If Britain fell in late 1940, what about the Empire?
So i've been doing a lot of research into Operation Sealion. I've read about what would happen if the Germans were successful in launching an Invasion of Britain. I know that there was a plan to evacuate the Royal Family and Government if things really went tits up. But if Britain was successfully i...

Re: What were Hitler's plans for after the war?
Seems I got an answer after waiting long enough. It was a question that wasn't asked very well. 1. What was Hitler's personal plans after the war? 2. What was Hitler's plans for Germany after the fianl victory? 3. What was Hitler's plans for europe, if he had invaded and succesfully conqured England...

German 1939-1940 Victory Medal
Was wondering if anyone knows anymore about this interesting medal? The so called German Victory Medal with 1939-1940 on it, was manufactured in anticipation of Allied defeat in the west before the campaign with Russia, there were also ones manufactured with "1939" and "1939-1941"...

Sturmgepack
Does anyone know if the Sturmgepack (Assault Pack/ A-Frame) was ever used by the Fallschirmjagers?
The Fallschirmjager Y Straps aren't made to carry it, but the Sturmgepack had its own special straps.

Re: Reinhard Heydrich possible Fuhrer?
Yeah Hitler was a master at playing his Lieutenants off against one another, to keep them from teaming up and ousting him from power.

Re: Reinhard Heydrich possible Fuhrer?
Yes i've read several several books suggesting that. But knowing Himmler and his fetish for alternative therapies, he probably thought he was doing good and ended up killig him.

Re: Reinhard Heydrich possible Fuhrer?
Hitler intended to retire after the war and so therefore would have appointed someone as a succeed him. He was once quoted as saying he wanted someone young to take over from him as there were plenty of Fuhrers waiting in the Hitler Youth. Heydrich had some plans of his own for the Reich, for instan...

Re: Reinhard Heydrich possible Fuhrer?
True. But he was on the right track. He was already Protector of Bohemia and Moravia and looked set to be Reichkommisar in the east. But he was killed before that happened. He was a very clever man and the most feared man in the Reich after Hitler. Certainly an ambitious man like Heydrich had a good...

Re: Officer training in the Wehrmacht?
Would that Officer training be specific to the Heer or all branches of the Wehrmacht?

Reinhard Heydrich possible Fuhrer?
Heydrich was certainly an ambitious man. What are your thoughts on Hitler making him his replacement if the war had been won in favour of Germany?
