Okay DT. But a few things to consider which I'd like to take a little at a time. When did the Dons meeting take place? I say summer of '46. Why? Well, Vito is returned to the mall from the hospital in February '46. Once Sonny is murdered, Vito rises from his sickbed. So, if the truce was made in '47 or even '48 as you state above, then Vito lay in his sickbed from February '46 until .... ? If until '47, then he lay there 10 months. If '48. even longer. Plausible? He was 60 years old at the Dons meeting. His birthday was in December of '45. He had been shot 5 times. Is it plausible that he was in his sickbed for almost a year? Yes. But I maintain that it's only plausible, but not likely. So, if Sonny is murdered during the war of 1947, then, indeed, Vito lay in his sickbed for at least 12 months and, thus, one element of your timeline fits.
