On the other hand the horror of mutiple nuke strikes might deter everyone from using nukes. In this timeline the UK gets nuked first albeit at invasion points which means large numbers of civs would still die. The trauma of WW2 would be so great that the british might forgo any involvement in future wars altogether. The french would also be traumatised by nukes since those german bases would be near french cities. The trauma of nukes would be far greater than in our world and they would not be viewed as war winning weapons not in the sense they are now. A prolonged nuclear bombing campaign that ends with a ceasefire but not total victory is very different psychologically from 2 nukes and Japan surrenders a week later. Its possible nukes would be viewed with even more revulsion now. The fact that the first use had to be on allied soil would change the myth of the bomb. And that has implications in politics.

The odd thing about this series is that the soviet union and germany suddenly possess a navy that matches the allies. How did this happen in such a short time? These countries both had laughably sized navies compared to the massive navies of the US and the UK. How did they create a massive navy without seriously hampering the other armed forces and the industry? How did the united states and the british simply let them outgrow their own navies? When germany tried to match the british before ww1 they utterly failed to match british shipbuilding. Now of course they have all of europe at their command, but how could they ever hope to match the american industry. An industry which I might add, is completely untouched by war, unlike europe.

[@GG-ir1hw]

Yeah literally this. Like even in the first episode. Moving three times as many men to North Africa seems like a smart idea until you realise even in real life barely any of the axis shipping to supply Rommel’s Africa corps actually got there. The Italian Navy wouldn’t magically perform any better. Also are we going to ignore superior allied code breaking skills? The cracking of the enigma could’ve still well occurred. Germany and the USSR had no naval landing experience at all even the two most powerful and experienced naval forces in the world on D day had trouble. Basically an attempt to invade would’ve been nothing short of a massacre for the axis.

[@brianlong2334]

Germany was capable of 20% of the worlds war making potential in ww2 the USA 42%, Soviet 14%. Germany didn't mobilise behind the war till 1944 far to late but they did that because of oil. Germany used under 300million barrels in ww2 Soviet used 800million barrels to 1billion, the allies used 7billion barrels. Japanese 35million barrels. Italy 10million barrels. The navys of Germany and Soviets have had like 5 years to build up so I don't understand that part of your comment. The Japanese had 705 navy ships in ww2 including subs. Germany almost 1,200 mostly subs yes. UK 1,800 USA 1,200 France also had about 200 ships most were scuttled by them but could still be recovered, the Italians recovered a few but mostly just took the oil from the rest. If we compare steel used for prodution in the navy the UK only used just more then Germany. My estimates are both at about 1.2million tons to 1.8million tons. Edit: But his number are very far off and he's actually been very biased towards the allies I would take any video he makes with a big grain of salt.

[@Telenil]

@@GG-ir1hw You are correct that the Axis couldn't have sustained any more troops in Africa historically because of Allied naval superiority. But British naval losses were still substantial in 1940-1941 because of German air attacks, with Malta almost starving after supply ships were repeatedly bombed from the air. The invasion of the USSR caused German squadrons to be re-directed to the Eastern Front, giving the Allies more breathing room. If you keep these planes in the Mediterranean, and add some Soviet onse for good measure, the Allies would not dominate the seas as completely as they did in 1942. I agree it's still a stretch to imagine the Axis matching the US Navy, but I think that's the reasonning for the Mediterranean and the English Channel being more contested.

1:36 Britain would be hard pressed to cover all of its southern coastline. A quick map check before devising this scenario would have bee advisable. Britain doesn't need to cover most of its southern coastline as its rocks and cliffs, there's very few beaches. This is why Britain is so hard to invade from this direction. You need to head far out west where the channel is many times wider or to the Thames estuary if you're serious about invading. Incidentally historically in the age of sail ships tended to sail down the Channel on the French side, not the English, because if there was a storm they could beach, on the English side if they were caught between two ports they'd be blown into the rocks. Even today pleasure boats and the odd cargo vessel have this problem. Hence the English side of the Channel is the most shipwrecked stretch of water in the world.

