I wonder how the world will be at the end of the war. There isn't a clear ideological divide like our Cold War and I fear the victors will be too harsh in their terms to really maintain peace. Also with Germania and the UK still great powers decolonization will be hard to achieve in Africa.
Depending on who wins - victory is not certain. Britain and Germania are not the greatest allies and won't fall out, but won't work together with the greatest efficiency.
The northern US is a hotbed for communist activity, and it won't be a surprise if they rise if the nation is defeated. That will not be the greatest result. Russia is also looking shaky, and fascism may also survive the war.
Would it be too OTL ironic to give Stuttgart the title of Hero City?
Also I think the awards established for Stuttgart should be:
Defender of Stuttgart (Land), 1st and 2nd Class (For civilians and soldiers who showed immense bravery and valour during the battle for Stuttgart)
Stuttgart Cross, 2nd Class (For civilians and soldiers who suffered one or two combat injuries fighting in and around Stuttgart)
Stuttgart Cross, 1st Class (For civilians and soldiers who suffered three or more injuries fighting in and around Stuttgart)
Defender of Stuttgart (Air), 1st and 2nd Class (For airmen who showed immense bravery and valour in dogfights or other air force-related activities during the battle for Stuttgart)
And Imperial Unit Citations should be handed out to all units who fought in the Stuttgart area, with special mentions given to troops whose actions stood out from the battlefield.
Also (I have to ask) what is the state of Albania and Albanians in general in this AAR? And how progressive socially is Germania?
I agree with these awards! Many shall be awarded!
Albania is a neutral country in the sphere of Hungary (I think), although it does flicker between nations. It is stable and slowly developing rather than going to war. I think it is a monarchy, although I'll have to check.
The socialist movement in Germania is strong, and the Socialists are in charge. They have rolled forwards several reforms, the maximum workhours have been lowered to 12, everything else is on about level 4 I think - again I'll have to check.
I'm churning out an update now so don't fear!
