Luckily for us the Nazi’s at no point had a real chance for winning. (I’ll admit maybe one of ten-fifteen Nazi Victory threads at alternatehistory.com/discussion manage to find a short-term sort-of plausible answer.)

But at the end of the day the Nazi’s just didn’t have it in them, as long as they were still Nazi’s. Now Germany seeking to own all of Europe in a sane fashion with roughly the same geopolitical and military state of affairs as per our timeline 1939. Sure. I could do that as Supreme Overlord of Germany knowing what I know now. But then? Heck, even beating France was crazy lucky.

(Although, of course, the Nazi’s were the master of insane money-wasting super-cool weapons. You have to admire their dedication to that.)

Oh, right, assuming you get notified of this comment: any chance of sticking that 20-page background of the world of Autumn Rain up on the website? I love the world you’ve created (not wild about the ending or characterization, but nothing to ruin the books for me) and the website and your fifth-generation warfare stuff just isn’t enough :).

@ Herr Doktor: You should check out Farrell’s REICH OF THE BLACK SUN. Awesome account of the *really* crazy weapons. ..

At least we’ve still got elections.

For now.

Holy crap! We might have wound up in a world dominated by a superpower known to practice torture and genocide.

Hi David
I am with the Orange County Science Fiction Club.
You left a message on my answer machine that was mostly garbled by some electronic happening———-
You mentioned maybe stopping by our club when you are in the area. Be happy to have you. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month. If you know ahead please email or call me and we can schedule you for a meeting. We love authors and even have our own writing group.
Thanks
Greg
