Yup. Liberals wet dream. Why? Because America as we know it would have been destroyed. Interesting show. Some odd ball stuff but we enjoyed it.

I’m listening to the radio news from that era and by mid 1943, everyone was certain the Axis defeat was inevitable and close at hand. By late 1942, we knew the Japanese were playing reduced to playing defense.
Once the Americans came in, Churchill was certain the war would be won by the Allies.

WWII starting in 1947 scenario presupposes that no “Manhattan Project” was started in 1940.

Some people will say,

“Yeah, but under such scenarios, would Jews have been safe in, say, Germany, the UK, France, or Sweden..?”

But the retort is:

“Are they safe there now TODAY, after their proxy forces won..?”

They’re *somewhat* safer today, but that margin is diminishing all the time:

They imported massive numbers of welfare-sucking Jew-haters who make no secret at all about what they’re going to do. You cannot stroll around major Euro cities wearing a kippa; sometimes it’s just nasty insults, often it’s a foot-chase and maybe fists.

Then, they set about that in the USA, also, though for now we only see the effects in Minnesota and Maine. There, the pattern is exactly the same, just earlier in the cycle.

And America’s Magic Dirt will, lo and behold, do nothing at all to change what they’ll do to Jews or the rest of America if (when?) they’re imported to the rest of the USA, either.

One of my Uncles was at D-Day... I’m not talking about what was on radio at the time ... or in the press. I was talking about family members who fought in World War II...

A luger or Walther pistol would accent even more.

They tried to be a bit more subtle and carry a Glock 19. They can claim it's not really German but Austrian. You're right though, the Luger or Walther would be perfect.

The Luger pistol has one of those distinctive styles.

Yup..! You're right --I looked it up:

Actor Johannes Banner was born in Austria, and he was Jewish, too.

Laughable. They never had the remotest ability to accomplish that.

I agree with you but the supposition is the war started in 1948, UK fell and the Nazi combined the French, Italian, Royal and Kriegsmarine into one Waffen Kriegsmarine. That would have been a formidable Navy.

"What ifs?" tend to be easily spoiled by asking "How?", which this article ignores. The German plan to invade the UK was never taken seriously by the Wehrmacht or Kriegsmarine. If Germany could not cross the English Channel to conqueror the UK, how could they hope to cross the Atlantic Ocean and conqueror the U.S.?

Then there are the economic realities, which really take the fun out of this. The U.S. economy was just getting into war production by the war's end, while Germany's and Japan's economies were burning out. By 1945 the U.S. was half the global GNP, and that share was still growing. Germany did not have the economy to fight multiple fronts and build super weapons in quantities to make any difference at the same time.

Most of the German "super weapons" cost too much and delivered too little. The V2s were hideously expensive and resource intensive for their results. Artillery and tanks were needed more than a few H Class battleships that would only be targets for the RN. Miracle weapons that were not winning the war and prototypes that failed to go into production, were putting a drain on the German war effort, a fact appreciated by Allied planners.

Germany tried to get Mexico as an ally.

“The Germans built one bomber to cross the Atlantic, but had little in the way of payload.”

I think the underlying idea is that if the Germans had built long-range bombers from the outset (which had its own problems), they might not have lost the Battle of Britain or the Battle of Russia.

Germany wanted Europe

They wanted England and America to go along

Only nation wants to occupy much of the American land mass is Mexico and looks like they are winning

“The only possible way they might have succeeded was if they got the A bomb first. But Hitler made that impossible as he’d run the best physicists out of Germany in the 1930s”

In addition, the OSS stole some of his best remaining scientists during the war years.

No “You Bet Your Life”

Or maybe there would be a show by that name with a different host and totally different rules.
