Tropes (HM6)

Tropes for the planned book based on the TL "How many Sixes does Adolf Nazi have to Roll?":
* : "Some Germans wonder for how long the 'Führer' would have been willing to make war with the Russians - four years maybe, like in ?!"
** Nazi Germany builds huge walls along its new eastern border to the Soviet Union. The latter calls it "the fascist wall of aggression", Churchill coins the term "Concrete Curtain", while most Germans simply call it "".
* : The very premise of the story. Additionally, with the claim to do it in a realistic way.
* : In 1945, Nazi Germany and its satellites control all of Continental Europe west of a smaller Soviet Union, except for Sweden, Switzerland, and Portugal. Plus some areas outside Europe. And that's not the end of it...
** Inverted (an ): For several countries defeated in the World War, but especially Poland, Yugoslavia, France, and Japan.
* : Hence old-timey terms like "Byelorussia" (or "Weißruthenien" in German), or the use of Wade-Giles for Chinese names.
* : . Mixed with lots of . And many original ideas. While removing everyone from our history you know and love if they are born after the divergence, for the Butterfly Effect. Nuff said.
** While at the same time alienating the new nazis for using a certain Hitler-critical appellation right there in the title.
* : An where elements from our world appear under different names. Like the concept of "Sweding".
* : Will probably happen more than once.
* : During the war, many persecuted people had prayed for peace. Turns out, as soon as the war is over and the chaos makes place for a new order, life under Nazi rule becomes even more dangerous for them.
* 
* : For this reason, nobody born since the early 1940s exists in this world. If some of them seem to appear, they'll be really more like siblings from the same parents, with the same sex, the same first name, and roughly the same birth date.
* : Will feature several ones, even and especially among the Nazis.
* : Several million Germans settle in the newly annexed East.
* : In a way that comes quite natural: Grouped by their nation.
* : The "Obersalzberg astrologers" (like Kremlin astrologers, but for Nazis) have to be this.
* : There is a longish one which leaves no doubt that this will be a hard story to read - for anti-nazis, because they lose and horrible things happen because of their defeat, and for nazis, because the author won't mince words about what they are willing to do and will put into practice in the story.
* : Jews, , blacks, Slavs
* : The Nazis reign supreme in Europe west of the Soviet Union, Stalinist Communism is standing strong, and freedoms (both social and economic!) in the "free world" may be restricted.
* : Said about the Hitler-Stalin pact.
* : The story researches just how bad a Nazi victory would be for the world. Sure, everyone and their grandma agrees about that part, but what about the details? This story looks at various aspects of it:
** How would Germans deal with the mental pressure of knowing what is going on in the Reich, while they aren't allowed to say it loud?
** How would the young Germans react growing up, knowing that they are essentially a slaveholder society now? And how would older Germans react to those youngsters who think themselves too good for dirty/boring/hard work?
** What'd be the result of German(ic)s growing up in the infamous Lebensborn homes? (Hint: Think of Ceausescu's .)
** What'd be the result of huge areas of former Soviet territory being settled by Germans? (Hint: Think of the saying "Two countries which are separated by a common language.")
* : To AH author , and Ralph Giordano who witnessed the Third Reich.
* : This trope lives on, in both of its aspects. Don't forget that Germany is the second-most important country with an eagle in its crest.
* : Himmlerstadt-Birkenau (near a certain Auschwitz).
** Saranda () was renamed to Porto Edda, after 's daughter. This already happened in our history.
* : The book starts with a joke and a guy with a Ph.D. talking about a prediction from a guy philosophizing about history. Giving you a taste what kind of story this is gonna be.
* : Many Germans and other "Aryans" when they see that Adolf Nazi seems unstoppable, and the Allies have failed.
* : (but not ) will be swallowed by NaziGermany after the war is over.
** Somaliland will be anything but be divided into an Italian, a British, and a French part.
* : More like a whole nail factory, in order to make Nazi Germany not only win the war, but to survive 20 years afterwards.
* : "Enjoy the war, 'cause the peace will be horrible!" As was said by many Germans in our world who had their doubts about the "Führer" being able to win the war.
* : Many examples, several of them (Itaka-Hemden, Nationalfilzismus, Polenwall) made up for the story.
* : Many prominent people die prematurely on dates important for them (in our history, that is). Konrad Adenauer when he'd be elected chancellor of , when he'd break with the Soviet Union, etc.
* : Male homosexuals are often referred to as "gaysexuals" by the author. This is copied over from .
* : "Adolf Nazi" for, y'know. "Führer" and "Aryans" in irony quotes. Same thing about "comrade" Stalin. Or nazi terms like "untermenschen".
