Talk:Fatherlands

Alright, this AH has a few problems which I wish to discuss with you, the creator. The biggest problem I have is the UK switching sides and allying itself with Nazi Germany. You need to understand, the British at this time _hated_ the Nazi's. Winston Churchill said once "If Hitler were to invade Hell, [he] would give an at least favorable review of the devil." Even if Churchill were deposed somehow, and some Fascist-aligned Prime Minister were to replace him, there is still the King and the Parliament, not to mention the population that would resist him. If Britain were to sue for peace, I doubt Hitler would listen. But let's say he did, let's say for whatever, reason, the Nazi's can now focus the full brunt of their might against the Soviet Union.

Let's think about what happened OTL; http://flagspot.net/misc/su(.gif That is what eleven time zones of Josef Stalin looks like. This, combined with a military force of 4.8 million before plus 29.5 million during the war meant that, even with the slight technological advante the Nazi's had, meant that the Soviets would did not go down.  In OTL, the Axis lost over 5 million men in the Eastern Front, not counting those that were captured.

I assume you mean that the Soviet Union was not in any shape to aid the Communist Chinese forces, which in and of itself is hard to believe.In addition, the Empire of China, a state which just got over a civil war and invasion by the Japanese, a state which was not exactly up to snuff on the technology of the day, invades and occupies roughly a third of the Soviet Union. Not only would this be nearly impossible of itself, but the Soviet Union and China were allies! They were against the Axis forces, they would not attack each other.

Most people think that World War Two was a teeter-totter, and that just a little push on the Axis side would have made them the victors. This is false. Why? I will point you again to the eleven time zones of Josef Stalin up there. No matter what the Axis forces did, short of Not attacking the Soviet Union, getting their hands on nuclear weaponry, or going back in time and stopping all the stuff Stalin did to help the Soviets, there was not way the USSR was going to roll over and die like what you and so many others have postulated.

I am not trying to be mean, and I think this TL _could_ with work, be plausible. I am not trying to discourage you from writing, only to discourage a lack of research.
