I hate to break this to you, but everyone knows that Stalin and Hitler were in a race to attack one another, and if the Bohemian Corporal didn't strike when he did, Uncle Joe would have when he was ready. Furthermore, the figures on Russian tank production were to illustrate Germany's shortcomings. Even without including Soviet production, Hitler falls short. The United States alone produced nearly twice was many tanks and self propelled guns as the Nazis.

As for German efforts to develop an A bomb, the program was so feeble it suffered because the stupid Germans were drafting physicists into the Army, and the Heer gave up on it in 1942 and handed it over to the Reich Research council. Like many Nazi armaments programs there was no coherent effort and control like the Manhattan Project and rivalries and infighting slowed progress. Even if they did develop the bomb they had no way to deliver it, and while a nuclear war in 1945 would have been disastrous, eventually all the Fatherland would be glowing after the B-29s had done their work.

Bye.

you changed the basis of the entire thread with what you say “everybody knows” - and frankly, I do believe it’s likely that Stalin and Hitler would have gone to war again with each other - if it had been delayed 2-3 years, the entire war would have been totally different.

You’re trying to act too smart by half…….you’re just being an ass
