The whole Hitler's war machine could not predict the results of the attack on Russia, and you want to predict what would happen if nazi did not attack? Impossible. Everything could happen.

Tin hats everyone!...

I'll just take it back to the aircraft question before I leap into the nearest slit trench...
Most of the development of military equipment is driven by actual conflict rather than its threat (just look at the difference between A/c of 1914 and 1918, and 1939-1945). If the Russians had not had to fight Hitler they probably wouldn't have developed anything that the Luftwaffe would have wanted to buy. |

When you invade Russia, you're not just fighting the people of the land, but also the land itself. As the germans learned, disregard the Russian winter at your own peril. Of course, it helps that the german high command was infected with a special breed of stupid when it came to outfitting their soldiers with adequate winter-gear. |
I don't believe that it was inevitable that the red and Black dogs would fight. Yes, hitler wrote "I'm camp - picnicing in eastern woods" but he also had secret deals with the soviets to train aircrews. How would this be possible if Stalin read his book and believed it ? He Obviously conned stalin that this book was a ruse to trick the western allies. It nearly worked!
There's been many examples of powerful armies being destroyed in Russian winters, Hitler should have taken these warnings. Germany and Russia could have been good allies, german expertice traded for Russian resources. There you go skinners, German aircraft with red stars V british supplied middle eastern states. Stuka II (IL2) V Great Britain. :grin: Damn scary scenario, all it would have taken is Hitler with an ounce of common sense .. glad he did have any. . |
