You guys have too much fun! I had some person from high school (from a thousand years ago) say that he felt sorry for me because I lived in the past, because I like history on my Facebook page. I wrote we learn from the past. He wrote "historians are the past". And that he'd pray for me because I had a lot of anger in my heart. This is the right wing Russian propaganda making clueless Americans think history is bad. He's a well off businessman. Wish Americans weren't so clueless.
Ha - that's a scary thought. I'm shy. really. It would be like going on stage with the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. You, Phil would be John, Dustin would be Ringo, Ben would be Paul, and Pete would be George. We're headed off on a WWII tour in the Pacific - Honolulu, Guam, Saipan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka. Not my idea, the other half wanted to go to Japan. If I survive this trip, maybe I'll join you.
I really enjoyed this. Stauffenberg getting publicity because of the 80th Anniversary. What do you think that would have happened if Hitler was assassinated? A friend says people would have people found excuses to continue on. He thought it had to be burned to the ground. (He's German).
IMO - I don’t think there would have been any significant regime change. There might have been a struggle for power, but the war would have forced some compromise. Stauffenberg failed to neutralise the Nazi organs, unable to force structural change or even rivalry. The Germans might have tried to make peace in the west to continue the war in the east.

Interesting. I'm thinking ahead of what happens here, if the unthinkable happens.
