  1. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Why would they need to go to a wartime economy to intervene in Russia in 1917/18 like during WW1. They were already intervening IOTL before the end of WW1. The UK was in Murmansk/Archanglysk, The US and Japan were sending troops into Far East Russia, all the while they were still fighting...

  2. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    IIRC there was a version of a Bangalore torpedo that was pushed by a tank into place and could be set off from inside the tank.

  3. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Again they have no reason to station ships anywhere in the straits at all, all they need is to transit into the Black Sea. We are not talking about amphibious ships with landing craft. They would be on regular troop transports that don't have assault landing capabilities. This isn't IOTL...

  4. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Why would the Entente station ships in the Straits? They have plenty of ports between Romania, Bulgaria, The White Russian Ports and Georgia. Correct but you are talking about the end of the war, ITTL there is no reason for the British to occupy them if the treaty with the Ottomans goes the...

  5. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Peacetime for the end of WW1 not for the Russian Intervention and the Russian Civil War. Anatolia is an overland route. You need to ship by sea to get more volume of supplies and faster than shipping overland. You are suppling them from the UK, US, Germany and other places. Bosphorus was...

  6. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    This isn't peace time, this would be in this timeline, the intervention in Russia against the Soviets like happened in our timeline. You had a large White Army operating in Southern Russia, Ukraine and the Caucasus mountains. Having the Ottomans on board means you are able to ship more arms...

  7. What are the Chances the SS Gets Purged in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    Unless they made a deal with the devil so to speak, he is not going to allow a coup against the SS and will preemptively strike.

  8. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    You have to have the support of the Ottomans so you can get ships, supplies and men through the Straits and into the Black Sea to support the White Armies there. You had a large force of Whites in the Crimea and Ukraine that for a time fought back the Bolsheviks and Red Army in Southern...

  9. What are the Chances the SS Gets Purged in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    Is Heydrich alive in the scenerio? With him alive and in charge of the some of the more secret parts of the Reich's plans, loyalty to Hitler, and his command of the Gestapo, SD, and Kripo make a purge really unlikely.

  10. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    That was IOTL, in this timeline without the late 1917-1918 victories in the Middle East by the Entente there is no reason for the Entente having to make an agreement with the Greeks for Turkish territory. The UK and France would have plenty of reasons to make peace with the Ottomans...

  11. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Having the UK and Germany as Co Belligerents, if not actually Allies, on the Eastern Front with the UK's intervention against the Soviets might also tip them into wanting some sort of peace. Having the German fleet take responsibility for the Baltic and supporting actions in Finland with...

  12. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Anna could go and spend some quality time with Oma Schultz. Might get some family bonding done and help her see who she is, or not.

  13. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Germany could work with the UK after the Bolsheviks with Murmansk and Archangelsk. Have them reach an understanding that the Finns get Murmansk eventually and keeping Archangelsk might be more difficult but setting up a joint way to keep it out of the Bolshies hands might be a workable deal...

  14. Malaya What If

    Ki-27 vs Grumman F3F would be interesting also.

  15. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Juan Ibarra could represent Argentina at the next Olympics in the Modern Pentathlon with Nikolaus.

  16. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Does Kiki need some helpers out in some of the more remote areas that she is at or her organization is? I would imagine she would want all the help she could get from one of the outstanding families in Germany to do things like empty bed pans, clean emergency rooms, wash dishes and such, help...

  17. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    No Naval Units based at these ports other than a coast guard vessel/anti piracy craft or crafts and some police or native troops like Askari from East Africa. This would be more for a continuation of their present trace and companies that could work with the new nations owning the former...

  18. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    I was thinking of a trade off for German East Africa. There was also the possibility of having a "Treaty Port" situation if the Germans loose East Africa with getting something like Zanzibar and having a just a presence in Walvis Bay for example also.

  19. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Germany get no new colonies in Africa and most likely will loose some or all of them. Keeping German East Africa is probably out because of the British idea of a Cape to Cairo swath, evidenced by Rhodes idea of a railroad from Cairo to the Cape. They might however have a chance at Southwest...

    The Gladius or Seax works for both a quick thrust, parrying, and has at least one edge or two for a cutting/slicing motion. Gives you more options.
