If it's "what if" almost anything is possible. What if Neville Chanberlain forged some bigass non-agression treaty with Hitler and Germany didn't have to concern themselves with GB...and vice versa? That's what he imagined anyway. So Hitler takes over in 1933 leaning on his techies and the A-4 is the real deal in 1937 and the 262 is in production by 1939.

Whatever Hitler does he is unimpeded by GB or the US who has absolutely no business mucking about in European affairs and is wrapped up in the peace movemnents. If he wants to take on Russia he can do it as a one front expedition. All the men and matreriale squandered on the West and Afrika are thrust to the east. I have always found it a reasonable scenario- Germany vs Russia in a death match Germany wins.

If Germany had mixed it up with Russia and immediately destroyed all of its aircraft as it did anyway, they wouldn't have had the chance to do the fall back to the Urals and build more because a hungry, larger Werhmacht with more weapons and vehicles would have been there to keep pushing.

And by 1941 we'd have longer range surface to surface missiles and be into a nearly all jet inventory with the likes of the 2nd generation Ta 183.

Now if they'd a talked real nice to the Japs maybe they'd have done something naughty to the Russkies with that 3 miillion man army.
