I also remember reading that the Hitler in the Draka timeline had lost an eye in that line's equivalent of WW I. So, yes, there will be differences as well as similarities.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

But that could be one of the rules of parallel universes, that some such universes differ from each other in some ways but not in others.<br />Paul.Paul Shackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180596532266581425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-57285141121124504122015-08-17T22:22:12.534+01:002015-08-17T22:22:12.534+01:00I've seen a reference that specifies that Hitl...I've seen a reference that specifies that Hitler in the Draka 'verse is blond -- so he's obviously a different person in at least one way, but with the same name, politics, and position.

I would like to think it would have been a better world, but we can't possibly know. And, even tho a world which saw a Crown Colony of Drakia beginning in 1783 had many of the same persons you listed as in OUR timeline, I agree those persons would more and more have had different lives than the ones we have seen in our non Draka time line.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
