  • The first known use of "Drang nach Osten" was by the Polish journalist Julian Klaczko in 1849, yet it is debatable whether he invented the term as he used it in form of a citation. Because the term is used almost exclusively in its German form in English, Polish, Russian, Czech and other languages, it has been concluded that the term is of German origin.
  • In OTL, the Second World War ended in a victory for the so-called United Nations, led by the "Big Three" (Britain, America and the USSR). Since then, much ink has been spilt on how it could've ended differently: What If Germany won the War? Although people point to PoD's during the war such as a hypothetical German victory at Stalingrad or Kursk, as moments when the war could have swung in Hitler's favour, there are also moments before the war that could've sent history down a much darker path.

This Alternate History will confront the world created by one such pre-war event, a small episode in New York, involving a speeding taxi, and a future Prime Minister of Britain...
