January 1943. The German View

[Parma]

It seems Germany is more or less in the same situation as in 1918. Won the East front but is confronted by the, un imaginable, production capacities of the USA and Great Brittain. As example the Sturm troopers during the Micheal offensive in 1918 were perprex of the quantity of food, bevarge and luxery items available in the shops in the french towns and cities they conquered. A tthat time the top brass of Germany could not imagine the production and supply capabilities of the USA and Great Brittain either. Now the Germans could not believe the production numbers either.

It loos the world in this TL is heading to a Luft'46 world
And it looks if there is more room for the inventions and developments of Konrad Zuse

[Carl Schwamberger]

There are similararities, tho I don't think the morale and economic situation is as bad as 1918. Italy is the weakest Axis partner here, at the start of 1943. Even with no eastern front its not clear what Musolini can contribute, or if Italy can hold up any sort of economy.

....I expect a similar written '"Italian View" would be extremely pessimistic.
