The biggest issue with the British Heavy industry OTL is the perfect storm of union obstructionism, nationalisation, lack of modernization and apathy, though given the push in other sectors, there may be enough impetus to get things done. But I won’t hold my breath.

Whatever happens if US units go up against German Formations without the experince Tourch gave them it will be bloody.

Not think of it for high tempo operations anything will have to be launched from Libya but taking the island makes it easier to run anti submarine operations

TBH given the British are already picking away at Italy in the med and already taken two islands close to Sicily (Lampione and Pantelleria) one of which wasn’t taken OTL till Husky they are already laying the ground for possible operations against Sicily as well as securing sea lanes. Also I...

I thought ITTL the Italians were trying to keep out of the Eastern Front?

Given the rate of successes and fewer losses in men and material isn't Britian better placed to resist unreasonable American and Soviet demands? Also Right now Britian and the Empire is the only force that has had any consistent victories against the Axis? And is keeping the pressure on then at...

and here we go!

Reading back a bit at the idea with the Imperial Guard basically putting the breaks on the German Advance it will make the French Armies failures stand in even starker contrast compared to OTL and will make it so there will probably be an up roar in government at the army.

A bit of a random idea could the monarch be called into mediate if there is a third deadlock they are the ultimate neutral arbitrator in this case since they aren’t supposed to take sides in political terms so it could be a useful tool.

Intresting mix of voting I imagine both Entente and German and Austro-Hungarian diplomats will try and court Britain. But Britian could make money hand over fist if she is neutral in the same way the USA did and offer lines if credit to which ever side they favour amd have them economically by...

TBH in regards to churchill I often think that the signal at the start of the war “Winston is back” as much as it boosted the morale for the Junior officers and rating it was also meant as a warning for the senior officers who remembered his record from the First World War.

It would also make the Black Seas Situation a lot more dire for the Red Navy, especially if they had to get out fast without destroying the docks or, worse, leaving behind some ships. Especially since they just lost their major docking and repair ability for the Black Sea with the Fall of Crimea.

Fair I honestly don’t know enough about India‘s cold war history with the UK to really argue with you.

TBH as others have said, we will probably see both German, Austria and Czechoslovakia taken by the Western Allies if they play the cards right, which will piss Stalin off in private since it will deprive the Russians of the loot they acquired OTL to help them rebuild and catch up with the...

It also will probably mean that Western Allies get further into Germany, maybe all the way to Berlin if they play the cards right. Which will really mess with the post-war USSR with the German experts to loot.