** In a similar way, some terms about which nobody batted an eye then, but are slurs today, like "Negroes". People talked like this at that time, you don't have to approve it.
** People from the Reich writing about Kurdistan seem to be contractually required to write "Das wilde Kurdistan" (The wild Kurdistan) when reporting about it. Doubles as an in-story to 's novels - which Adolf Nazi loved so much.
* : In this world, George S. Patton says about Rommel: "Damn, that guy really is a ... the German brass must be so damn proud of him!" -- Truth is, both in our history and HM6, many German generals had nothing but hate and for him.
* : More than once, esp. for "Germanized" cities.
* : 1944 in the US.
* / : Standard for kids from Lebensborn homes. As in - the Nazis would raise "Aryan" kids there whose parents couldn't care for them, but also stolen children who happened to look "Aryan".
* : Making use of maiden names, unused first names, and real names of people using pseudonyms. So far (well, in 1940) there are Eberhardt Gauland, Melvin Kaminsky, Jane Butzner, Alfred Biller, Franz Strohsack, Ferenc Hoffmann, Hans Ernst Schneider...
* : In 
* 
** , , Thomas Dewey, Charles Curtis, Robert A. Taft, Steve Forbes, and Michael Bloomberg , but are out.
* : Greeks, Armenians, Levantine Christians.
* : The Kurds like to use this image.
* : The will feature prominently. Laval, Mussert, and many others also count.
* : Unfortunately not successful, leading to an early death of Oskar Schindler, , , and others.
* : Many.
** "By all means necessary" (yes, it's about defeating Nazis, or someone close to them at least)
** "Still not loving fascism"
** A New Yorker businessman named Trump (no, not , his father) using the phrase "tired of winning".
* : "At least there is one thing left in the world that considers a sin!"
* : In a joke (taken from our history):
::Nazi teacher: "How do you imagine the Third Reich?"
::Jewish school boy: "Exactly as it is!"
* : The story starts with the words 
* : What people hopefully will say once it'll be finished.
* : On the very hard side. Well, that's the plan.
* : Chinese names are consistently spelled in the old Wade-Giles system (as in "Mao Tse-tung", "Teng Hsiao-ping", and not only in "Chiang Kai-shek"). Helps to give to whole story an eerie feeling.
* : When Adolf Nazi proclaims the new Olympic Games for 1944, everyone outside the Nazi block doesn't like the suggestion. This is the start of a three-way split: The western world and the Nazi block will argue whose Olympic Games are the real deal, while Stalin celebrates his Spartakiade instead.
* : Many.
** On a minor note, marries an SS officer. She gets "Germanized" officially.
* : Some people notice that Adolf Nazi's inofficial Olympic Games of 1944 mark the beginning of the 13th Olympiade, although they're just the eleventh ones if you don't count the cancelled games of 1916 and 1940.
* : Wackier than ever. Unfortunately, more successful too.
* : , a halfway free and democratic country and an ally of Nazi Germany. As in our history.
* : The Jews are hugely relieved when Churchill finally decides to promote their irregular resistance groups in Palestine to full-fledged auxiliaries against .
* 
* : The crest of the "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" SS troops has a key on it (as in ). See, their leader was named Sepp Dietrich - and in German, a "dietrich" is a key, the kind burglars use to be precise.
* : The author thought about an alternative marrying a dashing SS officer (after getting "Aryan" credentials), but since she was born post-divergence (early 1940s, remember), that idea was dead.
* : Has already over a hundred pages for the historical background, collected here (English) and here (German).

* : "In fact, I'm willing to bet that in most possible histories, theyAdolf Nazi and Mussolini would've had to commit suicide, which is a common method to wipe out failures in the German army after all - or they would've been lynched by an angry mob of their countrymen."
* : Several characters, independently from each other however. Most prominently him.
* : He can be an asshole. The problem is, he is right.
* : He doesn't think that corrupting the German population with luxuries, their leadership with bribes, or cooperating with professional criminals against the Nazi regime would be unfair means to bring it down.
* : Typical for him.
* : He is a Greek trader.
* : About turncoats joining the Nazi cause: "What kind of people are this? Try to remember the bravest and smartest ones in your school class: They aren't the kind of people who dream of making a career as a bureaucrat in Herr Hitler's Reich. Those who are willing to work for him are mediocre fucks at best, people with slave mentalities at worst. No cheap tawk about 'master race' and 'en' can help them with this."
* : It's a safe bet he's using this whenever he talks about "Herr Hitler", "Signore Mussolini", "Herr Goebbels" etc.
