In the grim darkness of India, there is only war. On a massive scale i can guess. Of course, once India decides that they no longer want to be slaves all the guns in the Commonwelath can't stop them. Won't stop them from trying though. |

Wow, that is a blow to the Free India movement. Stellingsma really hates Indians and any prominent Indian who disobeyed the law might as well have a "shoot me!" sign hanging around his neck. That he rallied thousands to join him was just icing on the cake. |

That would require all of the going off to found families of their own instead of some staying together in totally platonic couples. The only ones who had children were Trude (With Erica as a permanent houseguest), Shirley, Perrine and Francesca. Fortunantly the spirit of all witch squadrons lives on in the 500th fighter squadron "The White Witches". |

The United Provinces has the Willem Order, Germany has the Knight's Cross With the Iron Cross, the United States has the Medal of Valour, Canada has the Victoria's Cross, Britain had the Hero of the People medal (discontinued in 1946), Sweden-Russia has the Order of the Sword, Brazil has the Cross of Liberty, Indonesia has the Medal for Gallantry and France had the Order of Napoleon (discontinued in 1945). |

Nice medals they have, i think the Willem Order is in the same order as the Medal of Honor in OTL. |
