    And when they find out that the photographer is the son of the famed war photographer Malcolm Blackwood, he may find himself receiving more cameras. The only difference between winning an losing is if he gets dinner and flowers first or not.

    Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    While I don't agree with the scenario you've given, if we were to follow it, I think your proposed outcome is exceptionally plausible.

    Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    I believe this is incorrect. The plans for operation Coronet and Operation Downfall remained in place as late as August 1945. As for Casualties, all the briefings given, officially and unofficially stated that the expected casualties were between 500,000 and 1,000,000. To the extent, that by the...

    Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    While these are points worth considering, I believe that these are somewhat overstated. The strength of the German army on the eastern front at the close of 1941 was in the region of 3.5m men. Assuming Moscow is taken by Christmas 1941, Stalin, (or, more likely his successor), negotiates the...

    Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    I like this question, and I think some assumptions may need to be set first. Assuming that the Nazis manage to take Moscow in December 1941, Stalin is captured or killed. Assuming the evacuation of Moscow is completed as per OTL. Assuming Stalin's successor decides that accepting an...
