Churchill’s proposed “South German State”

moerby08:

This map - designed in the style of The Economist - elaborates on the idea that has been put forward by Winston Churchill as part of his plans to divide up Germany after WW2. Initially labelled as the ‘South German State’, Bavaria, Baden and Württemberg (as well as the statelet of Hohenzollern) were to be detached from the former German Reich and to be united with Austria and Hungary. The remaining territories were to form two other states, the Rhineland and the North German State, which are only shown on this map as neighbouring countries.
