[@AudieHolland]

Big point of correction: Hitler wanted to invade the USSR ever since he thought up that the true destiny of Germany lay in the East. The war he fought against the Western Allies was just to settle the score from World War I and the humiliating Versailles peace treaty that followed it. Also, he probably wanted to neutralize the Western Allies so he wouldn't have to fight a two front war. In the west, apart from neutralizing France and Great Britain, there wasn't much to get while in the East were the riches and resources of the Soviet Union: oil, coal, grain, space for German colonies, etc. etc. In Hitler's grand vision, he would dominate the European mainland with a Greater Germany or Third German Empire stretching all the way to Moscow. Britain would not be able to interfere on the continent, even if he had allowed them their independence by not invading (even though he never could invade because Britain was an island nation and the British fleet still ruled the waves.

[@edmel144]

Germany and Japan wanted what France and the UK had ‘an Empire’, part of the justification for colonialisation was to bring civilisation to the ignorant, Nazis viewed the Slavs as France viewed Black Africans. Hitler did not want war with England.

[@pissyourselfandshitncoom2172]

Correction : He didn't fight the Western war to settle the score from the first war, in fact he didn't want a war with the west at all. Germany pushed east into poland as planned in generalplan öst, but then France & Britain declared war. Had France & Britain NOT declared war, Hitler would have been elated, and he would not invade France to settle some old score. It would be status quo antibellum in the west. His vision was always eastward (it's been the Germanic mindset for 1000 years at least), but France and Britain interrupted that. Maybe Hitler should have taken an eastward first policy, and just set up passive defenses on the Rhine, since France was unwilling to invade Germany. Germany could have focused 99% of their resources east, unimpeded, while the British drop leaflets and France sits in the Maginot line camping.

Also the Japanese army is pretty primitive compared to the Soviets, a T-34 was superior to any Japanese tanks, the Japanese had few tanks, and the few they had were inferior. Plus Japan was already stuck in a stalemate with China. As for the Soviets invading Germany, its possible, it depends if the Soviets have time to restore their officer ranks. They failed vs Finland because all their good officers had been purged. By 1942 they should have a new batch of well trained officers ready. If Germany gets caught off guard its game over for them, unlike the USSR, Germany doesnt have much room to retreat in, the border with the Soviets was within driving distance of Berlin.

The army and party were purged because there was a legitimate threat of a nazi coup, the Marshal of the Red Army Mikhail Tukhachevsky was a literal nazi sympathizer. The reason the purges caused so much chaos was because Nikolai Yezhov, the NKVD chief (who was not supervised by an government official) used the situation to cause internal trouble within the party and make the people angry with the Soviet government, that is why he was later executed.

[@phaenon4217]

Essence of Order The Kantokuen plan to invade Siberia AFTER Barbarossa happened suggests otherwise. Notably it was cancelled a week before launch in July; not long after the USA started the embargo agaisnt Japan. It's a thousand times more likely that American led sanctions that depleted Japans oil reserves made any quests into the USSR a doomed plan anyway. No oil means no fuel which, means no aircraft, tanks and trucks -- a total collapse basically. Again, more armchair generals suffering from hindsight delusions completely ignore economic factors and how it alters grand strategy. Siberia seriously had no infrastructure or known resources (in 1941) that would benefit Japan at all; The only purpose was to drive Soviet influence away from Manchuria, but if you can't even maintain logistics in theory it's easy to see why they quickly pivoted south to capture more resources.

Even though the right wing is gainning popularity, marxism and other socialist ideologies still have a greater grip, probably KZbin just wants to avoid unnecesary arguments and problems relating to leftist angerment. Also, I just think that there are some big problems with blaming those millions of deaths to communism. Millions of innocent people died at the hands of communist leaders purges, tortures, lynches, etc. around the world. Millions more died from starvation at communist countries around the world. You blame all these deaths to the ideology of communism, now, following that logic, I could say that even more had died at the hands of capitalism. None of us can have an idea of just how many millions of innocents have died due to political reasons, to capitalist governments And, If we take in count how many have died due to starvation around the world in capitalist nations, we would have pretty much a billion deaths or so, and still increasing every day because of places like Latin America or Africa. None blame those deaths to the ideology of capitalism so why do we blame those other deaths to communism? Sorry I have such a bad english.

