But a Germany controlling Eurasia would have much much greater manufacturing capacity...

That's correct, which is why we were lucky they did not seize Russia. Stalin was evil, but not the threat to the US that Hitler was at the time.

The US by itself would have had a long road to defeating Hitler, but with Russia it could have been done without Britain almost as quickly as it was. That's why I think a show dealing with the possiblities of Russia falling instead of Britain would be much more interesting.

Britian falling was the key.
With Britian we could still defeat
a Germany that conquers Russia.
After Britian fell.
There would have hard to imagine
Russia not falling.

Then Germany is the can't be beat be position.
Britian falling was nearly the longshot
people think it was today. For one
remember people back then expected it
would fall. Were they all just crazy?

Remember Crete? Germany took that
island with Britian controlling the
sea.

How, its paratroopers. 18,000
German paratroopers defeated
35,000 allied troops in Crete
mainly British not second rate forces at all)

Germany could have probably using it paratroopers
and guilders gotten 100,000 men onto England
to grab beacheads. And as weak as British
land army was probably could have seized the
beachheads fairly easily. And the
German Air Force would have easily been
able to have control of the air over
just beach heads. The Germans
messed up getting into the London
bombings and all that.
They could have grabbed air control
over just the needed beachpoints
quickly and then brought in the paratroopers
and guilders.

The British Navy would have forced to
come to the Channel and
in the Channel the German Airforce and
subs would have smashed it like we
did to the Japanese in the Solomon Islands.

Then the main army can crossover
and finish the British off.

What if the British Navy had refused
the bait?
Then the Germans could have minned the
Channell opening at Dover.
And then crossed with a screen of mines
and subs and Airforce so that
the British could have not stopped them with
their Navy at that point.

And if the British come around
the other way that would have taken long
enough the Germans could have stopped
whoever was midway going to England
and turned and blow away the Navy
with their sub and Air Force and
then crossed over with the Main army.
