World War Two
Published 18 Nov 2021

The second front has been opened, and Allied forces are invading Vichy French Northwest Africa. But did you know that it could very well have been an invasion of Europe taking place right now instead? Let’s examine how this idea came about, and why it never worked out.

World War Two
43 minutes ago (edited)
As much as many Europeans may want them to, the Western Allies are not planning to carry out an invasion in mainland Europe by this point in 1942. By 1944 however, a major Allied landing will take place at Normandy. We are planning on covering that entire day, D-Day, minute by minute for 24 whole hours. This will be the most in-depth documentary series ever created on that event, which means we have already begun work on it. This is an enormous task, and the entire TimeGhost Army is playing a part.