[@TheMann_YT]

Cody, I think this video was pretty good, but it was too basic for me tbh. I kinda want a video with an actual scenario. If Britain we’re going to surrender in 1940, it would be under the leadership of Lord Halifax. Halifax was initially the first pick by Chamberlain, but Chamberlain picked Churchill instead. Halifax supported to have a peace deal after the fall of France. If Britain did surrender, Western Europe (Low Countries and France) would have been autonomous but under German Influence. Poland wouldn’t exist, and Italy would’ve gotten barely anything from the war. In fact, what happens to Italy, do they continues to war against Britain and lose, or invade Greece and lose. That would be interesting. The Soviets were actually preparing to strike the Germans in ‘42, but Germany beat them to the punch. If Germany was fighting a defensive war, I think the former Allied powers (France and Britain) would prefer to support the Germans over the Soviets. Hell, I’d think they wouldn’t even support any side. USA and Japan would still go to war, and I think Germany would not even declare war, as they couldn’t attack the US and the US couldn’t attack the Germans. The war with Japan would end the same way most likely, with Japan unconditional surrendering to the US. There would be no division of the Korean Peninsula and China would be under mostly Nationalist Control, as the Soviets would most likely not intervene by invading Manchuria. I think Germany would have a better chance of winning, as they have access to oil from the Middle East, so they would be better equipped and armed to fight a long term war. I think the war would end with a mild victory for the Germans (Only gaining control of the Baltic States, Belarus, and Ukraine) as Germany doesn’t have the men it recourses to take all of Russia.

[@TheWeedIsland]

The Mann Italy would have gotten the part of France they claimed, probably some parts of the African coast too considering Hitler's previous generosity and would definitely have been able to take out Greece on their own after the fall of Britain since they could focus their forces on just one target.

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

The Mann Regarding Italy Mussolini also expected Britain to call for peace after the fall of France, and Italy would probably take all English-controlled land facing the Mediterranean, since Mussolini wanted to realize Mare Nostrum. Also in this timeline we could probably see another Balkan war between the neutral countries (basically Yugoslavia and Greece) and the fascist ones (Italy, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria). Since the UK just exited a war and both of the neutral nations were still authoritarian they would not help them and without the African front Italy will not use only 5 division against over 20 to invade Greece. So we would see almost all of Europe under Axis control except for Portugal and Turkey, with the Axis powers also controlling most of North and West Africa, most of the Middle East, Indocina and Indonesia.

[@lukadinicc2229]

The Mann look at the army numbers. USSR being prepared in the great patriotic war? Germans would be even worse off. Cody didnt said this but the german doctrine was offensive not defensive. German tanks were harded and took longer to produce then soviet t34s/kv1s. German equipment was all in all good but heavy on industry. Again speculations and what not but i dont think Stalin would have not stop even at over 10 million of his army killed in the offensive.

[@Maximitus96]

[@sergeantassassin3425]

No, we'd still have it...it just wouldn't be as popular due to how relatively recent WWII is. Napoleon made that mistake back in 1812, and the Russians did the same thing then that they did in WWII: Scorched Earth policy. Constant retreat, fighting all the time, and leaving zero resources behind in your wake, eating/killing/burning anything that can be used by the enemy. This forced enemy supply lines to stretch to their breaking point, making further invasion become nearly impossible as Russian land was so large and vast, getting deeper into it without properly established supply routes became suicide. Then winter hit and...well, you know the rest. The Swedes used to have an empire (shocking, I know), and they tried something similar earlier on in 1708. Same tactics, same result, same crippling depression. We should be less looking at how "impressive" the Russians are at resisting invasion, and looking more at how retarded the enemy commanders were for conducting this shit in winter, without any winter gear, or winter preparations, and then expecting everything to go fine without it. It's like walking into a fire with the expectation that you won't be burned. Just because you believe hard enough does not mean that logic is just suddenly going to fall by the wayside. You still get burned alive, and the Swedes have now been reduced to IKEA salesmen.

What if England and France had never declared war on Germany after the Polish invasion ?

