He's embarrassed by some of the contents but if you watch Corman's world he has nothing but praise for the man himself. Broadly one gets the impression he wonders why Corman didn't go further and become someone on Weinstein's level (although obviously not evil).

Not sure it's seen as shameful. I mean the "Corman film school" has long been an excellent gateway to film making and has launched dozens of careers many far bigger than Roger himself. Although that's because he likes being king of the B's and is quite happy where he is. But if the bigger...

True. I mean Corman is well respected and known to be an excellent employer, he just caters to what people want.

So broadly the viable bits get out while the OTL petro or cotton stans are kept (and propped up) by Moscow? Could see that, although while the Baltic's are gone whatever more of the states might have stayed if there had been something viable in the offering and they weren't worried about the...

True but it was certainly very convenient for him. Also convenient for Spain that the winner was more old fashioned ultra conservative than an actual Nazi. Not that he wasn't still a monster but at least a pragmatic one who kept Spain out of WW2 and (at least in public) moderated his worst...

Cape to Cairo has already failed by this point (great depression did for the money) and if they have reconciled with Germany and the rights to build the railway are maintained it's rather plausible they would allow it. Especially if they need an ally in a nasty fight more than a rail line that...

Its entirely possible for Britain to simply hand over a colony they took in 1918 (probably as part of any deal for support in the war to come). Nambia being the only exception because of the South African aspect...

Many have been modded for that system. Other run on WINE or other Windows emulator's.

Not now a days, or though some of the latest have such high specs you'll need a new machine and some very old stuff won't run on modern systems.

But if they can arrange it "a plague on both their houses" likely remains Belgium's preferred option.

But in the other hand they did try to violently take over only 20 years before, that's bound to sour some to the idea.

Not impossible although it they're not directly threatened I think they'd still prefer neutrality if possible.

True although it's a prestige thing more than a military need. While L-V isn't one ball he does want to get Germany's pride back and in the 1930's that means a navy with actual Battleship's in it even that's a little impractical or a resource hog. It would also be about "correcting" back the the...

The limit is six under the treaty (although that also limits the tonnage to 10k). Being able to field six actual Battleships lets Germany claim "Hey we're back," while seeming like a perfectly acceptable modification the British. Although swapping two of them for carriers is certainly possible...

Hitler objected to bigger guns as well and even after that passed it was to late for a refit. But yeah four 14 inch Scharnhorst's and a pair of cut down (but improved due to not being based on WW1 designs) Bismarck class Battleships would probably be acceptable. Six ships wouldn't be a major...
