German/American cold war (alt history) interest thread

Postby Zarzadon » Wed Feb 20, 2019 10:25 pm

DISCLAIMER: I am not alt right or a neo nazi, this is only for fun.

The year is 1950. It has been 6 months since the signing of the ceasefire between Germany and the United States. The past decade has seen the Nazi conquest and destruction of Europe. Hitler rules a vast empire stretching from the Atlantic coast to the gates of Moscow. As Winston Churchill put it, "A dark cloud has engulfed Europe." Life is hard in the Reich, weather you're a polish slave in Ukraine or an Aryan in Germania that shouldn't question the Fuhrer's word. Not even the free world is safe from controversy. President Truman made peace, but at what cost? Many support his decision while others like General MacArthur claim america was humiliated and disgraced.

More detail
What was possibly a turning point in the war, even if no one at the time realized it, was when the american congress failed to pass an act to send a lend lease to aid the Soviet Union. So narrow it was decided by 1 vote. The destruction and quick capture of Soviet industry in Ukraine crippled the Soviet war effort from the start. While the Germans failed to achieve the lofty goal of the AA line in 2 months, they did capture Moscow by the end of September. Although the fight was brutal on both sides. Stalin was determined to put every man woman and child between him and the German front and so refused to surrender. Winter lead to a stalemate, but the beginning of american lend lease after their entry with the Japanese attack, the Soviets began counter offensives. With the railroad network centered around Moscow they could send supplies and men directly to the Moscow front. The Second Battle of Moscow would rage for months and lead to thousands of deaths on both sides. Meanwhile, Fall Blau was underway. With out soviet supplies being able to effectively sent to the Caucasus because of the fall of Moscow, the Germans could ignore logistical issues and overextend their line leaving open holes. The soviets could not exploit them due to lack of supplies and reinforcements. The Germans swiftly occupied the valuable oil rich regions of the soviet union, using them for themselves while also staving their enemies of it. From here on the neither the Germans nor the soviets could break through. A few miles to the east of Moscow is as far as Germany could extend, due to logistical issues, american lend lease, and soviet determination. Even though the Germans assumed a defensive posture, the Soviets continued to wage a brutal war.
Blustered from victories in the east, the Germans successfully repealed allied invasions in Italy and Normandy, smashing decisive victories against the Americans. An attempted landing in south France in the spring of '45 would be the final attempt, but ultimately result in the most embarrassing defeat of the Americans at the battle of the French Riviera 300,000 Americans killed or captured. This humiliation would lead to Eisenhower resignation and the effective end of the war although allied bombers still occasionally bombed Germany. But more factories in the east where american planes could not reach lead to this being less effective. Finally in summer of 1949 the nations of the Axis and the Allies came together to negotiate a ceasefire. Although very unstable, and the soviet war continuing on, it brought peace to the continent. But at what cost?


I plan this RP to be less about military and more about diplomacy and proxy wars and the usual cold war stuff, but with Nazis instead of communists.

While I have some general outlines, the nations are more or less open to your imagination. I might make some presets but feel free to completely change them as long as they don't contradict someone else's nation.

Thoughts? Ideas? Interest?
