Well redcoat you are right, one of the reasons that Operation Seelowe didn't commence was because Hitler "made the desicion" to attack Russia thus cutting his cutting lines to very acute strictness; it was also due to the BofB and the cost that the Luftwaffe paid to try to gain air control but were miraculously stopped by the RAF. [img]graemlins/panzer.gif[/img] As far as the possible attempt at Hitler and Hirohito simultaneously attacking the US, it is completely illogical. I think one main reason would be becuase anything the Japanese possible tried to send to Hitler anyway and any form we would have intercepted and quickly decrypted the message. Also due to the fact that even if Hitler did take Greenland and/or Iceland. He would'nt be able to maintain a decent if any supply route through the waters that Frederic John Walker hunted in. My little tid bit.
