Shattered World : A Worse World War

I'll be making some revisions to Segment 52.2 based on some of the concerns raised over aspects of the Battle of the Canary Islands. Theres enough problems with it that a revision seems warranted. I won't go into what specific changes I'll make but they will be related to the Battle of the Canary Islands. Look for the updated segment to be posted here soon.

Shattered World - Segment 52.2.1(Revised) May 1st 1949 In the waters between Spain and the Canary Islands, operation Felix is launched by Germany and Italy. On the Canary Islands themselves, three submarine-delivered Italian commando teams come ashore in the black pre-dawn hours. These teams, veterans with experience in operations across the Mediterranean, are tasked with disabling the three main British radar stations keeping watch over the northern approaches to the islands. Two of the teams succeed in their mission but the third, spotted by a British patrol squad, is surrounded and wiped out. A similar operation on Madeira falters when the Italian commandoes experience equipment failures and are forced to call off their action. Meanwhile - a large 225 plane German raiding force of Ju-588's, older Ural bombers, and Fw-360g escort fighters is spotted by Free French radar outposts. On the Canary Islands and Madeira British forces...

Hi all, welcome to the new Shattered World. As you can see, I've abandoned the awkward old web page in favor of this newer slick blog look. On the right side of this new page you'll see links to the discussion board, the Shattered Wiki, and the old site for purposes of nostalgia. Below that you'll see links to the main three content "books" of Shattered World - Eurasian War, Between the Wars, and The Second World War. All new content, including things like updates and announcements, will come through this site in the form of a blog. New Shattered World material will be released in small segments which will combine into full parts as my writing progresses. So, part 52 will be divided into Segment 52.1, Segment 52.2, etc. Each new segment will be very short, covering perhaps a week or two of the time line. But they will link together to form the larger parts that you are used to. I've decided to move to this format in order to publish in a style that better su...

Shattered World - Segment 52.1 April 21st 1949 to June 15th 1949 April 21st 1949 At the port of Cadiz, in southwestern Spain, in the headquarters of the newly created Axis Unified Naval Command for the Western Theatre of Operations, German and Italian naval staff officers plot the next phase of operations to strangle the British Empire. With the capture of Malta the Axis have cemented their domination of the central Mediterranean and the vital shipping lanes there. With the Rock of Gibraltar now flying the Swastika the western Mediterranean is an Axis lake - as a result the Italian navy, in the form of a substantial surface task force, now sits at anchor on the Atlantic coast of Spain while German and Italian submarines ply South and mid Atlantic waters wreaking havoc on British and neutral shipping. But Axis ambitions do not end there. With directives straight from Hitler and Mussolini, the Axis intend to extend their hold into the South Atlantic. Operation Feli...
