Iam just glad that Hitler kept interferring with the Horten brothers and his other weapons designers other wise we would most likely be speaking german today instead of english.
I read a book many years ago by German General Heins Guderian (not sure of the spelling) and the general claimed that the general staff originally didn’t plan to go to war until 1945.
But Hitler couldn’t wait to go to war.
Could you imagine what it would have been like if Hitler had waited until 1945?
They would have had most of their super weapons in mass production by then.
What a scary thought.
You're looking at it the wrong way. Hitler was into bluff & bullying. Look at the sequence. Remilitarize the Rhineland, Anschluss with Austria, the Sudetenland Crisis, finally a lightning war against Poland. Meanwhile Russia was attacking Finland, absorbing the Baltic Republics, and finishing off Poland through the back door. It wasn't until Britain & France declared war on Germany in support of Poland that these events crystalized into a world war.
Don't misunderstand. I'm not blaming WW2 on Britain & France -- far from it. What I'm suggesting is that Hitler may have miscalculated what Britain & France would do in response to his invasion of Poland. After all they did exactly squat in support of Czechoslovakia.
The bottom line is that if things had gone slightly differently, the German General Staff's warplan timeline might have worked out.
