What's that supposed to mean? Fu Manchu is a different style of AAR; doesn't mean it's lesser or anything?

This is simply a vindication of what terrible luck I have; I go away for a few days, and then he comes back!
Would people be interested in a more extensive mini-bio list, like Yogi did for the German generals? I've been thinking of doing some for more of the people featured within...
Only if people are interested, of course.

We're not worthy!
We're not worthy!
VJ: I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would love more bios!
I think it would also be cool if someonne went deeper into some of the post war stuff that Yogi talked about.

I didn't know Mucky Had cred
Vincent Julien: Yes that would be really cool.
Welcome back Yogi, thank you for getting me hooked on AAR's

I don't know what this Cred thing is about, but MuckyPup has every right not to like "Master Plan of Fu Manchu". It is VERY different in style, and there's no acounting for taste.
Bloody freakin' WOW.
I'm just an echo of the chorus of people who've read the whole superb AAR from beginning to end... it was so gripping...
Though not from the US of A, when confronted with the Swastika above the White House I felt like getting sick and grabbing the proverbial shotgun from the bottom desk drawer; not sure if I'd use it on myself or on a bunch of Nazis. :wacko:
Very odd sensation, but it only demonstrates your ability to take your readers right into your story. o

Just to update, I am going to be posting some bios soon, but my net access is decidedly limited at the current time. However, they shall be forthcoming, soon.
Update of the update: I have regular access now, so bios will be appearing at some point this week. Stay tuned.
In tha case i will sit in front of my computer on this page hitting refresh every 3 seconds.
More what happened to...
Oswald Mosley - and the September Rising.
There would be little disagreement within Britain today that Mosley was, in the words of one British newspaper in 1962, "The most unpopular ruler of the British isles since King John." - a remarkably restrained sentiment, all things considered. Whether or not Mosley was naturally inclined to the brutality which his regime oversaw is debatable, but it was an ultimately politically neccesary measure in order to keep a lid on the widespread dissent which his regime encountered, both in India and at home - and indeed was insisted upon by Germany.
This deep hostility at home eventually boiled over when, on the 16th of September, 1960, - less than a month after German troops had been withdrawn on the instructions of Chancellor Guderian - a small strike, initially confined to a few Coal mines in Yorkshire turned into a fully-fledged national strike and protest, which eventually snowballed, leading to bloody street-fighting between Mosleyite forces and workers, Communists, 'Patriotic Assocations', and practically every other part of society that could muster anything larger than a baton. A total collapse of the regime, and it's authority swiftly followed.
This, to say the least, caught the Guderian government unawares - as it did the rest of the world - which quickly insisted that Aneurin Bevan, the moderate Socialist - at least, relative to the Communist underground which now held sway over much of organised British labour - be brought back from exile in Ireland to head up a moderate Labour provisional Government to halt the possiblity of a British civil war, and the swift return of German troops. The Provisional Goverment was brought into being on the 7th of November, 1960, and, having nowhere to turn to internationally, Oswald Mosley was arrested two weeks later in Carlisle. Mosley, and other BUF leaders were tried over the following year, and the majority, including Mosley, were executed on the 15th of December, 1961 - "The best bloody Christmas present I've ever had.", as a Midlands Trade Unionist, no doubt speaking for the vast majoity of the British people, told a Times reporter.
More to follow.
Note - As this is an alternate reality, Bevan does not develop the terminal cancer that killed him in 1960, like he did in RL.

Good start so far, VJ. I'd love to read more about some of the other guys. It adds depth to Yogi's world.
