  1. Drug Trade - UK 1940s

    I am thinking about some ideas for another story in my AH series (see signature for the first) and one of the ideas relates to the drug trade. However, I have found information on this - particularly the heroin trade - hard to come by. One of the ideas was to re-route some of the supply to the...

  2. Libyan Oil - 'Earliest' discovery and exploitation

    I am sure I have seen posts on this before, but unfortunately cannot find them, even with the search function. So, simply, what is the earliest Libyan oil can realistically be discovered, and then exploited. Is the late 1940s realistic? This is not an attempt to provide "infinite" resources to...

  3. Middle East alignment in Nazi victory scenario

    In the event of an armistice with the UK (pre-Dec 41) what are the most likely alignments of ME countries? Syria & Lebanon - France? Israel/Palestine - UK/? Jordan - UK What about Iran and Iraq? Are they likey to align similar ways or opposite?

  4. Tube Alloys - Best Case Scenario

    In a scenario where the US is more isolationist and is therefore not involved WW2 to any degree. The UK are forced to proceed with Tube Alloys alone. The war with Germany ends in the early 1940s, an uneasy Cold War between Germany & the UK follows. Canada appears to be the obvious base for the...

  5. Germany/Britain Armistice post Barbarosa

    What are the most 'likely' factors that could lead to a cessation of hostilities between Britain and the Axis once Germany has invaded the Soviet Union. I fully understand this is highly unlikely. It seems a combination of more than one of these factors would likely be needed: 1. No Churchill...

  6. Hitler Dies in Oct. 1938

    What happens if Hitler dies in late 1938? Is WW2 (in semi-OTL form) still inevitable, or would his replacement (Goring?) perhaps not push as hard in Poland. A conflict is likely (certain?) at some point in the not to distant future, but could it be delayed for a few years. Might it even be...

  7. Other options besides Churchill?

    Were there any options other than Churchill to take over when Chamberlain resigned? I know Halifax is the default selection in AH to sue for peace, but was there anyone else, even an outsider who might have got the job?

  8. WI: Impact on Pacific War of a British-German peace in 1940/41

    Whilst I realise that the likelihood of the peace is low, I would be interested in hearing opinions on how this might affect the Pacific War. Assuming that the peace is negotiated rather than a surrender, it is likely (I think) that the BoA and BoB have gone better for Germany than OTL - little...

  9. WI: Wever lives, Goring dies in 1937

    What are the implications of Goring dying in early 1937, with Wever taking over as the head of the LW. I realise that Goring had significant influence in other areas, so interested to understand what the implications are there, and who might take his place in some areas. Would Wever have the...

  10. Turboprops in WW2

    The concept of turboprops was first proposed in the 1920's, and the basic building block, the gas turbine was known before WW1, and a simple, low powered turboprop was finally built in the late 1930's. Are there any significant technological reasons this timeline could not be accelerated...

  11. WI: No Battle of Britain

    What if, in a syphilitic haze (or equivalent) Hitler had decided that he did not want to fight the the British? He had France and Spain was neutral, so his western flank was in his mind relatively safe. And he REALLY wanted Russia. As such, he decided in say July 1940 that there was no need...

  12. No Polish-British Defence Pact

    What would have been the impact if this and (maybe) the corresponding French pact did not exist? I realise that the UK was concerned by German expansionism but suppose that Chamberlain had continued along similar lines to Munich and talked but not formally acted on it. Obviously once the...

  13. German Navy - A small bump

    What is the feasibility of a 'commando' force being used to capture one or more of the French vessels that were destroyed at Mers-el-Kébir. Scenario is that the Germans 'found out' about the attack far enough in advance (not difficult as it was threatened in a general sense for a while) to...

  14. Luftwaffe & Kriegsmarine revolution 1937

    I am working on a concept for a novel based on changes to the command structure of the Luftwaffe in particular, but with some significant shifts in Kriegsmarine policy as well. My key PoD is early 1937 where the three key Luftwaffe leaders (Goring, Milch and Udet) are killed in a plane crash...
