[QUOTE="TDRandall, post: 1801597, member: 4808"] How much did the aliens have to contribute? I don't really know, but it seems like if they simply "helped" them get their technology ahead of the Allies for the past few years it would help a lot. Messerschmidt jets might be enough to remove British air superiority. Fully functioning radar (wasn't it just early, untrustworthy tech at this time?) The enhancements to weaponry like the torpedoes mentioned before could also make the next generation V3 rockets much more accurate and devestating that England couldn't help but capitulate. It couldn't have been TOO far future, what with the bulky plasma weapons being offered to the Germans by the alien requesting the materials evidently for the "big project". I haven't seen it mentioned here, but I had always considered the Temporal Cold War to be between two different factions from two different places and races (Suleban vs. Humanity). This episode made me realize that it was more likely two different factions from alternative futures but both were based from earth humanity. In the one we get the Federation, Suleban, and Xindi (albeit the last two became stooges of the other faction), while in the other we get a Nazi victory that leads to ... what? Total fascism over the entire galaxy? Perhaps the "aliens" are merely a few hundred years of breeding the proposed Aryan supermen? I do wish they had brought more news and reports from the "outside world". I didn't really catch any of what "Churchill" (presumeably) said. It would have been nice to hear a bit more about the other leaders. We only know that the "president" pulled out of DC - do we know it was Roosevelt (or Truman)? Shoot - I don't actually remember seeing or hearing anything that let's us know that Hitler is still alive and leading, nor anything about the Japanese. (I wish you could pull down transcripts of a show after it had been broadcast - I'd pick through it because this is all only IIRC.) Then again, this is a SciFi TV show - Star Trek we're talking about. Although they do their best to make things sound official, when has reality really gotten in the way of the story? [/QUOTE]
