Yes, but ITTL, the Germans have a larger force to do it with and there are of course the immense butterflies which have had a year to flap their wings now . German forces are also stronger in general as there is only one front.
Agreed. The world as it is at the current stage of your TL, is one of the best "setups" for a Nazi vs West Cold War TL.It would be interesting to see were this TL leads now.
It is interesting how you managed to exchange one Holocaust for another, if you don't mind this rather crass way of putting it. At least this is no half-assed way of wriggling out of the results of German National Socialist genocidal leanings that were, as we all know, a mainstay of German thought and policy at that time.
I am interested to see where you are heading, too. I can also see a triangle cold war with the "Reds" more or less between a rock and a hard place. Provided the US-led bloc does not suffer a radical socialist turnaround, that is.
Very interesting and the usual high quality of your TLs. I liked how you used the incremental effect of several pro-Axis butterflies to make an Axis victory plausible. The Italian-Turkish war was a nice touch.
I only have some quibbles with the map.
First, Finland ought to get *all* of Karelia, not just the bits it lost in 1939, as well as the Murmansk Oblast. Shutting the Russians off Murmansk considerably strengthens the security of the Axis in the Atlantic.
Second, Italy ought to be restored the full amount of the Nice and Savoy provinces that it ceded in 1860, which is considerably more than what it is shown in the map. Anything less than the totality of Nice, Savoy, Corscia, and Tunisia is irrealistic, esp. since ITTL fascist Italy made a rather more valuable contribute to Axis' fortunes than IOTL.
Third, the map does not show Greek and Bulgarian gains in Thrace and the coast of Anatolia.
Fourth, why are Hitler, Mussolini, and Petain resettling European Jews in such a valuable and close to Europe piece of land like Algeria ? It does not make much sense, I expect them to earmark that region for "Aryan" settlers, and at the time, Algeria was deemed a part of French mainland. If Madagascar has not enough space and resources to settle all European Jews, there are other pieces of the French colonial empire, that are more suitably remote and worthless, such as French West Africa. I suggest you to substitute Algaria with Mauritania, Senegal, and/or Mali.
Apart from this, well done. You have laid the basis of a nifty three-way Cold War, between the Anglosphere liberal democracies, the Sino-Soviet Communist bloc, and fascist continental Europe. As expected, an early Nazi victory counterintuitively saves the Jews, but dooms the Slavs.
And about Murmansk, the Nazis have no way to enforce it and its full with Russians.
As for Algeria, I'll edit that to the Belgian Congo which should fall into Germany's lap as there is no more Belgium right? I might look at Mali and Mauritania too.
