Author Topic: [ALTHISTORY] What if Czecho-Slovakia never submitted to national socialist Germany in '38?  (Read 4068 times)

Read the title.

Here's my scenario:

Excuse me for being "unrealistic", but I think that all of the Wehrmacht could have been decimated and Berlin conquered by Christmas of '38. How would they do it, you ask?



Meet the RPG-32 Hashim anti-tank rocket launcher.

Before you go on a rant about how the RPG-32 only rolled off production lines in 2007 both in Russia and Jordan, think about what most weapons in the RPG-XX series are built of; they're merely metal tubes stamped out from sheet metal and then welded together. Now with the production facilities that the Czechs had available to them at the time in our timeline, production of both rounds and launchers could be accomplished fairly easily.

The way the Czechs fought could also be reformed with the introduction of this new weapon. If you had a 12-man squad, and 2 men were launching the RPGs, but everyone had 3 in a backpack, that's 36 rockets. Think about the national socialist order of battle at the time. In a standard tank company, there's about 18 tanks: 1 for the X.O., 5 for platoon commanders, 12 for the rest. Theoretically, if each rocket was on-target, you could hold off 2 companies (about 1200 people) with only 12.

With scalability, you could hold off a whole battalion (4.8k people) with only a platoon (about 40 people).

Now think about if you could have antitank "hunter-killer" squads equipped with antitank mines, ZB vz. 26s and RPG-32s. If you structured it in such a way that each member, regardless of role, was equipped with 4 reserve rockets for 3 rocket-launching personnel, that's 48 rockets. Such squads would roam around 3 hours ahead of the main attack/defence force and target advancing/retreating tanks, tank repair depots, and troop convoys. Because such vehicles were never designed to defeat shaped-charges and antitank mines, you can only begin to imagine how much this would screw with an armored advance into Czecho-Slovakia.

If that wasn't enough, think about training times with the weapon. You can train an average civilian Joe who's never heard of, seen or touched an RPG-32 to load, reload, fieldstrip and accurately shoot at a truck-sized target from ½ a kilometer away in about 4 hours. If you trained a certain amount of civilians in every village regardless to operate the weapon, you have an insane amount of possible strongholds available to you should the main line of defense fracture.

Now think about this:



Meet the Concrete Canvas RDI system. It was developed in the 90s by and for British military usage; however, the technology behind it is very, very simple. You inflate a CC Shelter with an electric fan whose air goes into a plastic envelope, which expands. On top of that is an uncured-concrete solution laced into a fabric, which takes the shape of the envelope. Water is sprayed on it, which cures the concrete in the cloth in less than 24 hours.

Now a 2-man team could take a big ol' roll of this stuff and reinforce a rammed-earth rampart placed at a 45° angle in less than a day. When you think about how much dirt is in the Sudetný alps, you can raise very defensible positions in very short order, to keep vital infrastructures on the frontline from being overrun by hordes of Panzer Vs.



Now if her generals were capable of placing such units of infantry and CC materials in convenient locations in Czechia near Břno, Olomouc, Aussig and Plžen, an attack on the scale of, say, the September Campaign could, theoretically, capitulate, as national socialist Germany's army and air corps weren't even fully mobilized yet.

Meet the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

It's pretty much just a Spitfire with jets taped on the back, right?



Meet the M1A1 Abrams.

It's pretty much just a jeep with some metal and guns, right?



And this is how Germany could of conquered the world. Discuss.
