Re: What did Germany need to win the war?
I believe that Germany should concentrated on Africa instead of Russia. Several crucial objectives would have been accomplished. The elimination of British troops in Africa, more allies from from countries like Iraq, more importantly Germany would have had access to all of the oil. With no war on the Eastern front, Germany could have very well figured out all of the logistics with the transportation of the " black gold. " Also Italian troops might have very well gotten the experience they desperately needed if they fought along side the Germans to begin with and took notes.
With all of this oil and an extra 3 million men not to mention more planning for the invasion of Great Britain, all of Europe might have very well fallen to the 3rd Reich.
