There were also plans to land infantry of Plum Island (coast of Massachusetts and New Hampshire). Presumably they were intend to swing up behind Portsmouth to seize the port and Navy Yard to gain a North American base. I live in the area and have been trying (unsucessfully) to get the local guys to game it. Read "1901: The Kaiser's First War" for a fictional account. |

I'm basing this pretty much entirely on baseball names being a tracker of immigration, but wasn't that time period around the height of German immigration to the US? Which I guess could either lead to a 5th column or seriously dedicated resistance fighters. |
