Untitled[edit]

Dear Sir.,

I have a question. What are those Flags, National Flag, or War Flag? The japanese flag on this page is a War Flag, had not been ever national flag.

North America[edit]

Wasn't there once listed here proposed invasions by the Axis Powers of the United States and Canada, or am I mistaken? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk • contribs) 21:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Axis plans for invasion of the United States during WWII --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 22:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O well it makes sense based on that discussion, but is there any chance I can see the old article at all? Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 20:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Focus of this article[edit]

I think this article has swayed a bit from its intended function. What is it supposed to cover exactly? Military engagements and operations by World War II countries, including the Axis powers, are presumably already covered in other articles such as here and here, to name but a few. Only expansion operations that weren't actually carried out, such as the proposed Japanese invasion of Australia, or anything that could be considered an expansion operation (which actually means most of them when you get down to it)? And what time-frame should we be concerned about? Just 1937-1943, after which point the Axis powers can confidently be said to have effectively "lost the war"? Or the entire period of their military history in World War II? Only "expansion" operations, or also contingency operations?

Is it also supposed to cover purely military operations (in which case those intended administrative districts for various conquered territories such as Nazi Germany's Reichskommissariats or the Japanese Empire's Co-Prosperity Sphere don't belong here), or just "global expansion of the Axis Powers"? --Morgan Hauser (talk) 03:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
