What If? Alternate History: Speculate about WWII battles that never were. Could the Axis have won? What if Hitler had the bomb?

Thanks for clearing that up Redcoat. [img]smile.gif[/img] I feel much better now. I was pretty sure that the Canadians flew American planes, but wasn't 100% sure.

IMHO America won Midway with OUTRAGEOUS luck. Not merely luck.

The Americans had good luck at Midway, but it wasn't the deciding factor. The Japanese had bad luck at Midway, but that wasn't the deciding factor either. The Americans used the right tactics (partly by accident) and the Japanese used the wrong tactics (not by accident).

Victory in war goes to the side that makes the fewer gross mistakes.

Friedrich will become famous soon enough
I can't see it happening. We were not allies in 1939-1941. Except for Poland noone of both nation was assisted by the other on its military campaigns. Was the USSR helped by Germany to invade Finland? No. Was Germany helped by the USSR to invade Western Europe, Scandinavia and Great Britain? No.

Actually, they keep thinking that they did it all by themselves... [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Von Ribbentrop was having talks with Molotov to allow Russia to join the Triple alliance (Germany-Italy-Japan).

There were a lot of conditions which Hitler didn't wanted to fulfill. E.g.: withdrawel from Eastern Europe, no help to the Finish, ...

What if Hitler aggreed with these terms, in exchange to help to defeat the capatilists in Great Brittain and America.
