Good thing they stopped at Pearl Harbor.
(Couldn’t resist :)
They would have been slaughtered.
Considering the fact that they didn’t even have the sealift capacity to project their armies across 30 miles of channel, the question is a pure [and purely unintersting] hypothetical.
Invasion? WWLL. WWIII-The muslimes are being Invited Into OUR Nation..and Our Whitehouse!
We would not be celebrating transgender fools today as heros?
I actually think if WWII veterans could see in 1941 what American would turn into - they would refuse to fight.
The converse was easy enough. Even while fighting an entirely separate war in the Pacific, the USA invaded and conquered Germany, anyway.
The USA made more Liberty ships...than the Germans could make torpedoes.
Huge mismatch.
Wouldn’t have worked. The only way we would have lost a ground war on home territory was if Germany beat us to the bomb.
If Germany never invaded Russia they may have had the resources to at least stage invasions on Greenland or parts of Canada.
Being on a roll can be fun...
The DNC would have apologized for that “Jerry” and “kraut” stuff and asked what we could possibly do to ensure the Nazi’s feeling aren’t hurt.
A statue to Chamberlain would have been erected.
-—if it happened today.
There was an excellent movie made in the 60s called “It Happened Here” about a fictional German occupation of Britain.
In addition, everybody had guns. One commonality among the nations conquered by Germany is that private firearms ownership was heavily restricted or simply banned.
Shoot, they couldn’t even make the hop across the English Channel, even when they controlled most of the territory and resources of Europe, and the Brits were back on their heels.
The Atlantic is a bit more of an obstacle.
And the United States was and is exponentially more powerful than Great Britain.
Ha!
An old friend grew up in Nazi Germany. She told me that English was required in school so they’d be able to talk to their servants at the end of the war.
I suppose if they could have gotten some friendly government in South America (*cough* *cough* Argentina).......they could have begun building up on the Continent from there.
How the heck did the Slate editors let that one slip through?
There’d be a radioactive hole just east of Poland.
” an invasion isn’t going to happen.”
Already has.
