Syria is a special case, because it is actually the sole survivor of the old Nazi states.

13.   Germans would control the media.   (ba-dum-dum)

ONe slight correction to the author of the maps.  The Mason-dixon is no the delineation of the south and the north in the US.  Close, but no cigar.

But interesting mental game.  I have never seen what Germany would have done, except in Star Trek Episodes (or was that Star Gate?)

Y'all would be speaking German right now.

Actually, it's an interesting question. With the benefit of the 20/20 vision provided by hindsight, here's what Hitler should have done. Bearing in mind the cultural affinity of the peoples of northern and western Europe, who are all descended from the migratory peoples who eventually overthrew Rome, the Goths, Visigoths, and others, Britain should have done what Hitler expected it to do - ally itself with him against the French and the Bolsheviks.

Working together, the two could easily have developed an alliance that would have had the entirety of the European continent 'sewn up'. The attack against the Soviet Union should have been delayed even longer than it was, until the whole of the remainder of Europe had been secured, and it should only have been prosecuted after the fullest preparation for the Russian Winter had been made.

There should have been no declaration of War against America until after the Russian Behemoth had been utterly defeated - and every effort should have been made to keep America out of the War for as long as possible - because America at that time was the single greatest economic power in the world.

But if fleas could unite they could kill elephants.

Had Hitler done these simple things, the world would be a very different place. Neither better nor worse, but chronically different.

Are you kidding?



I do.

The Nazis had already lost the war by 1944. Like the Japanese they thought they were formidable but refused to accept that their cause was lost. The Americans, British and Russian machine had to continue with the war to crush them completely. The Reich could never have won.

With their V2s and heavy water experiments, I for one would not like to test that statement. We never "crushed" the japanese, and did not have rockets. But a couple of A-Bombs made them cry uncle very fast. I shudder to think if Hitler had gotten them first, how the world would look today.
