Question: Do you think Nazi Germany would have won WWII if they waited another year or so!?
I think so!. Why!?

Because Russia was attacking Finland and GB was ready to declare war on them!. Germany could have used this and joined sides with the British to attack Soviet Russia and capture a lot of their lands, and everything in between!.


Using this evidence I could easily make a correct prediction, that Germany would have won, and wouldn't have to worry about Russia when taking over Europe!. They would have captured the entire of Mainland Europe, and have begun taking GB!.
By the time the US would have gotten involved, it would have been too late!.

You are also forgetting about the two things that kept Britain in the war; her Navy, the a much more impressive fleet than the Germans, and the RAF!. Without control of the seas, no seaborne invasion could have taken place, and without air superiority the German flotilla would have been shot to pieces almost as soon as it left the ports!.

And, as Ogo pogo stated, the Soviet (not Russian) army was better suited to fighting in the winter, its tanks were easier to service, its soldiers more used to living off the land, and also used to Immense hardship!.

Hitler simply could not have won the war!. After the Battle of Britain, the chance to invade Britain was lost!. As long as Britain stood, Hitler couldn't conquer Europe!. He also made Napoleon's mistake of attacking Russia, which would've come back again and again no matter how many times Hitler attacked it!. The best Hitler could've hoped for was a temporary armistice allowing him to keep his gains in France and Germany!. (As was the pattern during much of the 18th century with Prussia!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you're forgetting about the main reason Germany's invasion of Russia failed, the Russian winter!. Germany wouldn't have been able to conquer Russia because there is no way they could have conquered the entire country before winter, once winter came it favored the Russians just as it did when Napoleon invaded!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They still would have lost -

Reason :

It's not that we are the best in the world!.!.!. It's just that, everyone else in the world SUCKS!

The Nazis had too much on their plate, and plus Hitler would not allow his generals to do their job!. He was into everything and crazy to boot!.
They would have won in Europe no doubt, if Japan would have invaded from the east in Asia to Russia !. This would have split their forces and reduced pressure on the Wehrmacht!.

Meanwhile - distance was our ally in the 1940's!. Nazis invading the East Coast - Japs in the West!. The 2 main mountain ranges: the Appalachians and the Rocky's would have allowed for a type of warfare not seen since 1775!. Hit and run tactics, until a truce or a sue for peace would have happened!.

Then Mother Green and her Killin' Machine would have recranked up, and we would have finished off the last 2 million or so!. Unrestricted bombing and unconventional warfare will always be a last option, but in desperate times they are the only option!.

Distance is no longer an ally now, but our 2nd amendment right, and our large number of vets at home(to train the population) will insure that no invasion is possible!. 260 million private guns and 60 million gun owners, with the proper distribution, every able body man, woman, and child would have 3 or more guns to fight with!. Every nation in the world knows this and that's why no one will try to mess with us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Because Hitler proved he was completely untrustworthy!. Nobody believed a word of what he said anymore!. All countries were busy rearming as fast as they could!.
Teaming up with the UK is a possibility, certainly!. In that case he would have looked east first rather than west!. Which would give the western nations (notably France and England) enough breathing space to beef up their armed forces!.

Smaller nations were doing the best they could but too late!. Take for example Holland!. It was conquered in 5 days, mainly for two reasons!. First of all the army was still in a very bad shape!. Most armaments were on order!. Secondly, the main line of defense was the Grebbeline!. This line was, you guessed it, under construction!.

Now, supposing the west got a breathing space because Adolf would fight it out with Stalin first, they would absolutely certain use that time to build up their defenses!. Coordination between France, Belgium, Holland and England would have been much better - if not an outright Allied membership for neutral Holland!.

I won't say Hitler wouldn't have atacked, he surely would!. But it wouldn't have been the walk over it was in real life!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
