good luck drilling for oil in the North Sea in the mid-40s, retard

No

They could have easily stopped Soviet expansion if they never declared war on the United States of America which is the only reasons the soviets didn't get steamrolled.

germany, for all of its shortcomings actually could have won on either front, had they not been stretched so thin between three of them. IIRC at one point they had 80 percent of their ground forces on the eastern front alone.
In pretty much every scenario, a 1 on 1 with every country except the united states could easily result in german victory.
The wehrmacht was *this* close to capturing moscow, an extra 20 percent of its resources tipped towards the eastern front could have been enough to tip it over the edge. And if russia had not been allies with US, france, UK, etc, in the process giving them massive access to tanks, planes, guns, small arms, as well as half of its food. Victory could have been even quicker.
Alternatively, had barbarossa not been initiated so soon, britain could have been taken in the next year or so.
>tldr; they were fucked because they had so many enemies, but if it fought them individually it could have ended in victory.

The most Leroy Jenkins moment in history

>Take ALL resources and rush Moscow
>Don’t be such purity spiraling faggots that you lose all your nations top Jewish Scientists/intellectuals thus losing your chance at getting the bomb first.

Given that they had 80% of their forces on the Eastern Front and still got butt raped, how much difference do you think an extra 20% would make?
>Britain could have been taken.
Practically impossible. They lacked air superiority, naval superiority and any experience in amphibious operations.

>Rush Moscow
>Still have hundreds and hundreds of kilometres to go to get anywhere near Soviet production centres

German top brass deemed atom bomb useless for their goals, it would take too long. They knew that if they were to stand a chance at winning that they needed to have a short campaign and by the time they lost or won the bomb would be irrelevant.

What said.
Also Nazi Germany was incapable of the cooperation involved in the Manhattan project, nor the cost involved.

>ENOUGH TALK SCHLIEFFEN LET'S DO THIS

>britain could have been taken in the next year or so
Haha, no.

No. Germany was doomed to fail.

They burned through all the ammunition they had doing fucking Poland (mind they would always have constant ammunition shortages, which continued to get worse), and their capacity for fuel production was fucking pitiful.

Couldn't happen.

Germany had no practical way to make an atom bomb, lacking proper materials. They did not give the subject much attention, likely because they figured it was a wild goose chase at the time, and they happened to be right.

No. Not nearly enough manpower and industrial might to win the war, just was not going to happen. Any attempt of a British mainland invasion would be a guaranteed failure, even if the Germans got moscow, it wouldn't stop the russians. They basically steamrolled Poland and france, and were just like "what now." They should have negotiated peace right there and kept their gains, instead they kept fighting and got raped and slaughtered into submission. Costly mistake.

No. They should have made a non-aggression deal with Russia. They could have easily repelled and massacred allies if there was no Eastern Front.
They could have conquered that smelly island and the Europe wouldn't be a 3rd world shithole like it is today.

Go read a book some time.

not to mention the fact that their nuclear theorists were Jews, who they exiled. iirc a post war investigation revealed that if Germany diverted ALL of their available resources into the nuclear program, they wouldn't have a functional bomb until 1947.

If that. How much uranium did they have?

...

Nope. Germany should have focused on taking Africa and the Middle east after securing France. This would have solved the Nazi fuel shortage and changed the entire dynamic of the western front.

Barbarossa was pure idiocy.

hey beter lamo

Here come all the arm chair generals thinking they're so smart with a century if history to nitpick
