werewolves -> underworld (how could they revolt if they're only "wolfed" 1 night a month) - absolutely rediculous. furthermore, whereas vampires are immortal, 'wolves are just normal guys. Stupid movie. Futhermore, they would be powerless as 'dudes, thus their revolution would've collapsed the instance a cloud crossed over the moon.
My version would be frankensteins vs. vampires; or mummies vs. jabberwockies; franks are basically steam-powered cyborgs: servile, yet strong as oxes. They're also undead, albeit in a loose sense. With these credentials, they would be much more adept Rebels. for example, the frankenstein army could implant lenin's brain in one of its rank-file, thus creating a de facto revolutionary leader. They are not impeded by the moon.
Basically, the story can be broken down into a few easy-to-follow phases:
- Dracula enslaves the Frankensteins (the house slaves serve his vassels bloodade, etc; the plantation franks' harvest garlic).
- Since Frankensteins brains are variable, one frank gets Karl Marx's brain; composing/passing out leaflets. The vampire/industrialist fredrick engels, already sympathetic to the frank's plight, is charmed. Pro-frank vampires push Dracula to emancipate the Franks'
- Some radicalized naive steins' armed with stakes and holy water stage an assassination of Count Dracula the II. This led to Alucard's ascendancy to the throne. His first edict was the Neckbolt Act, which dissolved the meager frank' civil liberties and suppressed protests with reincarnation.
- Lenin's brain is placed in a frankenstein; which has rudimentary memories of his past-life.
- WAR! WAR! WAR! Through a series of monster treaties, the creatures of the black lagoon threaten the mummies with annexation if they don't comply to their ultimatum. The draculas, as self-proclaimed protectors of the mummies, declare war on the black lagoon creatures. (blank check with the wolfmen leads to war on two fronts)
- After four hundred years of war, the wolfmen incur massive losses and several humiliating defeats. The vampiric authority begins to crumble. The sporatic Frankenstein protests become more frequent and often turn violent.
- As the wolfmen are at the gates of Transilvania, Dracula abdicates, causing to a power vacuum. A liberal vampire provisionial government is hastily formed.
- In spite of the recent Vampiric pro-frankenstein Reforms, The frankensteins, accounting for 80% of the population yet 0% of the government, feel, rightfully, disenfranchised. Lenin creates a massive propaganda program calling for a general uprising.
- On holloween, 1930, a group of radical Franks occupy Dracula's Castle. They meet only token resistance. Lenin, with the popular support of the frankensteins is able to maintain his chokehold on Transilvania. this was known as the Holloween Coup The global human stock market crashes.
- Lenin assents to all of the wolfmen's harsh demands in the treaty of Carfax Abby in 1939. 40% of transilvania is Wolfman. The war is over. Ironically, Romania, allied with Germany, initiates WW2.
- Lenin begins the same reforms he did in his past life.* This is the one analogue with human history, as Rumania was occupied by Soviet Russia that same year, thus enacting his exact same reforms!
- The vampires and the few land-holding mad-scientists, with international support from their old allies, the mummies, offer bloody resistance. Civil War erupts!!! the cold war begins
The movie would start the moment the first shots were fired during the civil war. After a scene where a squad of Vampire Grenadiers engage in bloody house-to-house fighting. the narrator would then proceed to describe the history; Which would segue into the next two flashback scenes: Alucard II's "
Neckbolt Act" (leaving out the cause) and the Holloween Coup.
The opposing forces:
Vampires:
armour: Although they didn't have access to government funds, they were able to negotiate with NATO for Panzer IVs and Shermans under the guise as democratic freedom fighers convincing them they were fighting a proxy war behind the iron curtain. As for the locally acquired weapons, they were able to have a branch of Panzerjageren, including a battalion of Jadgpanthers.
infantry: Vampires traditionally used melee weapons: broadswords,scimatars, etc; these weapons were family heirlooms. They were adept horsemen, and 80% of their forces were de-facto cavalry or dragoons (mounted infantry). Their standard rifle was the Russian Mosin/Nagent, which were extremely common in soviet occupied Rumania. Officers were equipped with MP43 assault-rifles. Anti-tank units were equipped with panzershreks (which were abandoned in large quantities by the wehrmacht when Rumania fell).
artillery:
They were excellent artillery commanders, they were capable of pin-point salvoes with very little fire for effect. Their forward observers would transform into bats and fly into enemy positions and relay the coordinates via telepathy. They would use soviet AS-1 heavy artillery and 105mm guns. Each infantry battalion was allotted a compliment of a battery of German 75mm infantry guns.
air: They had the advantage of tranforming into bats for recon. They also had JU88s and fuker-wulf transport planes.
