In a world without the U.S.A., the most probable outcome would have been him (Micheal) living in the third reich which controls all of Europe. And the Euro would just be the Mark and France would be where they deserve to be.
People who pontificate on WWII seem to lack an understanding about what really happened during the war. For example, the nazis kept ALIVE and returned 20,000 American and British airmen who were shot down during the war. They kept alive the very same people who were bombing their cities. Do you for one second believe the Japanese treated our captured airmen likewise?
Yes, the Germans did follow the conventions better than the Japanese, but not always. Malmedy.
