Hitler knew the risk of a second front but he gambled anyway. The early success went to his head.

If he had consolidated in Europe and tackled Russia piecemeal.

Still, what he didn't achieve militarily......Economically a few generations later....blah blah blah.

And 70 plus years later not many Jews left at all in central and Eastern Europe. Their communities disappeared for ever. What an abominable cvnt he truly was.

Yeah, I'd rate him just behind Joe Stalin.

Many left for the creation of Israel for obvious reasons.

However, we have seen Jewish populations declining in Europe at higher rates in recent decades.....again, for obvious reasons.

But I don't want to get into that chestnut here.

In general terms of how the UK would have been treated....Hitler would have treated us better than Stalin....though obviously not if you were Jewish.

Hitler had pan European elements to his future thinking ...Second class citizens to a German idealised 'Sparta' state.

Stalin....I have no idea what he would have done if he'd gained world hegemony.....Soviet Poland is perhaps an example.

I thought this thread was supposed to be about Dr.Who, has turned into Dr.No.

Again, this is not taking into account the effort required by Germany to fight on several fronts.

Were the Allies not in the War, Russia would not have been on the offensive at all.

America could have won the War alone against both Germany and Japan but the time frame for that is obviously unknown. It is certainly conceivable that Japan could have occupied Australia and New Zealand within that time. It can't be proved or disproved.


In 1941

There Germans weren't not really. They were fighting in Africa, but the Africa Korp weren't likely to be committed to the Eastern Front as they would have needed to be entirely re-equipped, and had been committed to North Africa long before the Germans planned and launched Operation Barbarossa.

The UK and US war effort in support of Russia was purely the provision of logistics until the invasion of Sicily, by which time the German Eastern Front was in retreat and the German offensive at Kursk was smashed - By that point the German army on the Eastern Front was beaten.

Of course they did have to occupy Europe, but the UK was in no way ready to launch an invasion of Mainland Europe until 1944.

The second front, with the invasion of Normandy sped up the end of the war, as did the invasion of Sicily (which prevented forces being redeployed to the Eastern Front).

Similarly, the Japanese forces were engaged with and fighting the British in the far East, before the attack on the US and Pearl Harbour. If they hadn't attacked Pearl Harbour, then yes, its conceivable the Japanese could have targeted Australia - But once it committed to fighting the US, it lacked sufficient naval capacity to both defend against the US and to launch a land invasion across that kind of distance.

The Japanese fleet could not have provided air cover from its fleet for both an invasion of Australia and the battle of the Pacific fleets. Had they tried to invade Australia, without naval protection, their ships would have been decimated by the Australian and New Zealand airforce long before they got close to landing.

I dunno about that, I'd say the difference really between the two, is that Hitler probably was less inclined to have you murdered if you were good at your job and popular.

The Nazi's were particularly brutal with anyone who spoke out. They executed Sophie Scholl and her brother for distributing an accurate account of what was happening on the Eastern Front.

I don't think it is possible to predict the outcome of a German/Russian war without allied involvement. It changes the whole picture. We would have to assume no European invasion by Germany, no fighting in Africa and only guess at the timing and deployment for a German offensive in Russia.

Had Japan not attacked America and just expanded in the local region then Australia and New Zealand might have been targeted. There are too many to variables when dealing with human decisions and of course, none of this would have happened without triggering action by other nations at some stage.

If I could go back in time I would not want to just kill Hitler. I would want to kick him repeatedly in the bollock and explain to him what a negative effect his stupidness would have in Europe for people of my fathers generation and mine and the effect it would have on politics for the foreseeable future where loony left wingers could support the ruin of our countries via mass immigration to line the pockets of corporations and prop up government short termism using his murder of the Jews as reference to justify just about anything.

I'd probably make a stop off for Stalin, Lennin and Trotters just to get the full set, probably a bit of Mao as well.

I'd be curious though, what would have happened if Hitler wasn't born or died before becoming the leader of the National Socialist party of Germany. Would it avert the war, would the outcome of the war have been different? Could we be speaking German if the Military command had been answering less to a political idealist, than a pragmatist.

I think its reasonable to say that had the Germans not attacked Russia, then the Africa campaign and Eurpoean Campaign of the allies would have been very different, given the sheer amount of German military resources that were destroyed on the Eastern Front - and these would have been deployable sufficiently to reinforce Northern France and Italy, as well as balancing out air superiority.

Ultimately, I suspect that the US and UK with Commonwealth would have prevailed against Japan and Germany, but it would have either have been a much longer war or a negotiated peace.

The Normandy Landings were tight as it was. Throw in the kind of resources Germany used up on the Eastern Front, maybe Germany forces a stalemate or retreat. Certainly, the invasion of Sicily and Italy, with those kinds of additional resources is a much harder offensive.

I don't see a reasonable scenario where by the actions of the allies prevented the defeat of the Soviet in such a significant way.

By the end of 1941 its really about how far the Soviet Red armys are going to 'liberate' Europe.