I respectfully disagree on this one Binkov, there's no way churchill would allow US to nuke the home isles; and how are these waves of US nuclear bombers getting into germany when you yourself said the germans have (defensive) air superiority? At most a handful would get through if that; also the German nuclear program was hampered throughout the war by allied sabatoge and the draining of resources on the eastern front; the soviet/german alliance could combine their scientific efforts and use facilities long out of the reach of the allies to test for bombs. Why would japan go to war in Southeast asia if they could just ask oil from the russians like germany did? You could probably argue their own pride, hatred of communists/russians, or russia already selling it to germany as an excuse; i just wish it would've been addressed. Not to mention the pacific theatre stays very stagnant despite the allies committing hardcore to europe for more time in our timeline with more resources too. Also after seeing the utter devestation of a nuclear bomb after its first couple of uses; it's highly doubtful they would've so liberally just dropped them on the french coast (god knows the free french would riot). The invasion of britain could go either way depending on naval support/the air battle as in the real life battle of britain the axis nearly completely broke the RAF; it's possible they could've completely destroyed their capability to fight effectively by this point. With the italians not royally screwing up in africa anymore they could also dedicate their resources/forces to help break the west.

I didn’t agree with much of the first row videos, but it was still semi realistic. This however is 10000% wrong. Britain would fall. The USA would have no where near this many bombs, they only had 7 by July 1946. The Germans would have made the bomb themselves with a couple of months after the Americans did. The Americans wouldn’t have the range to get to any targets in Europe after Britain was destroyed. Japan would have won the war in the pacific and would be pressuring the USA from the west while Germany/Soviets would begin pressuring from the west. By the end of 1946 the USA would be alone and hopelessly outmatched and out produced and would be forced to sue for peace losing much of their influence.

Wouldn't an isolated, exhausted and staving Britain seek a ceasefire? Not exactly surrender, but a peace treaty on unfavorable terms. The Axis would likely grant that, rather than mount an expensive invasion to obtain a piece of territory which would be a massive liability (how do they feed Britain without shipments from America, let alone the potential for asymmetric warfare). Britain would still be eliminated as a combatant, effectively joining the Axis. At this point the US abandons Europe to concentrate on the Pacific, so it's still Japan that gets nuked. There is then a ceasefire between Germany / Soviets and the US.

Followed with the fact that striking targets with nukes would be abysmal PR for the allies it could only be worsened by striking ports which are largely close to civilian centers. This would make atrocities like Hiroshima look like child's play when done repeatedly. Consequently, using terror weapons would at this point lead the Axis to go ahead with firebombing civilian targets and infrastructure in the U.K., assuming this wasn't already being done. The sheer potential of destruction brought forward by using nukes in a contested territory makes me think that they would be a last resort weapon the U.S. would reserve for its own defense.

Per discussion of production of atom bombs, the US developed three methods of enrichment at different industrial size plants. The problem Germany saw with enrichment was the problem the US ran into with the little boy bomb that used enriched uranium. It was very difficult to produce in significant amounts. But the fat boy bomb was made using plutonium made from uranium and which was much easier to produce. The US calculated that by the end of 1945 they would have 12 more bombs if needed and that its production would continue to increase to as many as 100 in 1946. However they were not needed as the war ended and since no other country yet had the bomb the US did not focus on building a large inventory of atomic fission bombs as they were already aware of and working on developing the H bomb or larger fusion bomb.

With peace at its eastern front and no shortage of resources, it would have gone for more heavier as well as precise ballistic missiles. They are simply more important than atomic bombs as atomic bombs have to be carried by slow moving (relatively) aircrafts. Miniaturization happened quite later so US would still require heavy nukes to be delivered.

A few things are profoundly wrong with the premises this video relies on 1) US industrial capacity was larger than soviet and german industrial capacity combined. It is thus not possible, even in principle, for the soviet-axis alliance to build up a navy which could displace it from the environs of the british isles. This does not even touch on the time it would take for the new axis to build such a fleet given their relative inexperience compared to the allies. 2) given the above, an oversight youve made becomes even more glaring - if the US both limits its effort in the pacific *and* takes resources away from the army to boost plane production number (which in actual history exceeded german and soviet plane production numbers combined) in what world is it possible for the new axis to maintain both air superiority over britain and acquire naval superiority, especially when attempts at aquiring the latter would cut into plane production? 3) a naval invasion of britain, as described, is impossible for 2 reasons beyond the above stated - a substantial portion of the british coastline, especially in the areas highlighted, are sheer cliffs. An amphibious landing cannot occur there, narrowing substantially the set of possible landing points. b, it is not possible to perform an amphibious invasion in contested waters. Beyond the landing force needing to actually survive, a constant stream of supplies must be shipped in to sustain the landing force. Contested seas makes this logistically impossible. 4) this point is somewhat minor, but there are various war goods the soviets relied on lend lease to provide which the germans simply could not replace at scale, namely rubber, for which the soviet had virtually no native rubber production ability.

