He's 19 she's 14 y'all are just fucked in the head
People often ask why Viktor Krum chose Hermione when, in the movies, she’s portrayed as beautiful and he’s portrayed as a tall, muscular, attractive athlete. But the books present a rather different picture of both characters.
Book Krum is described as having a hunched posture, a hooked nose, and large feet. He isn't particularly impressive-looking on the ground, but on a broom, he's exceptional. In that sense, he and Hermione have something in common: neither necessarily fits conventional expectations of attractiveness.
More importantly, Krum is a man of substance. He's already a world-famous Quidditch player, yet he takes time away from the sport to attend Hogwarts and compete in the Triwizard Tournament. He wants to learn and challenge himself rather than simply bask in his fame. Throughout the Tournament, he demonstrates determination and a serious work ethic.
So why Hermione? Why settle for one of the girls who only seem interested in him because he's a famous Quidditch star when he can choose someone intelligent, studious, and capable of having meaningful conversations with him? Hermione offers him a genuine connection, and their correspondence after he leaves Hogwarts suggests that their relationship isn't based solely on physical attraction.
**Krum didn't necessarily choose Hermione despite her appearance. He may have chosen her because of who she was.** He could see beyond the same superficial judgments that other people might make about him.
And one more thing: the way Krum speaks English doesn't mean he's unintelligent. There's a tendency, particularly among monolingual English speakers, to mock people who speak English with a foreign accent, as though imperfect fluency in a second language somehow reflects a lack of intelligence. Ron occasionally displays this attitude towards Krum, but Krum's achievements and character demonstrate why that assumption is misguided.
Being a famous athlete doesn't make someone shallow, having an accent doesn't make someone stupid, and physical appearance doesn't determine someone's worth. Krum's attraction to Hermione makes perfect sense when you consider what the books actually tell us about both of them.

Most WW2 games start on 6 June 1944 because virtually nothing was going on in Europe until USA joined the chat
There's a reason most WW2 games start in 1941 or 1942.
If you start in 1939, you have two options:
1. Make it super easy for Germany to conquer Poland and France. They become little speed bumps.
2. Make it actually possible for Germany to lose early in the war, e.g. if the French did a full-scale attack in 1939 while the majority of the Germans were fighting Poland.
If you choose option 1, there isn't much for a French/Polish player to do other than just get stomped on, while the Brits and USA just sit there doing not much. All it does is delay the start of the "real" war by a few turns.
If you choose option 2, it's possible for the game to end really early without the big nations even getting involved, or to end up with a war that is so totally different to the historical narrative that is may well not be WW2.
Some games can pull this off. Most don't.
