Don't think so. The color is different. Compare Taiwan and Hong Kong.

I think Kaiserreich might have something to do with Sternberg's meme value.

Surprisingly Sternberg's meme value may preceed Kaiserreich by a few years.

Nah Sternberg has been a meme since history YouTube videos started talking about him and he honestly deserves it, he was a living breathing meme.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that so many of these maps have an openly pagan Reich allied with some of the most devout countries in Europe?

One wonder why the "mapmaker" didn't just post a screenshot of the HoI game itself.

Even though politics did play a part, by the 20th century it was things like mutual political and economic interests that play a bigger part. I mean, we had a formerly strongly anti-Communist USA fighting alongside the strongly anti-Capitalist USSR for OTL WW2. And while many Catholics and Orthodox Christians would be uncomfortable working with an openly Germanic pagan empire, it's not like they can do anything about it; the Reich can just express its displeasure very strongly.
Because it would be too obvious?One wonder why the "mapmaker" didn't just post a screenshot of the HoI game itself.

I mean, that one is clearly non-serious and ASB.
Also, you should watch the rest of his videos. They are good.

Oh believe me I have. Only Ethereal Snake can take the premise of "Mickey Mouse the Vietnam Vet" and make a masterpiece out of it.

I prefer "Thomas was following orders". The twist is, to be quite frank, rather amusing (if rather bleak). It's (I'm guessing) sequel is also well done and rather touching, though the Uncanny Valley bit might put you off at first (I know I was hesitant to click on it).

Holy shit. That video is intense enough, but the top comment is a chilling piece of writing.

A conversation in another thread reminded me of something. Assassin's creed has it that Anastasia Romanova survives the Russian Revolution and becomes possessed by a Ming Chinese Assassin because she touched a box.
Nazis vs. The Bloody White Baron, they each more-or-less control a continent, and something like three quarters of humanity would have the misfortune of being (at least indirectly) ruled by one or the other? I'd want off that planet!
It's ideologically inconsistent, admittedly; but even in real life the rabidly racial supremacist Nazis allied with the exceedingly non-"Aryan" Japanese. Even called them "honorary Aryans".
If there's one thing fanatics are good at, it's rationalizing away inconsistencies that get in the way of them doing whatever they want.

That is... incredibly dumb, but then again, the Assassin's Creed timeline isn't exactly what you'd call logical. I mean, WW2 was entirely a Templar plot, for example. No, I'm serious; Hitler, Stalin, FDR and Churchill were all Templar and agreed to do the war to reshape the world "according to plan".
Yeah, Assassin-possessed Anastasia Romanova isn't the dumbest or most mind-boggling thing in that timeline.
I wouldn't want to stay in that world either, but there is a silver lining; what's the USA doing? Do we know anything about it? Is it the one bastion of freedom in the world, or is it another semi-fascist hellhole with a veneer of democracy? If the latter, the best this world could be used for is wargames and RTS. If the former... well, it would be fun to see heroic liberators giving the ol' one-two to the forces of tyranny and liberating the Old World from their clutches.
Anyone know where that's from?
EDIT: nvm, found it.

Didn't Goering try to create an uprising in the USA by declaring the Native Americans "Honorary Aryans" to get them to turn on the American government? Or was that apocryphal?
I can't find anything of it, although I wouldn't be surprised.
They had a weird and fetishy attitude towards the Native Americans in general, though.

Ironically, the one who inspired much of that obsession probably wouldn't have lìked the Nazis much as they liked his works.

Why? And why must they do it with the good ones with Sean Connery? Whyyyy.
