this is based on my favorite Sci-Fi Comedy "Iron Sky." for those who don't know, the basic idea is that after WW2, several Nazis escaped to the moon using Nazi Flying Saucers built in a secret antarctic base and established a moon colony shaped like a swastika (the moon nazis call themselves the Fourth Reich) with plans to return to earth and conquer it. these are alternate versions of Iron Sky based off of Youtube Comments, AH.COM, my wild imagination, and a magic 8 ball. Something to note is that alot of these settings are interchangeable, you could easily make all of these be set on the moon rather than a different planet, but i want some variety. of course, ideas are welcome! 

Of Course: you may check out the AH.COM thread of the same name if you would like: www.alternatehistory.com/forum…
