  1. British forces in axis Cold War

    Ooh, thanks for that! I'll have to check it out. By the 1990s/2000s (my rough prediction for when things come to a head) the Allied powers that Nazi Germany would be facing off against when they decide it's time for the Endsieg would certainly be as prepared as one can be for that eventuality...

  2. British forces in axis Cold War

    I would think that once Chamberlain is out, a formal peace is likely off the table. The Allied demand for peace was unconditional surrender, and they have no reason to back down from that (they don't have or need an economic relationship with the countries they're actively at war with). I think...

  3. British forces in axis Cold War

    Oh, I definitely think they would make at least some effort to get the slave population a bit more stable once they realize that it's a finite resource. But I don't think they're likely to be successful, at least well enough to do anything more than delay the inevitable. Improving conditions...

  4. British forces in axis Cold War

    I've seen a fair few Axis victory TLs, but I've never seen them get far enough to get to the Axis collapse part so far. It's one of those things that I think has to happen at some point, but I find hard to imagine how it would go. But the way I see it, I think another hot war with the Allied...

  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    My prediction for China is that it will violently collapse sometime in the first half of the 21st century. With them still actively encouraging their population to grow and with it edging on three billion (seriously, it must be getting to the point where more than half the people in the world...

  6. British forces in axis Cold War

    This isn't the mid-1940s Germany of OTL, this is one that defeated the USSR around 1942-43 or so. They wouldn't have to regain air superiority because they'd never have lost it. Their attempt to get the resources they needed to continue the war effort would have been won, with the resources of...

  7. British forces in axis Cold War

    My best guess for this scenario, is that there is no peace treaty, since the Allies already have unconditional surrender as their main demand for peace and aren't walking that back. After the surrender of the USSR, even an official ceasefire would be difficult. There's just no way to trust that...

  8. British forces in axis Cold War

    In addition to all that's been said, I would think that the UK in an Axis victory would more or less become its world's version of Israel, at least in terms of military strategy, readiness, and capabilities (but far more powerful, having many times its population). While no longer a superpower...

  9. Failed spacecraft that would've otherwise succeeded.

    There was an okay AH novel called V-S Day that involved Germany pouring everything into the Silbervogel (and cancelling the A-series rockets to do it). The allies get wind of the project through espionage, and the US starts its own spaceplane project to be able to intercept it and shoot it down.

  10. Failed spacecraft that would've otherwise succeeded.

    I have a particular love for the Rockwell Star Raker, probably the largest SSTO design I've seen and meant to basically be a cargo plane for space, with a payload capacity comparable to large military transports. It was primarily designed for the proposed SPS program, which, given the timeline...

  11. Modern city-state possibilities?

    The Free City of Danzig in a world where the Nazi Party never came to power and the Weimar Republic lived on. A majority-German city that wants to reunite with Germany but is constitutionally forbidden to, with a persecuted Polish minority that Poland tries to protect in what ways it can. Feels...

  12. AHC save manned missions to the moon

    I see two possibilities, which wouldn't have to be mutually exclusive. Give the Soviets a functional manned lunar rocket (either an N-1 with the kinks worked out or otherwise), which allows them to land humans on the Moon as well. They wouldn't necessarily have to beat the Americans there, but...

  13. What if a surviving CSA built the Nicaragua Canal and the US built the Panama Canal

    This would probably be best achieved with a pre-ACW PoD, with William Walker's Nicaragua surviving for longer (not alienating his support would help). Long enough that they eventually are voluntarily annexed into the CSA (possibly to deter any invasion attempts by their neighbours, who have...

  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    I figured if that was the reason, it would have become apparent immediately rather than only in the last decade.

  15. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    I recall reading this section about the Allied retaliation for the Nazis decapitating the USSR with a chemical weapon strike, and I'm pretty sure the strange things it hinted at happening there was never revealed. What was going on at those three airbases? My guess is they were storing some...

  16. After an Axis victory, what would the inevitable Axis collapse look like?

    In the western third annexed by Germany, I would guess they have 20 or so years at best. Aside from the few hundred thousand taken at a young age to be raised as German by German families, the rest would be worked to death (mainly building up the Atlantic Wall, other infrastructure projects, and...

  17. After an Axis victory, what would the inevitable Axis collapse look like?

    I would guess the 70s or so is about when Russia's population is entirely killed off (both in the annexed portions and the rump USSR, assuming the Reich keeps forcing them to send a massive tribute of human lives). So that's probably about when they start experiencing a shortage of slave labour...

  18. After an Axis victory, what would the inevitable Axis collapse look like?

    Relations could be a bit better in that case, though I imagine they'd still be worse than the OTL Cold War given the two sides actually fought a war with each other rather than just being rivals without ever being at war.

  19. After an Axis victory, what would the inevitable Axis collapse look like?

    Assuming a POD of around late 1941 or so (with the Soviets doing worse and eventually getting defeated), I just don't see the Allies and the Axis every getting anywhere near this close. The Allies wouldn't need to and wouldn't want to. Because they'd have China, India, and most of the world in...

  20. After an Axis victory, what would the inevitable Axis collapse look like?

    Oh, they would definitely try. Whether they can sustain a birthrate that outpaces the very high death rate is another question, and I strongly doubt that they could. Given their slaves would be very unhealthy, probably malnourished, and continuously being worked to death, the would be a high...
