Naziposter pls go

It's cool to literally nobody outside your ideological bubble.

>what if eternal anglo is not eternal?

Yeah, it's not like a wildly popular show is based on the premise of a Nazi victory...

Jesus doesn't get martyred.

>America is split between Japan and Germany in a Axis victory scenario

What a retarded premise.

Why do you never point fingers at Russia?

Imagine an alternate reality where OP was never born, we wouldn't have this thread.

Imagine an actual discussion died so this thread could live, someone could have learned something reading that thread.

This timeline sucks.

What if Persia had defeated the Greeks and kept them subjugated? How different would civilization be?

To be fair, even Phillip K Dick acknowledged that it was ridiculous for America to be occupied, he just wanted to play with the idea of how Americans would react.

What if Charles the Bold hadn't died at the Battle of Nancy and fulfilled his ambition of ruling a kingdom stretching from the Mediterranean to the English Channel?
How would it affect France and the Empire? The Italian wars? 80 years war?

Wouldn't a more 'realistic' axis victory situation just the allies being unwilling or unable to retake most of continental europe/SEA?
Then watching the soviets and the nazis make bedroom eyes at each other for a couple of years before going back at it and imperial japan crumbling under a billion sanctions and revolts?

That's a pretty ... ambitious article, user. It makes a lot of assumptions that don't really hold up, like that the forces in Kiev would just sit around and masturbate or something if the army bolts straight for Moscow. It also makes a lot of factual errors; there WERE troops between the Germans and the Soviets. One of the reasons that the historical drive on Moscow was ass successful as it was was the disastrous Roslavl-Novozybkov offensive the Soviets launched in late August. If the Germans are attacking in mid-August, the Soviets are likely not going to make an attack against the weakened sector, since that sector isn't weakened; and the Germans will have to shove their way through.

Kiev was the biggest blunder of the war is pretty idiot tier. I'm honestly surprised that something like the Strategic Studies Institute would publish something like this.

Der Mond ist fest in deutscher Hand!

WTF? I started a cool alt-history thread the other day about Pearl Harbor being hit by a meteor and nobody was interested.

Screw you guys.

Christianity never came to power in Europe

>I know it's fucking stupid, BUT WHAT IF THE NAZIS REALLY WON!!??!?!?

Axis victory scenarios are fun

Then why not do something about a more realistic scenario about America's interactions with a Japanese dominated Asia and German dominated Europe, then the tired old cliche of "WHAT IF NAZIS TOOK OVER AMERICA?"

Thoughts on alternatehistory dot com?

My go-to place for alternate history albeit the administration is a bit dubious

Because, at the time, the premise wasn't cliche. The Man in the High Castle is basically the ur-example of "What if the Axis had won?" Also, a large part of the book is actually about how the U.S. deals interacts with Japan and Germany and how they interact with each other. Also also, at the time he was writing, PKD didn't have access to a lot of information we now take for granted, since it was still classified. To him and his readers in the 60's, the idea of an Axis victory was a lot more plausible.
