Next update will be released no later [and probably on the day of] Monday 5/06/2024 by 11:59pm. The big chunk I've been fiddling with is done, now just need to add two sections then it's done.
Any chance the Allied war criminals will be tried too?
Or maybe a more effective UN post-war?
There might be one or two that get the treatment, but will be similar to OTL. The UN will be similar to OTL. NATO will be larger and stronger though. And there will probably be a PATO [Pacific Alliance Treaty Organization] to counter communism in SE Asia/East Asia and the Pacific.
Bucharest Pact? Intresting spin from OTL. Very interested in seeing this timeliness post war World.
Does that mean we won't see Zhukov on the eastern front kicking Axis ass?
I think a post war, war crimes trial would be fitting in Linz. The reason Nuremberg was chosen as the site in OTLA was because it was considered a Nazi stronghold were they held there annual rallies, Linz would be that place for the Sozinats. Though I can imagine the trial will be smaller then Nuremberg Trials since, obviously Austria is smaller and has less resources to throw at extermination.
Just thought of this as a intresting story to have, maybe you can have some sort of Eichmann kidnapping and trial in the sixties like in OTL but instead of the jews bagging him back to Israel it's Yugoslavia bringing him to Belgrade since yugoslavian is going to feel alot for death and destruction in the TL like what Poland saw OTL.
Anyways great work mate in constructing this World, its very much keeping me intrested in its development 👍 i await the chapter as patiently as one can.
I've wondered what I'll do once I finish the books for Der Kampf. As of now there are six planned. And they end mid-1940s. Crazy to think I'm already done with a third of it [1 book awaiting publication and another awaiting to be edited]. Might do an in-depth timeline in the style of a history book, or a TLIAW or something else, not sure. Blue Skies in Camelot is a huge influence in terms of how to write a timeline so that's the ideal path I would like to take.
I will say that I hope to write a book set in 1960s Austria at the height of the Cold War that'll include, among other things, a Democratic Ronald Reagan as the disgruntled Ambassador to Austria, a divided Austrian government clogged with infighting dealing with a recession all the while a neo-Sozinat cell tries to murder the chancellor. The book's WIP is '
Iron Chancellor'
Zhukov might there for a bit, but I'm thinking Sverdlov will want Zhukov far from the Russian heartland due to his 'association' with Stalin. Sverdlov's paranoia is going to be really bad from here on out. Another way to 'nerf' the USSR in the leadup to WW2.
Possibly. I'm not even a 100% sure there will even be a Yugoslavia post-war. It'll be so devastated with some being pro-Axis, others pro-Allied, and even others pro-neutral or pro-Comintern that it might simply to wipe the slate clean and create smaller countries in it for regional stability.
I appreciate it! glad I've kept the world interesting and engaging.
Speakign of war crimes tribunals, what could be interesting could be TTL's Italian war crimes tribunals as there wasn't exactly an Italian equivalent to Nuremberg or the Tokyo Tribunal in our timeline.
There will be one for the Italians for sure. Linz Trials for the Sozinats, Tokyo Trials for the Japanese, perhaps the Rome Trials for the Italians unless another city in Italy is more important to Italian fascism.
I know this is way too early but what would it look like In a " Austrian Victory timeline" set in TTL?
it's too small to be a cold War type enemy for the west but too large to just stay together yet small enought it just might survive
Hmm. I think I once jokingly mentioned a Wolfenstein-type Austrian victory where they use Judeo-Serbian science to create superweapons but that was years ago I believe. An Austrian victory would be survival with some regional gains and influence. With a stronger Allied Nations and still aggressive USSR, that'll be very hard to do w/o other PoDs to aid them. Though there will be armchair generals or neo-Sozinats in-universe who will say 'Austria could have won if
this or
that happened.'
