kriegsmarine I imagine any money saved would still be spent on propaganda activities, assuming it didn't turn into just anothet way to syphon money into party funds. As for the latter pretty much every navy had those during the period.

  6. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    Unless its a timeline where you've magically fixed the German economy the question is as @Astrodragon posed, what are they giving up to build carriers? In 1934 the Kriegsmarine is in its infancy and the Reich is all but broke, what programs are being cancelled so money can be spent on this...

  7. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    You do understand that Wolverine was something built to support an existing infrastructure of carriers and was produced by a nation that had an abundance of resources? A Kriegsmarine carrier force is just shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic, it is not going to affect the war, except possibly...

  8. What if Japan attacked the Dutch East Indies in 1936?

    Right because the British are stupid enough to trust that they won't change their mind and again their mere presence in the DEI is threat to Singapore and Malaya. This on the level of one 10 year old poking another with a ruler and declaring 'see I'm not touching you' and then being surprised...

  9. What if Japan attacked the Dutch East Indies in 1936?

    Other thing to remember with the DEI is that the British have colony on Borneo, which IOTL was a major Japanese objective because of the oilfields, I can't see how they could go round it in 1936, even if they wanted to.

  10. What if Japan attacked the Dutch East Indies in 1936?

    Catastrophic fail because given the geography there is no way the British can afford to allow the occupation of the DEI and the RN would be able to overpower the IJN. Also attacking the DEi without already occupying Indochina is going to be a challenge. Overall this is guaranteed to provoke...

  11. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    Well if you mean that with a few years and no interruptions German industry might have been able to produce the equipment to restore them, then yes. If you mean they could have actually made them productive during the war then I really don't see it.

  12. AHC: A Soviet/Weimar German Alliance in an Alt-WWII

    And I am saying they will be different and the German forces will be weaker, because no one else bar Hitler is willing to bankrupt the country rearming.

  13. AHC: A Soviet/Weimar German Alliance in an Alt-WWII

    No, you can rule out the German military being as strong as OTL, unless you are suggesting the Weimar government will also bankrupt the country paying for rearmament?

  14. AHC: A Soviet/Weimar German Alliance in an Alt-WWII

    But you are assuming that the Germans will still invest heavily in the Panzer divisions and the issue is whatever way you cut it the armed forces of Germany are going to be weaker than OTL without some Hitler analogue pouring 20% of GDP into rearmament. The Germans kept defaulting on payments to...

  15. AHC: A Soviet/Weimar German Alliance in an Alt-WWII

    Well allowing that the Great Depression still happens to minimize changes and Weimar stumbles through then the German armed forces are going to be far weaker than OTL since I can't see any Weimar government spending the percentage of GDP Hitler did on rearmament, nor are they likely to gamble so...

  16. What would their relations with the Malagasy be like if Jews formed a large minority in Madagascar?

    So we can rest assured they would not have been settled in the highlands, you must remember the point of the Madagascar Plan was to just to have the Jews die off by 'natural causes' in a place where no one would pay attention.

  17. What would their relations with the Malagasy be like if Jews formed a large minority in Madagascar?

    I would expect large scale emigration, given that the Jews would have been shipped there at gunpoint and the survivors would have been living in dismal conditions.

  18. King Charles Gay?

    Little impact as I expect as it will be firmly kept under wraps and he will still be expected to marry. If he isn't prepared to toe the line then he might have to step aside and do not think there would be that much sympathy in the 1980s.

  19. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    It is indeed, supposed to symbolize the way the crash separated the two.

  20. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    So in the absence of any response of any sort from Sealion Press after several months it looks like I am pressing ahead with self-publishing on Kindle. To that end I thought I would share my shot at some cover art and see what people think of it, and no I have never been chairman of the JCS:
