  1. Did the German general staff shrink before 1913?

    While reading Gerhard P. Groß's book "Mythos und Wirklichkeit" I came across a figure of 162 officers working on the general staff during Schlieffen's time. Now I have found a figure of 120 officers working on the general staff in 1913 in Iris Freifrau von Hoyningen-Huene's book "Adel in der...

  2. Weimarer Republik with a weak President?

    What if the Weimarer Republik had a figure head and not a president with extensive powers? Would this make the state more stable or less stable than OTL?

  3. Scheer lives and goes for Reichspräsident in 1932?

    Came across this first in Scheer's German Wiki article, then got the book it mentioned and looked it up. Wolfram Pyta in his book "Hindenburg. Herrschaft zwischen Hohenzollern und Hitler" (2007) states that Hindenburg choose Scheer to be his successor in autumn 1928 and informed Scheer about...

  4. No Asiago, A-H focuses on the eastern front

    What if instead of attacking the Italians at Asiago Austria-Hungary had focused on the eastern front in 1916? I get the feeling with Conrad that he just couldn't sit on the defence, though I think that might have been best for A-H in 1916. But Conrad would probably attack somewhere... no idea...

  5. Oskar Potiorek as austro-hungarian chief of gereral staff?

    In 1902 Oskar Potiorek was appointed deputy chief of general staff by Franz Josef but due to Franz Ferdinand favoring Conrad von Hötzendorf the post went to him and not Potiorek in 1906. So what if Potiorek had gotten the job? His record against Serbia doesn't look good, so I wonder if this is...

  6. Effects of Germany planning to go east on Russia?

    So if the Germans had planned to go east in the case of war, and had in fact planned so for years with "west first" taking the back seat, how would that effect Russia? Espcially during the July crisis. Also, what does this mean for France and Britain?

  7. No Gallipoli landings?

    Effects if the Entente hadn't tried it? Where do those Entente and Ottoman troops go?

  8. Tirpitz dies in 1910

    How would things develop for the German navy if Tirpitz dies in 1910? Who takes over, what is build, how much etc? Would there be a plan about what to do with the navy in case of war?

  9. If Prittwitz had kept his subordinates on a short leash

    I saw this on another forum some time ago and found the idea interesting but the discussion there did move away from the original idea and left it mostly unanswered, so I thought about putting it up here. What if Prittwitz had kept his subordinates on a short leash and kept concentrating his...
