  1. Colditz isolated

    Had a random thought about something. Hoping someone here knows the answer to these questions: Ignoring the why, how long would Colditz be able to last on its own without any outside help/resources/interference during WW2? Does anybody know the most optimum time during the war for the castle...

  2. Crete 1941 - German focus on Maleme

    I was reading about Crete and discovered that originally there were two German plans to capture Crete. XI Fliegerkorps proposed simultaneous drops on seven different sites to capture all key points at once. Luftflotte IV wanted airborne landings only around Maleme and Canea, following up with a...

  3. Versailles Fistfight: Who's the PRIME Prime Minister?

    I was reading an article about the negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles and found the following sentence “At one point Wilson had to step between Lloyd George and Clemenceau to prevent a fist fight.” http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/versailles.htm So the question is simple. Who could...

  4. British SS Titles

    I was watching It Happened Here from the 60s last night. Its about a German occupation of Britain during the Second World War. One of the things mentioned is the British Legion of the Waffen SS. One of the cuff titles shown for this unit is the Black Prince Regiment. I was wondering what could...

  5. Shooting Hitler

    This question has some rather defined parameters. I was wondering if it was possible for a Wehrmacht officer to shoot Hitler at a briefing between the start of 1936 and the end of 1940. I don't mean there's a plan or premeditation or anything like that. He's there and for whatever reason he just...

  6. Sealion scorched earth?

    What was British planning regarding Sealion and territory the Germans might capture? Destruction of infrastructure? Soviet-style scorched earth? Or else leave it and recapture with counterattacks? I'm interested in the plans of the British, not whether or not they'd ever be put into action.

  7. Slow down European WW2

    What sort of 1942/43 European theatre defeat/disaster might cause some sort of collapse in Western Allied morale, and/or else cause the Allied timetable in Western Europe to be slowed or revised by a few months to 1 year. I’m thinking something along the lines of “So the Sicily landings (or...

  8. Khomeini's Homecoming

    The old man waited patiently as the flight circled the airport. The reporters filmed him sitting there. One of them asked him what he felt returning home, to which he replied “I don’t feel a thing”. After landing, he stood and made his way to the exit. The pilot offered his arm to assist the old...

  9. Sealion Spiked

    I think this is a new spin from a tired subject. Please read the whole post. Adolf Hitler, disregarding his timid generals and his naysaying admirals, orders Operation Sealion launched. The initial landings begin on September 22nd 1940 and have some initial successes on S-Day. The British...

  10. Hitler killed June 17th 1944

    Somebody just gave me 23 of the Time-Life books on WW2. Was flicking through one and found an interesting story. On June 16/17 1944, Hitler was meeting with Rundstedt and Rommel at Margival in France. Shortly after the meeting finished, a malfunctioning V1 landed nearby. What if it landed close...

  11. Sealion Gas Planning

    The British had made plans to use mustard gas if the Germans invaded Britain in 1940. I was wondering a couple of things: How did the British plan to deliver the gas? 25-pounder shells? Aerial spraying? Also, at what point would the British have started using the mustard gas? Germans...

  12. Stalin's Doppelganger

    I’ve been mulling over an idea inspired by this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=171404 Stalin hid out in his dacha when the Nazis invaded. POD When the delegation from the government comes to ask him to take over, he thinks they’re there to arrest him so he...

  13. Malta surrenders September 1942

    Italian Naval Victory I did a search on Malta surrendering, but only found two old (2004) threads. Does anyone have any fresh ideas? Mini-TL below. At an Italo-German meeting concerning the latest British supply convoy to Malta on August 12th 1942, Kesselring refuses a request to supply air...

  14. Gallipoli Disaster

    The Allied assault on the Turkish Empire at Gallipoli during WW One was unsuccessful for the Allies from start until almost the finish, from the naval assault in March 1915, through the initial landings in April and the major July-August battles until the evacuation in December/January 1916. The...

  15. Sealion Realtime Coxed

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Seen a lot of Sealion threads. Here it is in real time (Hopefully, except when I'm asleep). Used one source primarily, anybody knowing the topic will probably pick it up. Will cite it at the end. patch_g...
