J. P. Kennedy
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
- You may be looking for Joseph Kennedy.
J. P. Kennedy, also known as JPK, was President of the United States in a Germania where a bellare frigidus had broken out between America and Nazi Germany. He made overtures to Hitler and initiated a period of detente between their countries. Marcus Americanius Scriptor thought it notable that years prior, Kennedy had said
Strong anti-Semitic tendencies existed in the United States and a large portion of the population had an understanding of the German attitude to the Jews.
Seeing how entrenched Nazi power had become in this world, the Empire of Empires chose to skirt around it in their war against the Greater German Reich. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)
Behind the scenes
- Joseph P. Kennedy's role in this Germania is a reference to Robert Harris's novel Fatherland. The film adaptation of that book featured Jean Marsh, Clare Higgins, John Woodvine, John Shrapnel, and Rutger Hauer.
- In the real world, JPK was the father of President John F. Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Senator Edward Kennedy but none of this is stated in a valid source.
