    The Possibility of a Change in British Government during WW2

    Regardless I would still like to ask about and brainstorm any potential for changes of government in wartime Britain, seeing as I haven’t found any previous posts discussing that topic.

    WI: just after D-Day, Patton secretly agrees to work as a spy for Germany

    How much damage could he cause to the Allied war effort? By this point the war was obviously lost for the Axis, but what would happen in this scenario?

    AHC: Better Strategy on the Western Front? [WWII]

    Lately I've been reading about military theories and strategists like Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Jomini, Sherman, and so on, and I'd like to hear what the Allies could have done different or better? Whether when WWII started, or after Britain was ejected out of mainland Europe, D-Day, etc...
  4. WI: April 1944 Anvil

    What if the Allies could pull an April 1944 Anvil ? What would be the implications for a) D-Day, b) The subsequent campaign in NWE c) The Italian Campaign? Lets assume that there is enough amphibious capacity (No Anzio, MacArthur gets fewer landing craft, earlier turning point in the...

    "Project Normandy:" Failed D-Day Invasion Story Idea

    I've been thinking about this idea for a while, and I have a rough timeline created already with the goal to eventually turn it into a novel/book/thing using an epistolary narrative (World of Laughter, World of Tears or The Ides of March for example. Project Normandy is just the working title...
  6. Operation Sea Lion fails - is a counter-invasion of France now possible?

    That's right, it's everyone's favourite sea mammal - but the topic of this thread is not about how Sea Lion would go if launched (it would fail miserably), but rather its aftermath. Namely, after Sea Lion ends in a British victory and the German forces are repulsed/surrounded and captured, then...
  7. AHC: The most successful Overlord possible.

    So, I've seen plenty of threads over the years about making Operation Overlord a failure, and the consequences from that. Your challenge is to do the opposite and figure out how to make Overlord as successful as it can possibly be, with a POD no further back than 6 June 1943.

    Best German General for Normandy/Atlantik Wall Defenses?

    Who do you think should have commanded the German forces garrisoning and deployed in Normandy? I see a lot of people say Rommel could have done better if he had full control than Hitler but what about other generals like Walter Model or Kesselring who are considered some of the best commanders...
  9. A later end to WWII in Europe?

    In our TL, the military surrender of Germany was signed on 7-8 May of 1945. But what if things had been a little different? What if the war had lasted a couple months more? What must happen differently for Germany to resist the advance of the allies on two different fronts? Keep in mind that...
  10. WI: The Nazis learn where D-Day will happen?

    What would have happened if the Allies had failed to deceive the Nazis as to the location of the invasion of Europe? Would the Nazis be able to beat back the invasion or would it have been futile?
  11. Kriegmarine sorties against invasion of France?

    The idea of the Germans sending the remains of their small surface fleet against an invasion of France is admittedly far-fetched at the first glance, but when given over to closer examination is admittedly a reasonably plausible idea for the Nazis to think up (Very ambitious, suicidal and...
