They're a Who's Who list of scandals in the Democratic Party; Secretary of State Kennedy's stock manipulation and possible rum-running is prime on the list, and all are met with pardons from the White House, for . Hopefully, this will coincide with the invasion of Sicily, which is now forecast tentatively for July. The conservative wing of the Party is divided between two isolationist Senators, Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenburg, while the liberal is roughly divided between Indiana banker Wendell Willkie (who has not been associated with Democrats and thus not discredited as per OTL) and New York Governor Thomas Dewey. Meanwhile, in North Africa, the first United States Marine Corps field Army is forming; training together with Montgomery's British and Giraud's Free French, for the invasion of Sicily. In the Pacific, New Georgia falls to the Allies on August 10, 1943. The American forces are doing marginally better in the Pacific, enough that General Lesley McNair's proposal to move America's first and only Marine field army to Europe is granted. While Leipzig has, of course, lost thousands of her sons to the Russian bear currently devouring western Poland and the American forces in the Low Countries and northern France, so has every German city; and at least Leipzig has mostly been bombed only by borrowed Russian B-17s; the Soviets are now notorious for their inaccurate bombings.
Meanwhile, the American Expeditionary Force in North Africa has reached its full size; roughly half that of a standard Corps (38,000 men). The British Empire, Americans, and Free French will go north through Sicily and the rest of the Mediterranean, while the Soviets will strike again in the Ukraine. When all is said and done, 58,000 men are dead or dying on the beaches of Normandy, and in the fields around, on the morning of June 8, 1943. The majority are American; the British are focused on North Africa and India, where Archibal Wavell is preparing for a planned Japanese offensive from Burma, and the Canadians, Dieppe fresh in their minds, weren't about to get involved in such a batcrap enterprise. For each "movement", the pianist opens the keyboard cover, waits the appropriate amount of time, then closes it; that's all. So he picks up the .45 he borrowed from his Army guard the day before, puts it to his temple, and-!
When the last soldier had returned, he resigned from the Army. The newspapers explode with scandal as they've never done before in September, when J. Edgar Hoover releases his papers. Eliot Ness has no interest in dealing with the Mafia. When Charles Luciano comes to him with an offer of keeping the East Coast docks American; Ness threatens him with arrest. The Republicans, meanwhile, are much more divided; with far more candidates who want to be the nation's 34th President. Furious at what he regards as the smearing of a good man, President Wallace decides it's time to take action. In the Ukraine, both the Reich and the Soviets are planning lots of action for the spring and summer of 1944. Field Marshall Manstein plans a spring offensive against Kursk, aiming to drive the Russians out and seize the great Soviet salient in the area. Indeed, Charles McNary begins legal action against Hiss for perjury before Congress, a citation for contempt having failed by a slim margin. After all, just because the Army failed in France doesn't mean the Marines must fail against Sicily.
The establishment still doesn't get it. Still, while the Soviet advance has stalled somewhere in the center of the city and doesn't look to get going again until winter, the Germans are definitely on the defensive. His superior ability was quickly recognized and his advancement within the firm was swift. This was the first transaction between a Rothschild and a head of state. In 1770 Rothschild married Gutele Schnaper who was aged seventeen. And thus the term "spamming" was born. See what he chose for the set of the Ron Paul Channel. Ron Paul to the Fed and Ft. Just to top everything off, the Tehran Conference, from late November to early December, sets the stage for the post-war world. To head the new Labor Relations Board, Taft picks Secretary of Labor Fred Hartley, the former Congressman from New Jersey. In February of 1944, as most people in Washington have been expecting for a long time, White House Chief of Staff Alger Hiss is arrested by the FBI for espionage. Finally, Wallace decides to head out into the country; once the people see him, hear his message, they'll unite behind him.
