  1. WIf in 1941 the Nazi seige of Moscow succesfull

    Moscow had lost lot of its importance before and during the German push: + The Soviet Government had been evacuated to Kuibyshev + Bulk of industry had been evacuated + Part of the population had left the city + Basically anything valuable not nailed down was evacuated or about to be...

  2. WI Hitler goes through with the initial invasion plans for Czechslovakia

    Costly invasion shakes Hitler's confidence? Considering how strong the Czech defense-fortifications were -- even Hitler was amazed about that after gaining control of the area -- Wehrmacht would have suffered heavy damages during the campaign. Hitler's confidence would have been pretty...

  3. Hitler treats conquered Eastern European countries better

    If Hitler had treated conquered Eastern European countries better (equal treatment, promising independence, etc), would it have been enough to bring down the Soviet Union? - Less Soviet partizan activity -> more production and natural resources for Germans. - More pressure/restlessness...

  4. No Lend-Lease

    Soviet Union had a lot of tanks because they pretty much stopped producing locomotives, tractors, etc (tools essential to sustain a society in the long term). Without lend-lease (locomotives, tractors, food, etc) surviving in the long term would have been a rough path (collapse of order or...

  5. Stalin and War

    I think it's more realistic to assume that Stalin would have tried to create/setup "communist uprising" in France, Germany, etc - than to directly attack major European powers (as mentioned, Stalin usually only attacked if his chances of winning were high). _

  6. What if Nazis won and attacked America?

    Only way I can see any chances of Nazi attack to America: + Nazis invade UK, and get the Royal Navy to sail with the Kriegsmarine. + U-Boats manage to restrain at least part of the US Navy. + Japan attacks at the same time. _

  7. Hitler not anti-Semitic

    Well, Hitler needed a political tool (to take money from, to blame for stuff, etc). And since anti-semitism was strongly around during that era, Jews were sort of an obvious choice. Blaming for example Polish, but have resulted protests from Poland, but blaming Jewish could not result protests...

  8. What if Hitler focuses on Britain

    If Germany really focus their resources against Britain, it's difficult to see Britain repulsing the attack. How it plays after that depends on many factors: How long the invasion of Britain takes, US reaction (fully focusing on Pearl Harbor?), Stalin (hard to imagine he would stop...

  9. No Manhatten Project- what instead?

    Maybe all the money and scientists would have just been spreaded all around on different projects... Especially since US/UK didn't have that much demand for rockets during WWII. _

  10. Hitler wins in 1932

    World would think that nazis are in power (more) legally? _

  11. Himmler dies in 1938

    Less occult meetings at Wewelsburg and more efficient Heydrich taking over. And in 1945 Himmler just couldn't overthrow Hitler (no matter how much Schellenberg campaigned for it), Heydrich most likely wouldn't hesitate to do that. _

  12. Better preventive health in ACW

    Smaller armies ;-D It would have been easier to supply and upkeep smaller armies, they may have been more mobile and more hygienic. _

  13. WI Goering Dead?

    No independent Luftwaffe, but instead german airforce would be just an aviation component of the Wehrmacht? And since there would not be constant inner battles between Wehrmacht and Lufftwaffe, nazis actually finish building aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. And, as mentioned, maybe more...

  14. What if Japan went after the USSR on Dec. 7 1941?

    ROFL But were there any decent soviet formations or leaders left in Far East December 1941? _

  15. Rommel obeys Hitler's orders

    Not so many men, tanks and other resources wasted to Africa... Not that those resources decided the result of WWII, but everything counts. Maybe more stable Italy, without all the back and forth fighting? _

  16. December, 1941: German army destroyed at gates to Moscow

    Agreeing with Michele :-) The only way I can imagine (faaaaaar stretch) the Cold War in 1942, is that somehow: 1) German retreat starts a german domino effect, creating chaos and more fallback (generals disagree and do not follow orders, communications totally break down, weather breaks down...

  17. WI the UK and France said Go East, Hitler?

    ... ruling huge amount of natural resources (=making the winner almost impossible to beat in the future). :-/ I think the safer solution for UK/France is/was to keep both nations on the map. _

  18. Spain in the Axis

    I cannot see too many good things coming from the direction of Spain, as pointed out. Hitler really didn't have a great selection to choose his "major" Axis-partners from: Italy, Spain... Rumania... ;-) Japan pretty much being the only one which didn't need constant support or...

  19. Italy stays neutral

    Considering how high value Hitler placed on showing germans that there was a big alliance (lot of headlines for even smaller axis forces like Finland's Waffen-SS battalion) on the same side with Nazi Germany, he may have placed more pressure to Spain. But certainly that would have freed a...

  20. 1945 Pacific: Allies go home since Japan doesn't have fleet to supply Home Islands

    By 1945 Japanese merchant navy was in the bottom of the sea. They didn't have natural resources and they couldn't import them to supply any kind of military/civilian economy. So why didn't Allies just go home, collapse of Japan was pretty unavoidable? _
