Do I even bother replying to such a sweeping, unfounded statement... PactofSteel do you ever actually read other peoples posts or do believe in your own mind so much that discussion with you is pointless..?


1 - Who is going to build the landing craft? Germany has no experience or doctrine to do so. They wont suddenly come up with a way of landing materials easily on a beach. Look at how long it took the Allies to get it right with years of experience... But Im beginning to think you have a 'thing' for the Germans so logic and rationale wont be obvious to you where your 'Master Race' is concerned...

2 - Who knows what the harm would have been to wait a year? A Soviet invasion of Europe? British Forces moving up through Greece and the Balkans... If we apply the same logic to your flight of fancy we could say that in a years time the British may land in France and push Germany out as Russian invades from the East...

3 - People who fail to provide any form of historical precedent to their 'what-ifs' really aint worth bothering with...
