I am a student of Norwegian-Czech heritage living in Denmark, studying politics and history. My main interest is political and military history. My specialties in this subject is the Second War of Schleswig, the events surrounding the Norwegian declaration of independence from Sweden in 1905, the First World War, the interwar period (1918-1939), the Second World War, Cold War conflicts (including Korea, Suez, Cuban Missile Crisis, Six Days War, Yom Kippur War, Vietnam, Lebanon, Afganistan, Iran-Iraq, Grenada, Panama), modern conflicts (Gulf War of 1991, Yugoslav wars, Afghanistan 2001- and Iraq 2003-).

As well I have the interest of crude humor such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad!, South Park, Monty Python etc., war movies (focusing on historical or based on historic subjects), 24 and war games. In addition to my interest in military history, I collect militaria, such as historical flags, medals, currency and military equipment.

As my nick implies, my althistories focus as much as possible on realism, authenticity and historical accuracy.
