Talk:World War II in Timeline-191

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Europe section

Infomation from Turtledove's novels on what's going on in Europe is indeed spotty, and ignoring claims made by just one side would make it even sparser, but unless something going on in Europe is on both the US and CS news media, it's likely to be pure propaganada. Accordingly, the "Driving on Warsaw" by the Tsarist army is doubtful. [no reference in US media; if true the US media should report something like Berlin reports "Heavy Fighting" near Warsaw.] (Stories of victories far away is about the oldest trick in the book.)

[edit] Material from The Grapple needs added

So far it looks like this article still only reflects up to and including Drive to the East.

[edit] Wrong Flags

Some of the flags in the window box are wrong. For the Confederate States, the Stars and Bars should be used. The Naval Jack was used on naval ships; it is not the national flag in this timeline. Also, the flag of Canadian rebels should have a blue background, as was mentioned in on of Mary Promery's sections in either Return Engagment or Drive to the East. I also must admit, however, that I have not yet read the new book if it mentions a red banner there. I would also assume that Russia would be using the flag introduced in 1914, with a yellow square in the top left, the width of two stripes, having the Russian eagle in black inside.Scotishman
