Alternate world Propaganda

Outch.... "Rentrez chez, soldats français" doesn't mean nothing
I would have translated "go home french soldier" by "casse-toi sale français !" (Get lost you bloody french !"). You could also use the word "frank" which is used by breton nationalists like in this song.

Rather than "casse toi, sale francais" (that would be translated as "Go to hell, dirty frog", and far from the "US Go home" he tries to rend) it would be correct to put "Rentres chez toi, soldat français".

But if I understand it well, and that both states are french-speaking and originated, making insults as "franchimand" (les bretons n'ont pas vraiment le monopole des appellations injurieuses) seems a bit weird like spanish nationalist insulting republican for being spanish.

So the poster makes little sense to me.

Well in terms of translation, using overall "Go Home French Soldiers" was translated as "Allez-vous chez le soldats francaises" but that didn't fit on the poster haha. I saw and was going to use Rentres chez toi, soldat français but that again was hard to fit and have without different font sizes, which I didn't want to do. I asked someone studying French if simply "Rentez chez soldats français" made sense and they consented so I went with that.

In terms of the meaning behind the poster, the Republic of Gaul lasted a few decades and in that time, thanks to a loathing of the French Syndicate, tried to develop their own identity. I almost thought about trying to find a way to say "Go Home French Soldiers" in an old Gaulish language but that was rather hard to find. So for the Spanish Republic example, it would be Catalonians insulting the Spanish in Spanish. Looking at the source of the poster (the IRA-centric Go Home British Soldiers) being an Irish group using English would be the same notion as the Gauls using French for the poster as most people could only read it that way.

No it doesnt : Goggle Trad is your worst ennemy. That is what is called in academic circles a complete gibberish.

It translate as "Rentre chez toi, soldat français", and I think I know how to make the difference between a sentence that means nothing in french, and something that does.

I asked someone studying French if simply "Rentez chez soldats français" made sense and they consented so I went with that.

Well...Stop asking this guy.

If you need something short : "Partez, soldats français!", "Part, soldat français!" or "Va t'en, soldat français!" would be correct.
That said, it's still quite polite and not really fit.
"A la porte, le franc!" / "Dégage, le franc!" would be far *far* better in that given context.

I almost thought about trying to find a way to say "Go Home French Soldiers" in an old Gaulish language but that was rather hard to find.

There's really few of continental celtic language that lasted up to nowadays : essentially names, toponimy and a short vocabulary (at best, 150 words). So I doubt you'll find anything usable.

Maybe you should search for a gaulish conlang, but I'm not sure about the accuracy.

If the Gaul Republic is situated in the southern part, it would surprise me that they would use Gaul instead of a romance language, critically if French exist that said. It doesn't make sense.

I'll be sure to edit it. Also it's in the North along the Atlantic. The Gaul republic was essentially founded by what we would call 'ultra-national fascist racists. They had this thing for lynching non-Germanic Frenchmen. Also the POD of the TL is farther in the past than simply the French Revolution are anything similar. For instance France under House Ivrea

A Spanish Civil War Poster from a timeline where Emilio Mola, not Franco, led the Nationalist side. His goals were different to Franco's: he did not seek destroying the Spanish Republic, but "saving" it... in other words, setting a military junta and killing everyone who were remotely associated with the Popular Front. Hilarity ensued.

The poster says SPAIN HAS ARRIVED. This is the original.

So are things better or worse for Spain ITTL? 'Cause frankly, I can't see Mola as being that much worse than Franco (considering how much of a brute Frankie was, OTL).

It isn't quite propaganda - but I was rather pleased with how the latest in-universe poster from "Agent Lavender" turned out;

I made it to be worse -casualties in the millions instead of the hundreds of thousands, and Spain not experiencing an economic miracle and evolving towards totalitarianism. Of course, if Mola would have been actually worse than Franco is an arguable thing.

Propaganda poster from the French Socialist Republic vilifying USAF reconnaissance incursions into French airspace. ITTL, the Western Allies never opened the Second Front, allowing the Soviet Union to liberate all of continent Europe from the Urals to the English Channel, establishing communist regimes in each state.

Imagine an army with no NKVD, no barrier troops and no exiles?
Imagine an army where you are free to practice your religion, and openly display your Icons?
Russian Soldiers and Officers! Join the Imperial Chinese Army!

If China was wanked mid-19th century through a change of dynasty, then it might come to clash with Imperial Russia, and later the Soviet Union.

I don't think highly of the OTL Vlasov forces, but again, anyone who fights an ideological war against the Soviets would have a would exploit Stalin's crimes against the Russian army.

Ennemi has too many "M", not enough "N"

yeah, well, State Typesetting Factory No. 56 surpassed their five year M type quota so you will just have to enjoy the surplus

Mind if I use that poster for my story over on paradox? It features a commie America.

Thing is, I may have to alter that badge in the corner...
