  6. Behold: Project Habakkuk, the most gigantic carrier ever concieved Good lord.....I've never heard of this. This might be the most fantastical military design that was actually conceived of during ww2 outside of nuclear weapons.
  7. Japan Doesn't Invade China, Longest Possible Pacific War?

    Let me start by saying I haven't done a ton of research into the who, why, and how of the Japan-China war other than "Imperial Japan wanted conquest,resources" but let's say they never invade China(things are smoothed over following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident) how many resources and men does...

  14. WW2 Japan attacks Siberia , and why did Japan fear the USSR and not the US in WW2?

    I've always wondered how a Japanese front in Siberia would have affected WW2. As we know, the Siberian armies kept there to deter her which were moved West after intelligence indicated Japan would not attack, are what saved Moscow. The reasons for not doing so are obvious: 1. The battle of...
