  1. Operation Unthinkable goes ahead - how much longer does the war last?

    I have been looking into a number of threads about Operation Unthinkable as the idea has quite taken me, though something barely anyone seems to touch on is just how long a war between the Western allies and the Soviet Union in 1945 would last... Regardless of whether people believe it would be...
  2. Could Greater Finland survive a WAllied victory without the USSR?

    In a scenario where the USSR is defeated in WW2, but the Western Allies still defeat Germany years later (Finland is neutral again at this point), would they allow Finland to keep the territories it took from the Soviet Union? If it survives, the SU would be very weak, so I guess it'd be up to...

It made me think, what if they accepted foreign help. Would Russian/Western relations be better for the help or worse because the Russians would...
  6. Chances of a negotiated peace between the WAllies and Germany if the Soviets quit the war

    Let's posit a scenario like the one in this TL I wrote two years ago. The TL;DR version is that Case Blue is highly successful because Hitler doesn't divert the Fourth Panzer Army to the Don Crossing, which results in the fall of Stalingrad in summer 1942. Stalin subsequently wastes men and...

    PC/WI: Westwall actually built?

    For the record, I have read A Storm of Steel and Fire, but just wanted to ask this anyway, considering how little I know about WWII. Besides, I've already raised the usual "Kaiser Bill attacks east, defends west" question, may as well round things out. Anyway, what set of circumstances would...