[@louisperron4918]

@@Retrosicotte Exactly Binkov just forgets that up until 1942/3 the RN was the foremost naval power. The RN had major capital ships in every front of WW2. It beat Italy and Germany in the med, crippled German surface ships in the Atlantic and had a fought well against the Japanese all at the same time. Britain outpaced Germany and the Soviet union in ship building in real time and would in this scenario. It's not just raw materials, it's experience, logistics and training. It would take the Axis 10+ years before they coule even think about crippling the RN and that's not to mention the USN

[@tantainguyen4290]

Louis Perron The German navy was sufficiently abled to cut off Britain from supplies for quite a while, and that was including the fact that they are fighting a bitter war with the USSR and they were bombed by the allies. Now imagine if those two didn’t clash but instead cooperating. Further more, there were also the Japanese which in of itself had a big Navy that was beating the RN in the pacific before the US joined. The sheer amounts of production capabilities and resources and the navy of both Japan, USSR, Italy, Germany would easily complete with both the RN and UN . That coupled with the fact that the Soviets-Axis would also have the air superiority would also add to crippling the Allies navies. Edit: Also, in this timeline, Spain and Portugal would likely to also join the Axis and they also had a decent naval force.

[@Mike01029]

Great video but why isn't Spain in the Axis? The only reason Spain didn't join in real life is because of Wilhelm Canaris secretly convincing Franco there was nothing to gain from joining so that the Axis would have less support

[@bnw5435]

Even with the extra advantage in this scenario, operation Sealion would be an utter and complete waste of industry and resources. Any naval invasion is near impossible to carry out successfully. Just look at D-Day. Yes it was successful, but with a massive cost. So invading an island nation would be a strategical failure and would be completely impractical. It would most likely be a stalemate until the nuclear program pulled through and struck back at the axis. Otherwise, I love this scenario, as a whole it's quite accurate and has a lot of attention to detail. Keep it up!

I don't understand why the Soviets don't advance in Pakistan and China. Even Mongolia could have been involved in the conflict. In another "what if Video", India has riots after the capture of Pakistan.

[@MartinCHorowitz]

The US did substantial work on solid fuel ballistic missles during wwII, in our timeline they were not prioritized because we achieved air superiority , in this timeline they likely would have been built allowing for strikes into Germany. Us Guidance technology would have been good enough to hit a city but not guarantee a direct strike on a hardened target, also 2nd generation Atomic weapons and H bombs would have come on line quicker.

[@sebastianrempe2007]

Did you think about the fact that if the Germans will not fight against the UdSSR, they will put more Ressources in developing the nuklear bomb so the US advantage wouldn’t be that high?

[@nasimaakhter3422]

First of all the Soviets if they joined Germany would not have flipped against Germany unless Germany tried to invade them. Secondly the Soviets would be more powerful as most of their industries and cities will be will not be distorted which means as thy don't have to fight a huge land war they will focus their attention on building a navy and air force German engineering help will also go a long way. USSR will be closer to US as they are not gonna be taking millions of loses and just focus on production and better quality equipment like the IS tanks . Germany and Soviets after seeing the Atomic bomb will defenetly be scared and scramble to make their own all focus will be on air defence and the German nuclear project with also the help of Soviet KGB who knew about the bomb. Conclusion: a peace treaty Willbe signed mainly in the favour of the Germany and Soviet. Japan would have to return a lot concurred lands to Us, Australia and many countries.

[@virescentmorsmordre9568]

You should take in account that it was the Soviets who faced 150 (or 160?) of German divisions while the allies faced only 3. Now imagine these vast numbers combined. Britain would not stand even the smallest chance. And considering the fact that the USA would have to concentrate most of it's navy against the Japan, the Axis would eventually take over it's biggest obstacle, which is America. The rest of the world would probably be piece of cake. I'm really glad that the Soviet Union was against the Nazis. And when you think about the future after ten or more years, even if the Axis somehow magically failed to occupy America during the first attempt, they would eventually develop nukes for themselves and of course, rockets into space. They would be winners.

Exactly, it makes the entire thought experiment invalid.

[@gregorymckenna2727]

The Soviets were actually ahead of the Germans in theory. Their lack of practical progress between 1942 and '45 was more the result of resource prioritization (namely, they had to concentrate on conventional war production to the near-exclusion of everything else). With the Soviets not being as hard-pressed, they could actually have started their nuclear program as a construction program earlier and made considerably more progress, though they likely still would not see results prior to 1946 or '47.
