I see that Pleasants, like Moss, was at Andersonville. Now it might conceivably have been designated an officers' POW camp in the intervening decades between the WoS and GWII, but with the Civil War still ongoing, only a few weeks after the POD? Not likely. Turtle Fan 18:56, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
- It's worth remembering that Andersonville was built originally to deal with overflow. It was opened in Feburary, 1864, a few weeks after Lee met Rhoodie in this timeline. And in OTL, it did hold 65 officers until May, when they were transferred. So I don't think Pleasants being held there in this TL is an automatic inconsistency. I'm not sure that HT had all of the above in mind, but it did hold a few officers at one point, and the idea that a sudden influx of prisoners period might have scotched the idea of transferring them in GotS.
- It also calls into question the validity of the "no officers" complaint in 191, actually: it didn't exist until 1863-4 in OTL, so it wouldn't have been built during the WoS. In all probability, it came into being in 1942 or so. TR 20:15, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm, you think so? Built by the Tweedom Party, then. Well, no matter.
- By the way, now that I'm thinking of it let me include the very, very belated complaint that the Andersonville scenes in DttE would have been better if they'd included some Hogan's Heroes jokes: Make the senior POW, whose name escapes me, named Hogan, find a way for a guard to work "I see nothing!" into the conversation. Of course, it would have gone over my head at the time; a friend and I had a HH marathon in '08, and prior to that I knew almost nothing about its tropes. Turtle Fan 04:04, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
