Altered maps VIII: World borders just got garbage-dayed

[W|M]

It's not only Bolivia that has a huge lack of punctuality, Brazil does as well.

If Nazi would have won WW2, they maybe (surely in the beggining) would have conquered what they called as ''their licit attempt to build the empire unifier of the german peoples''
As they said just before began the WW2:



This is all the territory that german tribes (anglosaxons, visigoths, franks, etc&#8230 have conquered or vassalized in human history

Iberians are Germaic now? (I know Iberia was invaded by the tribes during the fall of the Romans, but why South America?)

The spurious connection of the Visigoths and Suebi. In reality, of course, neither one of those organizations was particularly "Germanic", itself a ridiculous qualifier with regards to anything but language. However, that's pretty much par for the course as far as Nazi ideology and propaganda goes.

I feel like the giant swastika was an unnecessary addition to that map,

 

[choxorn]

Wait, Japan let them have South Asia?

 

[amadeus]

I was more confounded by Indochina... so Japan occupies them from Vichy France with Germany's blessing, and the Germans want it now? It was also my understanding that the Nazis had little interest in getting back their old African colonies, much less occupy all of Western Europe. Carve out Eastern Europe and depopulate the Slavic areas, yes, but Western Europe? Ehhh...

 

[Tee Kay]

It's obviously an unrealistic map.

This map only shows the territory that theorically ''belongs'' to them

It's still ridiculous, but I'm too tired to pick it apart right now.

Edit: if I see someone start a new thread by morning I'm going to strangle a kitten. or maybe not, but are you willing to risk it?

I didn't know that germanic tribes actually were a bunch of nazis

No kidding.

I think Germany captured a little more Russian territory during WWII than what's shown. Stalingrad...?

 

[Tee Kay]

Let's not try to make sense of that map. It's hazardous to health.

And now for something completely different. Veteran Altered-Mappers may remember how the map of Europe looks a bit like Marge Simpson. Well...

From Strangemaps: The Simpsons are keen fans of curious cartography, and maybe even of Strange Maps. Map #459, of Marge Simpson’s European Adventure, shows the diva of Springfield filling out a map of Europe with her remarkable profile. That map was sent in by Micky Hulse (original context here), and the Simpsons reference seems to have come full circle. Many thanks to commenter Jack Hinks for sending in a screengrab from a recent Simpsons episode (cf. inf.)

Stalingrad was only a little bit East of Ukraine. Just because Hitler advance very deep into the USSR, doesn't mean he advanced deep into Russia...

The Don River is a little east of Ukraine. Stalingrad was on the Volga, halfway to Kazakhstan. Granted, it is near the place where the Volga converges with the Don, but still, it's pretty deep into Russia. In December 1941 they were at the gates of Moscow.

 

[Ajidica]

With the Nazi map, why would Ethiopia be considered 'Germanic or once controlled by Germanic groups'?
