If Hitler had done one of the following, could Germany have won WW2? And if so which one do you think would do it?
>Not declared war on the Soviets and just defended occupied Poland if attacked. The Germans and Soviets had divided Poland before fighting each other. Personally I don't think Stalin would have attacked Germany first as Hitler claimed.
>Built up a navy that could take on England and allow for operation Sea Lion to take place. I know this is less likely but do you think it could have turned the tide of the war?
>Focused less on tanks and more on planes. Chiefly not getting panthers and tigers and getting more jets and or radar. Germany had way too many tanks and not enough air power in my opinion. Tigers were solid though so maybe ditch something else.
>Focused on Atomic theory insetead of rockets.(V2/4) It is estimated Germany spent 25%-50% the amount it took the usa to get the atomic bomb on the v2/4 rocket programs.
>Not allied with Italy or not helped them in north africa. Huge waste of resources for no oil and Rommel could have been used elsewhere.
>Not declared war on the USA after Pearl harbor. Fuck Japan, fuck treaties basically.
If you don't like these list your own choice. Thanks!
first point: read up on the resource dilemma. invasion was the only way to sustain the war economy second point: lol. third point: its true that german air power was overstretched across multiple fronts, but having less tanks would mean disaster on the ground, especially in the eastern front, where its impossible for infantry alone to make progress fourth point: you want them to magically research nukes faster? they already scared away most of their brain power fifth point: debatable, I think its true that they couldve ditched the italians and allied with Middle Eastern revolutionary groups. read up hitler's last political testament and what it says about italy sixth point: US wouldve declared war on germany anyway

>no rrs, so lets invade for rss Why not just trade like normal humans?
so history gives americans an opportunity to self-hate ? wow i love history (kys)
Andrew Powell
>trading after pissing off everyone with resources

None of those would allow Hitler to win, (though not allying Italy sounds somewhat viable) the only way the axis could maybe win ww2 is if Japan invaded the Soviets instead of the U.S. >fuck treaties, basically Hitler technically wasn't obligated to declare war on the US in the first place, since it only applied for when a member of the axis got attacked.
Jackson Jenkins
Uncle Stalin had no intention in trading with Mister HItler. As a matter of fact, the invasion had a good timing, the soviets were still recovering from the army purges. IMO, had the invasion happened sooner, Germany would destroy URSS
Daniel Miller
lol spain bro, you bitches didnt even help hitler despite sucking up to him >muh blue division ok you sent like 50 people, you did less than romania.
maybe if hitler wasnt stupid he wouldnt piss off three super powers at once meanwhile exiling/killing all his hebrew magicians who could make nukes.
Best bet honestly is that Germany never starts the war at all and uses soft power instead.
Ian Phillips
He was fated to piss those super powers, a Nazi Germany thriving was against ((their)) interests

Helping Italy in Greece really fucked up operation barbarosa.. Germany should have gone sooner.. shame Italy sucked so badly

>not declared war on the Soviet Union and defended occupied Poland Could’ve worked and been a victory but Hitler wanted more of the and which was taken from Germany ww1 so this wouldn’t make sense also Hitler was in dire need of oil >built up navy that could take on England and allow for operation sea lion to take place Perhaps but would be impossible to pull off without allies being suspicious. The Normandy landing was a plan from the allies that took years of planning to do which was why it was so successful but if Germany did the same then maybe >Focused less on tanks and more on planes This wouldn’t matter since they would’ve ran out of oil anyway, plus tanks were very good on defense which Germany was on most of the time >Focused on atomic theory instead of rockets Hitler wanted conventional weapons not weapons that would take time to make. In Hitler’s own words he saw atomic science as Jewish science. Not to add Albert Speer gave the note that they felt they barley scratched the iceberg of atomic science >not ally with Italy or helped in North Africa This was more important and was more a knocking punch to the UK so idk about that one >not declare war on the USA They would’ve shitted out more supplies for the allies across the sea and the eastern front was already changing in the favor of the soviets by the time Americans buckled down so I don’t think so

All he had to do was take Britain and then take Russia. Hitler was by all means a tactical retard.

>Not declared war on the Soviets and just defended occupied Poland if attacked. No. Giving the Soviets a decade to get their shit together is not a good idea. >Built up a navy that could take on England and allow for operation Sea Lion to take place. No. Naval invasion of England was never going to work. >Focused less on tanks and more on planes. Chiefly not getting panthers and tigers and getting more jets and or radar. No >Focused on Atomic theory insetead of rockets.(V2/4) No. Did not have industrial capacity of US, could not have made a bomb in time. >Not allied with Italy or not helped them in north africa. No. If anything they needed to win Egypt and secure North Africa in the early days of the war. >Not declared war on the USA after Pearl harbor. Possibly. Roosevelt was pushing them into war in the Atlantic but if Hitler had played it cool it's possible the US would have had to direct its attention to Japan first instead of Germany first.
Best chance to win was to capture Moscow in 1941. USSR was a highly centralized state and may have collapsed if Moscow had fallen in the initial push. If that had been the goal from the beginning they could have done it too.
Justin Davis
injecting the wermacht with bleach to ensure they would be at least as white as the SS would have increased the chances of victory.
Matthew Campbell
>just take Britain bro you are the tactical retard
>Not declared war on the USA after Pearl harbor. retard, it was USA who was desperate for a reason to join the Allies and Japan just gave them that reason for retaliating USA draconian embargos (which were acts of war btw).

One of the major factors which contributed to their loss was the infighting within the Luftwaffes aircraft manufacturers. No one company focused on fighters or bombers. Hugo Junkers was very uncooperative during the prewar period until his death and spent millions of government reichmarks on paying his debts and developing dozens of prototypes instead of what he was ordered to develop.The production of aircraft engines was also a clusterfuck and instead of focusing on a few key designs they spent precious resources on Junkers jumo jet engines. Ernst Udet tried to streamline the process, but Hermann Goering had more political weight to throw around and eventually won out and kept the beaurecracy. Goering kept the Bf 110 in production even after its disastrous showing in the Battle of Britain. He would not allow any production of "defensive", interceptor, or long range bomber escorts. The Heinkel 100 was much faster than anything the allies had but was never mass produced. Not to mention that the Nazis had 1000s of tons of Sar1n and Tabün which never put in V1 or 2s. The decision to bomb civilians instead of airfields after the attacks on Berlin was also made in error.
>Just use soft power against world jewry bro.It's not like the Fed Reserve and mass media weren't already entrenched. They were gayoping the German American Bund in the 30s.