Frankenstein Soviet:
armour:
The frankensteins were able to appropriate Soviet T34/85s and SU-76s from the occupying Human Soviets. Along with conventional HE and AT rounds, they would also have SLAK rounds which, akin to FLAK, would burst into several small stakes.
infantry:
Frankensteins, being naturally a hodge-podge of body parts, were able to graft various weapons on themselves, earning the nickname "Panzerkleinen" (little tanks). The standard loadout was replacing their left arm with PPS sub-machine guns.
NCOs would have chest-mounted MG42s/vickers machine guns.
Anti-tank units (panzerjagers) would have shoulder-mounted lend-lease bazookas.
Fanatic kamakazi soldiers would be stuffed with anti-tank teller mines, or neck-mounted panzerfausts; whose war-head would literally be their head (whose helmet would be a prussian picklehaube, the point being a stake).
The guns that they used were universally modified to operate with 7.62mm stakes.
artillery:
The vampires out-classed frankenstein artillery. But the frankensteins still were capable. They were much more adept with rocket artillery, appropriating soviet Katyushas, and firing them wildly and frequently en masse; often incurring friendly fire. Their conventional artillery would fire canisters of holy-water. What made Frank' artillery perhaps the most unique was its organization, it was at the regimental instead of the divisional level.
air:
Soviet Ilyushin bombers. and Yak-7 fighters. The max payload of their bombers was 5000 gallons of holy water.
tactics:
both sides wanted a quick and decisive war, but each sides advantages and disadvantages cancelled eachother out, sending the war into a quagmire. With armements suited for WW2, the battlefield soon mirrored WW1. The numerical superiority of Frankensteins would be offset by the accuracy of Vampire artillery. Conversely, gains made by Vampire tactical doctrine would be promptly halted by dawn; thus restricting operations to night-time; Frankensteins had no impediments during the day. The first year of combat was characterized by huge gains during the day-time, and huge losses at night, and vice-versa.
Vampires, on the defensive, were also very stubborn to dislodge. They soon learned to "dig in" during pre-dawn hours in order to maintain their positions for the proceeding day. They would build extensive crypts and catacombs at their front-lines, covering the 200m ahead of them with an array of barbed wire and anti-personel mines. Mummies, not affected by the sun, were posted as snipers and sentinals.
Exceedingly frustrating for the Frankensteins were Vampire Castles. Given that infiltration gave vampires the advantage, they're initial solution was to bomb the towers into rubble; this, too, provided vampires an unforseen defensive advantage, and mirrored the battles of Stalingrad and Monte Cassino. The only way to flush out the vampires in this situation was with holy water grenades (like castlevania!)

on the spire where Dracula's wife commited suicide, Lenin gave his most stirring speech:
These bloodsuckersw have waxed rich during the war... These spiders have grown fat at the expense of the peasents, impoverished by the war, of hungry workers. These leeches have drunk the blood of toilers, growing tghe richer the more the worker starved in the cities and factories. These vampires have gathered and continue to gather in their hands the lands of landlords senslaving tiem and again, the poor peasents. Merciless war against these kulaks! Death to them!
Judaism: how did judaism spread to europe? Christianity spread through the adoption as the official religion of Rome. Islam, through adoption from hundreds of states and empires. Even Chechnya owes its Islamic heritage from the Tatars, whom converted at the behest of the Turks.
BUT. no nation ever endorsed Judaism. making it really suprising that it would actually spread beyond the borders of Caanan, furthermore, Judea ceased to exist as a nation after the Roman annexation; so, except for regional influence, it lost its national support.
As we all know, its one of the Jewish M.O.s that they would be a people without a nation until the creation of Isreal. But there had to have been a mass exodus to Eastern/Central
Europe at one time for them to colonize; Once again, there are countless other non-nationalized regional religions; for instance the pagans of Lithuiania, they too, would have migrated into other parts of Europe as a minority.
