>Anyway, it's a pretty good reworking of Anne Frank's story.

Thanks

>The gimmick of the grey uniform and That Event that went Differently is also nice, but I thiiiink you're doing it only to paint the racists in a good light.

See >>10302211, also I chose Faulkner and Shelby Foote to be the most prominent supporting characters because both criticized racial segregation at a time when it was still a legitimate political platform to run on.

I went with the University Greys specifically because I'm a massive Faulknerfag and they have a prominent role in Absalom, Absalom! I like the idea of Faulkner, a simple college literature professor in this timeline, takes up his grandfather's mantle, and leading his former students into battle against a terrible enemy (in this case, the Third Reich) as a parallel to his attempting to emulate his grandfather by becoming a writer in real life.

Shelby Foote's cameo is a little more straighforward. Since the American Civil War ended in a Confederate victory and it as a result is not as prominent in Southern culture (something Foote pointed out once in an interview), his Jewish heritage serves as the focus of his writing instead. Serving as a vehicle that drives his exposing the horrors of the Holocaust to the English speaking world, which starts with his chance encounter with its most famous victim (whose survival is ironically ensured by her misfortune of first becoming pregnant and being caught in a warzone).

>Polish the situations with the army a bit more and you're good

Any recommendations?
