Have any of you ever heard of Herman Sörgel's ambitious  project? It never got anywhere due to the fall of Nazi Germany, Sorgel's death, the huge cost of the project, environmental damage and destruction of many tradition cultures.

I don't think it is feasible due to these things but if a single state ruled the region then I could see it being somewhat likely, albeit every destructive. It still intrigues me as I can see some of the good the project would have done.

Anyone else got more detailed knowledge of this project? What you think of it?

I am also slightly interested in pursuing a timeline which has this project being completed. Perhaps the Americans fail to build a nuclear bomb, meaning the Nazis win or the USSR take over. This sort of thing seems something what the USSR would do considering what they did with the Aral sea and other environmental projects. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:15, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
