The only long range weapons able to hit the USA from Germany would have been the long-ranger missile that they were developing.to the east coast. As far as lomng term strategy, Germany didn’t have time to develop one before they had to go to war in 1939.

I’ve read, true I don’t know, that Hitler told his military leadership in the mid-1930s that they should expect war in Europe around 1943 and that they then set their development programs on a schedule according to that.

Except....except.....he then went off and started popping shots about 5 years early on them. Had the German armaments industry had another 5 years to to develop and grow, who knows how things might have played out differently?

They had to go to war in 1939?

What overwhelming factor prevented them from spending more time getting ready?

China has spent decades getting ready for the impending conflict.
