Could Germany have won WW2 without the US?

Even with everything noted above, Germany and its European partners could have still won the war were it not for Germany’s declaration of war on the United States on December 11, 1941. It was really the only time Nazi Germany had actually declared war on an enemy, and it needed not to have happened.

Could the Soviet Union have won WW2 without allied participation?

It is possible that the Soviets could have won the war militarily and advanced all the way to the Atlantic without Allied participation, given only the material aid from the Allies, if they were willing to pay the price.

What if Germany had fought on one front in WW2?

This proved to be a fatal decision for Germany. If the Nazis had fought on one front at a time, the course of the war could have been different. The June 22, 1941, invasion of the Soviet Union turned a one-front battle against a war-weary Britain into a two-front engagement.

What was the German response to the Soviet winter counteroffensive?

German forces never recovered from the Soviet’s winter counteroffensive. By late 1942, the Germans were fighting defensively in the Soviet Union. During World War II, one of Nazi Germany’s huge mistakes was declaring war on the United States.

Did de-Stalinization bring about better relations with the United States?

Of interest is that it is highly likely that during the 1970s and 80s, after the death of Hitler and the top World War II Nazis, something very similar to de-Stalinization would have took place in Nazi Germany and perhaps brought about better relations with the US.

Where are Europe’s Frontiers untouched during WW2?

At Europe’s frontiers lies Turkey untouched, having been neutral during the war. Saudi Arabia, receptive towards Nazi Germany’s anti-Jewish policies and her authoritarian ways, dominates the Middle East and controls all oil in an Israeli-free world.

What countries did Germany fight against in WW1?

During World War I – not to mention wars in European wars through the ages – Germany didn’t really fight alone. It had Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria on its side. That proved to be fairly well matched against Russia, France, and Great Britain – at least in the early stages of the war.

What if Germany had been on an actual war economy from 1939?

Had Germany been on an actual wartime economy from 1939 things could have been vastly different. Adolf Hitler joined a list of would-be invaders of the British Isles but clearly didn’t remember that no one successfully invaded since 1066 when William the Conqueror defeated Harold II, the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England.

Did the Allied powers have a victory parade in 1944?

Instead of the four Allied powers – the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union – then standing together in a final Allied Victory Parade in a defeated Berlin in September 1944, the Germans could have celebrated the defeat of the British, marching through London and Moscow as they did Paris.

What happened at the Moscow Victory Parade in 1945?

The Moscow Victory Parade on June 24, 1945, involved some 40,000 Red Army soldiers and nearly 1,900 military vehicles. The highlight of the event was the lowering of the captured German standards, which were flung down in front of Lenin’s Tomb – to be trampled by Soviet marshals riding white horses.
