So deeper in Russia, and facing stronger ally forces in Normandy and Southern France and extra front in Greece. Bagration coming up, even more brutal fight perhaps for the Soviet Union and Germany on the Eastern front. The Soviet Union may not be first to Berlin, If so I hope the Western Allies...

The Roman army at a price has really won its goals, fighting through the Zargos mountains does not sound like a good idea. Iskander needs to go on or loose his attempt at the throne, and most likely die. Mesopotamia has been broken, the borders will be advanced, the remaining Muslim population...

Is there not also the issue a lot of the German pilots shot down and survived are more likely to remain prisoners of the Allies? No release of prisoners held by the French after the capitulation.

I'm caught up on this, a worthy timeline indeed. Following the North Africa campaign on this map. https://www.britannica.com/event/North-Africa-campaigns

It does not seem likely that taking more of Greece will lead to more major bomber bases in the area. The invasion of Europe from Britain is soon, that is where the resources will flow. Certainly emergency airfields further north are likely for damaged bombers returning from a raid.

They were probably going to arrive on the beach first thing in the morning and dig a bunch of holes in the sand.

That helmet will not last long in any kind of trench warfare, pretty much screams shoot me.

And they fooled you as well.

Good to see you back, and this timeline of course. Of course it not finished yet, we do need to see the ultimate battle when the U.K./France take out the Nazi moon base.

You hate Fire Ants, not a nice person, they are what they are, unlike a Nazi they choose that.

The Germans do seem to be reducing to a war of attrition, not a good thing for them. Hungry nation to the east of them, pay them for resources needed, fight them if must, not a good thing.

Not sure a big enough difference in time to make a big change.

It did seem likely to happen, not a given but depending on the rulers or lack of them on both sides a opportunity is to be seized on. One needs to conquer new territory, to prove worthy of their father. Seems the question may be if this is a step to far for the Argead empire, will this be a...

Thank you for that article, was very interesting, does seem to be very little used.

Is there any estimation, of how often this was used in Roman times? Brutal, but effective? Backlash seems probable, seems risky. A more British/American expression I would think they were afraid there division would be gutted.

Yep, won the war, lost the peace.

Certainly rough days ahead, France still may fall. The war we know will not happen, too brutal losses for the Germans so far, and much more to come to prevail at this point. A lot will depend on if Italy joins the war on the Germans side. Even if the France still falls what effect on Panzer...

I would agree Guderian might have this point passed that with his leaders.

Not sure about the crash point, but a short article on that. https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/

If this does become an issue of the Panzer divisions having to force a way back to their supply lines, what about Guderian? If not killed in the upcoming fight, will he remain behind with the rearguard to see his troops escape?
