  1. Books on Hamburg City Layout?

    Does anyone know of several good books covering Hamburg's city layout in-depth in the 1920s? For my timeline, I'm planning to have a detailed Hamburg Insurrection taking place across the city in streets, buildings, etc. Specifically, that means working-class districts, key buildings to be...

  2. Beneath the Crimson Banner: A Timeline

    Here's the first two-and-a-half pages of a novella-length timeline I' planning on finishing over the summer once school's out. This is more or less a total rewrite of an older, dead timeline bearing the same name. The present section is probably going to be greatly expanded once I get my hands...

  3. A Review of Harry Turtledove's "The Great War: Breakthroughs"

    Here's a review I did on my blog, covering Harry Turtledove's The Great War: Breakthroughs. Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution. --- I finally finished The Great War series by the alternate history author Harry Turtledove. The series encompasses three books, chiefly American Front...

  4. The Socialist Party in Turtledove's TL-191 Series

    In reading through the massive TL-191 series of books by Harry Turtledove, it becomes apparent (even though I'm only on The Great War: Breakthroughs book) that the Union is supposed to become the equivalent to the Soviet Union while its southern neighbor ends up becoming this world's equivalent...

  5. Beneath The Crimson Banner: An Alternate History Timeline

    Here's the first few parts of a much longer timeline that I've been working on for the past few months (while juggling my college work). Right now its incomplete, but will eventually be finished. Updates, due my heavy work load at school, will be forthcoming and probably won't be timely so be...

  6. Axis Victory Concept Map

    Here's a concept map that I did which postulates an Axis victory in the Second World War. It's rather rough looking right now, but feedback would be greatly appreciated. :) BACKGROUND: The Wehrmacht has triumphed at Stalingrad; the Greater German Reich has expanded all across the former Soviet...

  7. Another Crack At A Timeline

    Here's what I have so far for a reworked and rewritten version of my timeline. I've scrapped all the useless muck which involved absolutely no AH, and instead made the beginning the first initial POD. I also am going for a more realistic narrative here, while aiming to tell a decent story as...

  8. How Do You Do Research?

    Hello, I'm thinking of rebooting an old timeline of mine and was wondering how others on this forum conduct their research. -What's the best way to gather research through reading and/or note-taking? -how much research on average is required as to write a decent timeline (I'm guessing quite a...

  9. Writing an original 'Independent Confederacy' Timeline

    I've abandoned work on an earlier timeline, and am keeping much of the detail on Russia's revolution intact (which still happens ATL) in a much longer timeline dealing with a Confederate victory in the American Civil War. I was inspired by my love of history and by this post from the Alternate...

  10. Books on Hamburg during WWII

    Does anyone here know of any books detailing Hamburg during WWII (specifically, the layout of the city during WWII), as a major portion of my current timeline involves a detailed account of a battle fought over a ruined and war-torn Hamburg. I'm specifically trying to find accounts of how the...

  11. Cowards, Traitors, And Dungeons Dark TL Discussion Thread

    This is the new discussion thread for my renamed timeline Cowards, Traitors, And Dungeons Dark (originally the AH was known as Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia) The title change is due to the fact that as I had written more and as the AH became more involved, IMHO the old title didn't work...

  12. Poland's territory after losing the Soviet-Polish War

    As some may already know, I've been working on an AH entitled Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia. I'm unsure about how to carve up Poland between the USSR and Germany. How would Poland be divided assuming the Red Army marches into Warsaw during the Soviet-Polish War? Maps and/or graphics...

  13. Plausibilty Check: Fascist France

    A major portion in my TL (currently I'm in the process of taking notes) involves an alternate WWII. The setup is that France becomes fascist and forms an anti-communist pact with Italy (already fascist and more or less unchanged from OTL fascist Italy) and Britain (?). ATL WWII mirrors...

  14. A Few Questions For My TL on the Battle Of France

    I've a few questions on my TL version of WWII, chiefly: -In the TL, the German Red Army utilizes a modified Sclieffen Plan w/ a stronger right wing and a weaker left wing for its entry into Belgium which ITTL resembles a direct thrust into Belgium rather then the OTL movements through the...

  15. Fictional German Red Army Uniform Designs?

    In my TL Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia I'm planning to get into some detail over alternate uniforms for the German Red Army. A few questions (I'm not pretending to be an expert, so bear with me): -Should I keep the field-gray color scheme, or should the coloring on the new uniforms be...

  16. The Man In The High Castle

    I'm almost done with my (second) re-reading of The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick. The second time through...it's excellent. I see why it's considered a classic and a staple of alternate history. What are your thoughts on the book?

  17. Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia: An Alternate History

    Here is version 3.0 of Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia. It will eventually be finished and will be updated occasionally until complete. Read, enjoy, and comment! :D Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia: An Alternate History --- Part One Section One In 1918, the nascent Soviet...

  18. Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia 2.0

    Hello, everyone. I'm rebooting an old story idea I had where the Russian Revolution/Civil War developed differently, leading to a much different Russia and world. Version 2.0 is very different, if not non-identical from the original story. The new story deals with a POD wherein Alexander F...

  19. Research/Note Taking

    I'm about to do research for an alternate history I'm working on(An American Civil War AH). Specifically, I'm utilizing the three-volume Civil War: A Narrative series. When taking notes, should I only jot down details I consider important(political, military, etc.) or jot down most details that...

    Sometime prior to or after Vladimir Lenin's death, have the Soviet state be "softened" by any means necessary. Perquisites: -Stalin cannot rise to power under any circumstances -Trotsky cannot rise to power under any circumstances, either -The Bolsheviks cannot stay allied with other parties...
