What if Trotsky became leader of the USSR? What if German became Communist? and what if Germany collapsed after WW1?
In one way or another, all of these questions are answered, with a major twist, in Project German October, an alternate interwar period timeline.
After Seeckt's "Deal with the Devil", the devil in question ,Trotsky, had invaded Germany after Communist revolutionaries rose up during the German Warlord Period. After an escalation of the conflict that included the western powers, a peace was signed, leaving Germany divided.
In the last episode, we explored what the ramifications of this point of divergence would be for the Soviet Union and Germany, but how would France, Britain and Italy react? Would the ideological divide and the consequences of Italy's "Mutilated Victory" get in the way of the west uniting together against the Soviet Union?
All of these Questions and more will be answered in Episode 2 of German October!