[@Beamboy555]

casbott England and France were already preparing for war as they knew Htlwr would invade Poland so war was inevitable in 1939. If they didn’t I presume Germany would have just attacked Russia and probably would have been supported by the USA. Yes the allies would have declared war on the USSR if Hitler agreed to fight with them. If they did not nuke japan and saved it for the USSR then Russia would have been forced to surrender although this would look bad on the USA after an entire war of portraying the USSR as close allies.

if you ban the swastika, you have to ban the red star along with it. here in eastern-central europe that's a somewhat different issue compared to west, and by the looks of it there isn't much censorship over that, and i am 100% sure antifa supporters use youtube. for example google "moscow death brigade", that's a very political antifa-supporting rap/hardcore band. Or if we're at it, we can make an argument for banning islam symbology - which would probably had very strong grounds, but the open borders pc and tolerance crowd would probably would show me anything but tolerance and would try their best to eviscerate me and hang me by my small intestines - if the wahabbists wouldn't find me first. But if we're at it, christianity also had their fair share of killings, anti-christians love to bring up the crusades, heck, we might as well ban the cross too if we're at it. I know i had quite a few logical leaps in here, but I hope you get my issue with this. Let them use the site. Let them speak, learn their arguments, and try to shut them down with logic.

I normally tend to agree with your scenarios but this one is way off. Churchill was PM in May 1940 - Chamberlain is out of the picture already and France still hasn't yet fallen. You're right that Hitler expected Britain to come to terms after the Battle of France and is perplexed at Churchill's intransigence. But Churchill knows that any attempt to invade Britain would be a massive risk and logistically doubtful, so Britain can sit tight and try and get the US interested in joining in. Hitler can't knock Britain out of the war, but on the other hand Britain can't do a lot to impact German forces on the continent. All Hitler has to do is sit tight and keep the Italians from falling apart in North Africa and the Med. The logical outcome of this is stalemate. The British are not strong enough to invade the continent (but can cause trouble via support for Resistance units) and the Germans are not strong enough to invade the UK. Without US or Soviet involvement this will settle into a bombing/blockade war with some armies deployed to North Africa to fight a proxy war. In some ways it begins to mirror the Napoleonic War where France controls the continent but Britain controls the seas and has to pick away at the French army in the Iberian peninsula. So Hitler has to weigh up the following questions: 1) how much does he fear a pre-emptive strike by Stalin? 2) how much does he need oil & is it better to try & prise it from the British in the Middle East or from the Russians? 3) can he afford to treat Britain as a non-imminent threat and concentrate on Stalin? In reality he gambles that he can take Russia in 1941 - the air raids over Britain begin to decline early in the year as squadrons are moved east. In your scenario he should have focused on pushing the British out of the Mediterranean (why didn't the Axis powers ever invade Malta for god's sake, it was a massive thorn in their side when trying to re-supply the Afrika Korps). Basically, steal the bulldog's bone and don't hit the bear. Perhaps Stalin would have come for Hitler after 1942 anyway, but whatever way it pans out Britain is still in the fight - and now have an alliance with the US because the Japanese attacked British Malaya at almost exactly the same time it attacked Pearl Harbor. So the other key question is: why the hell did Hitler declare war on the US, thereby automatically bringing them into the European theatre? He really was a twat.

[@PhoenicksUK]

@A M A Z O The USA's supply and lend lease whilst still neutral certainly helped, but don't forget that in 1940 Britain still had a massive empire & the biggest navy in the world, and was ramping up home food production in a way the Germans never did. Plus, the rapid evolution of convoy tactics & Intel decrypts meant Britain could have stayed in the war even without direct US aid. Would have been grim, though.

[@chrislambert1617]

Nick, I thought your note was excellent, but it should have said more about the fact that Nazi Germany had no access to a "free flow of Oil" which was imperative to their long term struggle and goal. In the end the Russians Military "Crushed the German Armies" and these German Armies failed for lack of "a free flow of Oil" because the British Navy blocked the Oil imports

[@chrislambert1617]

Nick, In Churchills History of The Second World War, Churchill Himself recognized that "we could go on, but they could not" Just like as in the olden days of the Napoleon struggle, the 1940 period could become perhaps 10 or 15 years long, but we could go on they could not.

[@eraldorh]

@A M A Z O Britain would not have starved, it had a massive navy and an empire to feed it. If you look at the size of its fleet especially its supply ships you would realise the germans had no chance of starving britain.

[@professortbag]

I think the biggest issue with this video is the fact Britain wouldn't have surrendered. It would have sued for peace.

A surrender would have resulted in German occupation of Britain and this wouldn't occur.

[@ETLee-db6cn]

Professortbag: My opinion also. Britain wouldn't surrender under the conditions in mid 1940, but making peace (no territorial or military concessions) was conceivable, with Churchill out of the picture - Chamberlain or Halifax as PM instead.

[@GGYGYU-es1dj]

And to add to this, because britain just sued for peace, the Americans could always join in and pull a D-day when Germany fought against the Russians. So essentially, nothing really changes in the end as the result is the same.

