Default Re: What did Germany need to win the war?

Very well Za, here is another attempt.......

Algeria and Saudi Arabia might very well have become the next countries on the list of German occupation. With no other countries forces present ( with the destruction of the British troops ) Germany and her allies might have very well gone unchecked.... At least for sometime. With an occupied Africa this also cuts off the American landing.. Also a German navy might not have been necessary in the mediterranean since there was no opposition. So the Italian navy might have faired pretty well with policing. As for the logistics, Miguel my friend as you are the engineer this would be your field of expertise, all I can do is just assume or guess at best. I would imagine maybe a tanker or some sort of pipeline... ( yes I understand that this sounds unrealistic so please excuse my ignorence on the matter ) In terms of a time frame, I would say that this would depend on when the war might have come to an end. Great Britain would really be the tricky part, if Dunkirk played in favor for the Germans and an extra 30k British prisoners from Africa, with the U-boat blockade of the main island and NO declaration of war on the US, might have this been enough to force Great Britain into surrender in return for all of its prisoners? or a full out invasion of the Island? Overall my hypothesis for a Germany victory might only work if the war would have ended and all of the following accomplished by no later then mid 42'......

I come to this conclussion based on Stalin's premise...... So if Germany can get all of this done before Stalin's war machine is at full strength then Germany might come out on top.....? With the war over, this might just give her enough time to do whatever it is that she might need in order to figure out the logistics for oil development and transportation?

Ok...... your turn to extinguish my silly theory!
