Re: Great Britain makes peace with Hitler in 1940
Ok very interesting and obviously you have put a bit of time into this however, do you really believe britain would stand by and watch Greece and Yugoslavia be invaded by the axis forces?
Plus they British would still have gone to war because of Japanese expansion thus starting a war with all axis forces again.
But with the invasion of the Soviet Union I doubt the Germans would have enough men to attack russia and change the actual outcome of ww2, they wouldn't risk leaving only garrison troops on the western front against 'peaceful' france and britain, and had they left enough proper front line troops with air, artillery and tank support on the western front then in my opinion they woudn't have had eough troops to engage the soviet union with.
Now once the USA was at war with the Japanese, because of Japanese expansion Britain would be brought back into war(as I said above) thus the americans and english would ally with each other in support, eventually leading to a somewhat different D-day. If france somehow stayed neutral in all this then the eventual D-day may have been more diffuclt for the allies but still due to the germans being engaged on two fronts already it would end the same. However if France did declare war with the germans it would make the invasion of Germany a hell of alot better and easier. Becasue the English and French would have full armies not previously properly engaged in any battles due the armistice, as well as the whole RAF (not lost at the BoB) as well as the French navy able to participate in any landings, also france would have an opening into the north of italy allowing the allies to attack the 'soft underbelly' of europe making it four fronts for germany to defend(Soviet, North France, South France below Switzerland and the Italian pennisualar).
You have left out in your timeline the capulation of Norway, Denmark, Belguim, Luxembourg and Holland I doubt the English would 'let' the germans just walk into these countires just to avoid a war. Plus if this armistice had taken place there would be no 'Vichy france'
I doubt that the soviets would lose so many battles one after another you must remember the hugh man power russia could call on and the amount of armour that could be produced in a relatviely short time, the Germans would just be overrun the same as the historical ww2.
Sorry mate it just dosn't sound possible.