[@nydydn]

@@GGYGYU-es1dj the Americans could join with GB as an ally against germany, but would they? Their greatest fear was USSR for 20 years, why would they support it. Maybe they would have reluctantly made a deal with Germany to fight the russians, with the mention that Britain, remains under USA's sphere of influence, and China and Russia are partitioned between Japan and USA. USA could have done this with the idea of fighting the germans later at a better moment. Heck, they pretty much did the exact damn thing, but with Russia instead of Germany and with Europe instead of China and Russia. The world would have looked very different if not for Churchill. WW2 was not a two side war, but a (at least) 3 side war, maybe even 4 side war (if we add a possible chinese rise), in which everyone hated each other. WW2 was almost a big of a mess as middle east factions are nowadays, but at global scale.

You lost me at "Chamberlain never resigns." That is completely out of the context of the question here. Germany and the USSR agreed to partition Poland and hold their respective lines for 10 years. Poland's independence had been guaranteed by Great Britain after Munich, it was Hitler's disregard of that guarantee that led to the declaration of war by Britain, the stand-by-and-watch attitude of the Sitzkrieg months that undermined Chamberlain,and the fall of Norway and the invasion of France that finally forced him to resign and Churchill to take office. Hitler had yet to conquer France and had yet to even contemplate the Battle of Britain. Whether or not he later (over a year later) invaded the USSR is immaterial to the vents that brought Churchill to power. Some of these alt-hist pieces are interesting and well thought out. This is on the other end of the spectrum.

[@TheZombifiedGuy]

Yeah, that really came out of nowhere. Granted, it's hard to speculate on these things when there are so many variables in play, but that one should probably stay consistent because, as you say, it doesn't hinge on the assumption of this hypothetical scenario. Beyond that, the "Germany occupies Middle East" thing is also dubious; as far as I know, the proposed ceasefire (the one put forward by Mussolini and considered by more pacifist/pessimist British politicians) didn't involve such large territorial concessions. Hitler actually didn't want a protracted war with Britain at all, and it came as a surprise to him when they didn't negotiate. And that was seriously bad news in the long run because Germany was in no position to threaten an actual invasion. If the Blitz failed to break their will to fight and they lost the Battle of Britain (which is what happened), Germany simply didn't have the naval or air power to stop Britain from continuing to trade and maintain a large colonial empire it could draw resources and manpower from. Honestly, that and open lines of communication and trade with the US were probably reason enough on their own for Britain to hold on regardless of whether or not the USSR and Germany fought. It was of course a relief when Germany ultimately did decide to split their attention, but I think the video places too much emphasis on the idea that Britain would "surrender" if Germany hadn't invaded the USSR, which in any case happened almost a year after Britain had successfully defended themselves in the Battle of Britain.

Surely a more accurate title would be: 'What if Neville Chamberlain Never Resigned?' seeing as it is the entire foundation of the scenario. The fact that barbarossa did not happen, in this scenario, was all based on the idea that Chamberlain did not resign; so he could later surrender to the Germans, whereas the title implies that everything up to the point of barbarosa would have stayed the same as it did in real life. Furthermore, if Great Britain did surrender, the Germans would most likely have little to no trouble gaining access to the oil in their territories, as you touched upon in the video. This would mean they would be well prepared to go along with barbarossa, seeing as oil is no longer a worrisom issue in theory, to the Germans. With this, Germany would probably be ready for a operation barbarossa around the same time as it was in our history, perhaps bit later, however still a ways off until the Russians would be prepared for their invasion. with the Russians still preparing for their invasion; Germany would have nothing to really convince them to not go to war with Russia, as the 'two front threat' problem would be no longer there. So if anything, the whole scenario encourages Germany to invade and also heightens the outcome of such an invasion to be a lot more favourable to the Germans than it was in real life.

Long after Hitler sanctioned planning for OP Barbarosa. Our timeline goes Battle of Britain - UK survives. Then within 1 month the Nazis launch Op Barbarosa which they'd planned for over a year already. Here Churchill is not PM. UK capitulates by May 41. But Hitler had been planning to invade USSR anyway for over a year. So this doesn't add up. Also the whole invasion of the USSR was seeded with Stalin and Hitler's secret pact over Poland anyway and TBH wasn't much to do with the UK's war presence. The reasons given for Churchill not being PM are all external but to be frank this ain't close. Much of the reason for Churchill becoming PM are frankly internal and not be reductive but once the war started his anti Hitler stance was vindicated. The battle of Britain starting would always lead to Churchill coming to power. So yeah. This scenario is less about the USSR and more about what if there was no Churchill and the UK capitulated before Pearl Harbor.

