History ComicBook / Block109

* AlternateHistoryNaziVictory: The comic is set in a [[CrapsackWorld particularly grim case]] "Nazi Victory" world where, ironically, Adolf Hitler's assassination early in the war made the whole thing ''worse''. After ThePurge, a new leadership takes charge, manages the early fronts much better, expands the war onto other continents, develops nuclear weapons, and wipes out most of civilization (although the war against USSR turns out just as hopeless for them as it was in real life actually, thus mitigating the "total Nazi victory" a great deal). By the end, after more than a decade of non-stop total war, [[StupidJetpackHitler Nazi science]] unleashes a ZombieApocalypse that drives the new German leader [[spoiler:(who is actually a MoleInCharge attempting to subvert the Nazi regime from within)]] to press the ResetButton for humanity as a whole.

An {{omnibus}} titled ''Block 109: Univers'' was published in 2018, regrouping all of the stories in one single book and adding some new World War II-style poster artworks. It has a preface in which Vincent Brugeas explains he was done with the series, lacking inspiration and editorial possibilities and dedicating time to other projects (such as ''Chaos Team'', an adaptation of the Franchise/{{Conan|The' Barbarian}} story ''Literature/BlackColossus'' and ''ComicBook/{{Cossacks|2022}}'').

** ''New York 1947'' (2011) -- A special commando is sent into the ruins of UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity for a very secret mission.

UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler [[BoomHeadshot was assassinated]] in 1941, [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Heinrich Himmler took over the chancellery, Reinhard Heydrich became Reichsführer of the SS]], UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}} was rebuilt to Albert Speer's designs and renamed Germania (much like in ''Literature/{{Fatherland}}''). [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany The Third Reich]] conquered [[AlternateHistoryWank Western Europe and most of Africa]], launched its "Ragnarok program" in 1942 and [[NukeEm massively nuked]] the [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates USA]] and the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom [[DramaticIrony on May 8th 1945]]. Operation Barbarossa was launched in 1944 but the [[UsefulNotes/RedsWithRockets forces]] of the UsefulNotes/SovietUnion proved to be stronger than expected and ultimately repelled the German armies all the way to East Prussia. A new [[UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights Teutonic Order]] was created (the symbol of which is a square pierced by an arrow). Himmler died in an accident in 1947 and was replaced by his right-hand, an ambitious officer named Zytek.

Several large format albums followed. They're all one-shot stories set in the same universe between 1944 and 1953 (some major characters of the first album appear in them at some points):

* ''Etoile Rouge'' - 2010
* ''Opération Soleil de Plomb'' - 2011
* ''New York 1947'' - 2011
* ''Ritter Germania'' - 2012
* ''S.H.A.R.K'' - 2014
* ''Maruta'' - 2016

Zytek rejected the title of "Führer" and now calls himself the "Hochmeister" (Grand Master, which is also his rank in the Teutonic Order), and he has an agenda of his own, which reaches its final phase in 1953 just as Germans are fighting a desperate battle in the ruins of Marienburg, East Prussia.

* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: Actress Zarah Leander became successful in Nazi Germany just like in RealLife, but she's in [[PropagandaMachine action propaganda movies]] like "Ritter Germania Against the Red Beast" instead of the dramatic and FemmeFatale roles she had in real life.
