  1. AH Challenge. Make the Battle of Verdun last for ten years.

    I have been reading Alistair Horne's excellent book The Price of Glory over the last few days, and it got me wondering... What if the Battle of Verdun lasted for ten years, instead of ten months... COULD it last for ten years, in the first place? What are your thoughts? So, your challenge, if...
  2. AHC: Make Euro Disneyland Profitable Early On

    I'm not so sure... It could be, but, then again, I'm pretty sure that the French government wanted the project to be build faster, so the profits could roll in... I DO have heard from my father, that they were considering to put Euro Disney in Belgium, where I live! Especially in the province of...
  3. Die Atombomben der Bundesrepublik: An Oral History of Germany's Nuclear Weapons Program

    Well... This is interesting, to say the least. I hope that we go and find out just how the Germans went on to steal those bombs. And, if the chancellor that is being told the story really IS Ursula Van Der Leyen, let's all hope that she's not stupid enough to go and use these things the next...
  4. German circling of Stalingrad, possible or not?

    Today, I was walking from work to home, and I was thinking... As we all know, the Germans tried to conquer Stalingrad by directly moving into the city, and driving the Russians out of the city, but accidentally leaving an entrance on the Volga for reinforcements, which left the Russians to...
  5. WI: Big Bird was on the Challenger?

    Indeed! When that character died, they pulled him off of the show out of respect, and they made a whole episode about his death. If BB 'died' on there, the whole episode would be one of the biggest events in television history! Thousands of children would be traumatized by this event!
  6. The Battle For Saturday Night

    Sorry if I sound a bit stupid and not able to read the thing but... Is this meant for British television, or something else?
  7. WI Inverted Korea. South becomes Communist, North becomes Capitalist.

    Imagine, if you will, a scenario where the Soviets and Americans help liberate the Korea Peninsula, but the Soviets take notice of the South Chinese Sea... Knowing that the Soviets wanted to have access to a warm water port for their existence, they then decide to go and take the South for their...
  8. WI Napoleon had become an Admiral?

    Hey. I've been reading, lately, and I was reading something about Napoleon, and there was one thing that peeked my interest... When he was studying at the military school at Brienne, he seemed to be interested to go and join the navy, as he was being influenced by stories of Bougainville, since...
  9. Could 9/11 Have Been Prevented?

    Personally, I think it could be prevented if one of the pilots knew there was something happening and fought back against the terrorists that were trying to board the cockpit. If one of the pilots had payed attention, and tackled one of the terrorists before they stabbed them and then have them...
  10. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Famous quote coined by Belgian football commentator Joris Vanderijcke, as he was commenting on the 2011 World Cup Final. Belgium against West Germany, as West Germany was losing 3-0 against Belgium. This was said in the last minutes, as coach Ullrich Zimmerman was telling his men to form a...
  11. Alternate Disney. (Help needed.)

    Thanks for your kind words. And thanks for the info on the Christian stance in the US at that time. I really didn't knew that there was an anti-catholic movement back then. I will work this thing out in future updates. You haven't seen the last about Elias and Vasiliy, either. Their little soap...
  12. Alternate Disney. (Help needed.)

    I'm not entirely sure, but then again, your comment is precisely the thing that I'm asking about in terms of this timeline. Fleischer Studios? I don't know. I don't really have plans to do anything with the other film studios as this timeline primarily focuses on Disney. Also, I don't know if...