[@calhopkins6492]

This seems to completely ignore that invading the USSR was Hitler's primary goal from the outset, it wasn't a decision he decided on after the war began. His whole dream for Germany going back to Mein Kampf focused on building a greater German Empire in the East, specifically in Russia, to make Germany a superpower. Supposing Hitler doesn't invade Russia is talking about a fundamentally different Hitler with a radically different agenda for Germany.

[@yarpen26]

Thinking of Hitler as this crazed ideological maniac who couldn't think pragmatically if his regime depended on it completely ignores the fact that he was fully willing to cooperate with Stalin against Poland. Him not going to war against the USSR would be a result of careful calculation, not any genuine sympathy. Hitler didn't lose his mind until after the 1944 assassination plot.

[@yarpen26]

Cal Hopkins First off, that still doesn't rule out the possibility of Stalin's preemptive strike, right after UK's surrender. Anything could have happened, really. Maybe Hitler would decide the Reich had already conquered more than it could chew and he would face strong internal opposition against continuing the war effort. Say that right after the UK surrender there are food shortages all across Germany. Is that the right time to start another war? And second, Hitler was just an extremist politician who changed his mind at a moment's notice when it fit his convenience. His Aryan theorists had to perform some major mental gymnastics to somehow make freaking Hungarians (Asian immigrants to Europe) more Aryan than Slavs just because geopolitics played out like this. To assume Hitler would remain in his convictions no matter what is downright silly.

[@calhopkins6492]

I'm not saying Nazi ideology wasn't inconsistent and full of holes, it was founded on an anti-intellectual conspiracy theory after all. Your examples are completely 'what if' territory though, which is my point. The only world in which Hitler doesn't invade Russia is where his internal mindset is vastly different, or the conditions in Germany are. Read Mein Kampf, there's an entire chapter called Eastern Policy, that explicitly states that Germany's destiny is to take territory in Russia. So yeah, if Hitler completely changed his mind and his priorities, then he wouldn't have invaded Russia. He also wouldn't be the Hitler we know today.

[@Grubnar]

If memory serves me right, Hitler promised Grossadmiral Karl Dönitz in 1935 that there would be no war for at least the next 10 years (so 1945 at first). What if, in this timeline, he was not lying, and really wanted to have the time to build up his forces, maybe mechanize the Heer, let the Luftwaffe develop a real bomber, and even make the H-bomb? And then when the Commies invade, he can play the victim, point at them and say to the whole world, LOOK! I WAS RIGHT ... WHO WILL DEFEND CIVILIZATION FROM THE RED MENACE WITH ME? Would be a helluva different war.

[@calhopkins6492]

@@Grubnar The Nazi economy was on the verge of bankruptcy at the onset of the war, and only sustained itself on the loot of conquest, so I'd say if Hitler puts off war for ten years then the Reich goes bankrupt in the early 40s.

[@promc7318]

your premise makes no sense. Churchill was already Prime minister when Germany invaded Soviet Russia. Britain was already on its own for over 1 year. Why would an event that (in this scenario) didn't take place in 1941 effect events in 1940? does Britain has a crystal ball in this time line? edit if you can be bothered to read: the scenario relies on Britain giving up... for some reason... Germany not invading Russia is not a reason as it wouldn't have happened yet when Chamberlain resigned historically so Britain would get Churchill. They would stay in the war. The US would.... eventually join the war and the soviets would attack the Germans. Germany would be fighting a defensive was in the East whist being invaded in the west. Sound familiar? It's what happened after Stalingrad but only this time every thing is happening later and Germany is not massively weakened so the first nuke is probably dropped on Germany and then they surrender in 1946/47.

I think he did the best he could with the limited resources available to him. He had to take the initiative and pursue the enemy. Time was running against the germans, the british were getting new supplies from America, especially the Shermans which were a lot tougher than the british tanks and outclassed the Panzer II,IIIs and Italians.

[@Pikkabuu]

Rommel should have never went beyond Tobruk as that only lengthened his supply routes and those were already stretched by the time he reached Tobruk. Going further just meant that Rommel lost whatever manpower he had and he didn't have the reserves to replace his losses! So as Rommel could never take Egypt it should have just remained in defensive and hold and allow the Eastfront to try and win the war for the Germans.
