Today In Alternate History

Humour? Is it funny? Today In Alternate History explores things that might have happened.

in 1944, the desperate push by the Allies to invade Europe and end Hitler’s control of the continent is begun at Calais, France, under the command of General George Patton. Despite Patton’s brilliant leadership, the Allies are defeated, and Nazi control of the continent is solidified.

in 1997, a condom manufacturer delivers a small case of its product to the White House. The rest of Bill Clinton’s second term is quietly uneventful.

in 2001, Former President John F. Kennedy passes away quietly, in his sleep. The 2-term president was 84 years old.

Hmm.. I can’t repeat what Pron /msged me but the conversation degenerated quickly after that…
