It’d be certainly interesting if you read the modern version of this, a fan made rendition of this book called World War: War of Equals. It’s basically the Race contending with early 21st century humanity instead of WW2 humanity.
Its even worse for these guys as they can only live in arid climates like the Sahara and can adapt to tropical climates like South America. So they cant even be in Russia during the summer
Fantastic Work! Love the quality you put into this. Accurate to the books. You earned a Sub. An interesting Scenario would be ww3, where Humanity, after years of technological development, invades land held by the Race.
Something like that might eventually happen - I don't see really extremist military dictatorships like the ex-Axis or Soviets lasting that long, though.
if I remember correctly China was not immediately conquered in fact in the book he tells of the trenches in Harbin which last for a few months after which the whole of China is conquered
Interesting video, I appreciate it. I also appreciate you didn't want to extrapolate and 'fill in the gaps' left by the disparate character P.O.V.s, so the territorial changes depicted make it appear as though the race are only ever advancing on one front at a time (whereas realistically we should expect that there are incremental changes occurring across the various theatres simultaneously) but it would have been a slippery slope to portray that authentically. The initial massive land-grab by the Race is similarly a bit jarring; some of the territories you depict being occupied in the opening days of the invasion are too vast, in territories too logistically barren, to be authentic, but would have also meant rampant specilation and extrapolation by your own hand (due to lack of P.O.V. chsracters in these areas.) Regardless, your maps are the most detailed I've found on the web. I don't suppose you have them available in image format? Particularly the post-treaty sit-rep.

@@PanzerKingWarThunder Some of their technology is pretty similar to that of the 1990s (when several of those books were written) They possess a form of nuclear fusion-powered space travel that allows for speeds of up to half the speed of light.
Their space travel related technology was centuries ahead of today, their weaponry and tactics were 1990's level because that level it was when they unified politicly, they never experienced internal revolts, and all planets they conquered yet were pre industrial at best.
this alien race: the combines of half life but only worse and more incompetent, how could an advanced alien race with cutting-edge technology, spaceships and nuclear weapons manage to lose to humanity at the time of the Second World War with inferior technology? lmao if it was in the 2020s or 2010s or even the 2000s I would even understand the defeat of this alien race but in the 1940s? WTF the fact that they didn't conquer the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States even with superior technology, spaceships and nuclear weapons leaves me perplexed 😖 all that's left to say is that this alien race It loses to humanity at the time of the First World War, the American Civil War and the times of Napoleon, right? this is intangible 😂😂
Their leadership was really incompetent, to say the least. Also, the Race was so overconfident that they only brought enough ammunition for a few weeks of large-scale operations.
@@OrionAltHistthe leadership of this race is one of the worst if not the worst leadership in the history of fiction (especially involving aliens) this leadership makes the Austrian painter, the Soviet Mario from Georgia, and Vladimir Putin jealous lfmao 😂😂

There’s also a fan fiction that talks about if the probe that visited earth in the Middle Ages instead visited earth in like 2010.
Were to find the world war: war of equal
"The Race prepares for a winter offensive into the Soviet Union"
Everyone who knows anything about history: "ah shit, here we go again"
TRUE
Its even worse for these guys as they can only live in arid climates like the Sahara and can adapt to tropical climates like South America. So they cant even be in Russia during the summer
The fact that they think us Canadians live in an inhospitable land Is hilarious
well in the books the lizards are used to warm temperatures, so i guess canada is too cold for the lizards
Now I hate Florida
Same with russia lol
I mean, they're not wrong
Admiral Atvar did not realize this was a trap
You're videos as in terms of quality have improved greatly !
Thanks!
The race: “ah humans will be easy they have bows and swords”
*sees how they have nukes giant military’s and terrible climates*
“Ok treaty”
Btw the aliens delayed their invasion by 800+ years bcz they didn't think humanity could become a threat
@@OrionAltHist ik
@@OrionAltHist what would have happened if they did not delay their invasion?
@@davidvangerner7241 Well, if they hadn't delayed their invasion by 800 years, they would've won very easily.
Even 1990's level lizard people dont want to invade switzerland lol

I wish someone would make an animated series of the story. But it doesn't show Lui Han getting raped.
That's the best part 😜
@@MisterSands what.
The fuck you mean raped?
@@MisterSands i do not know the context but what.
2:40 some things never change

The Race: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Ye
The UA-cam end screen is obscuring my view of the other continents after the war.

Working on a new video. Preview here: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/795469957344264202/795855188480229396/11.png
Caught a few mistakes in the map, mostly in the United States, but also in a few other parts of the world.
Magnificient!
Thanks!
Brilliant!!!!!
!Thanks
If they have 1990’s tech, then how where they able to reach earth ?
With space travel, that's how.
@@OrionAltHist so where we able to travel 12 lightyears in the 1990’s ?

We already have interstellar teck back in the 50s
I cannot see the map at the end purely because of all of the video/channel stamps
this is cool
Alien Where in ww2
I think a little more time on the text bits would be good.
Well, my other vids (this was made a while ago), only have one event on screen at a time after a certain one.
@@OrionAltHist Okay, I will check them. I quite like the format, especially as a quick refresher of stories I have read in the past.
How many soviet people died in this war?
That's number's unknown, but is probably very high.
Nice
Thanks!
