What would have happened if Hitler hadn't sperged out and invaded Russia while doing battle with Britain?

Could Hitler have won the war? Or would the outcome have been the same in the end?

Russia would have Invaded and encroached on Polish territory regardless. Conflict between USSR and Nazi Germany was an eventuality. It's because Hitler understood this he preemptively launched Operation Barbarossa. The only way Hitler could have won WW2 is if the US had not gotten involved.

Hitler would've run out of fuel and resources trying to take Britain. Even if he managed to secure the islands. an insane gorilla war by the English would've inflicted monstrous casualties on the occupying Germans. The U.S would've stepped in, and Hitler would've asked USSR for help.

The English are one of the best fighters in the world and their country is a fortress just because of the nature of it's terrain and its geographic location.

Hitler knew he needed to secure more resources and manpower before he could even dream of occupying London. That is why he attacked Russia.

No, Stalin would've sperged out and invaded Germany as soon as he felt his army was well armed and prepared. This is why Hitler took the first strike.

If it weren't for the US getting involved with Land Lease and the Russian winter (which was a record cold that year) Hitler would've had a parade in Moscow.
>>
>>72026421
Stalin was already preparing to attack him, he knew that he needs to attack first. The advances germans took in the first months of war are to the fact that soviet army was preparing for attack, not for defense.
And in the end it wasn't France, Poland or England Hitler was after. His Lebensraum lied in Russia.

Hi I'd like to tell you something unrelated to your posts. You are using the word "then" the wrong way. Your english is very good so I thought I'd tell you. There is "then" and "than". "then" is used for time. such as,
I went swimming THEN I went dancing.
"than" is used to tell between 2 things, like
I would rather go swimming THAN go dancing.
I hope this helps make you an even better english speaker. I'm learning a foreign language so I thought I'd throw that out there for you.

Of course. Barbarossa was his demise, along with randomly declaring war on the USA.

He could have won it quite easily (and this has been discussed at length in threads like these)
>Encircle, besiege and starve major cities instead of storming them by force
>Focus on the hub of the entire USSR, Moscow, leave Stalingrad alone for the time being
>Be prepared for winter
>Do not declare war on the US = way less Lend-Lease, which basically kept the USSR going
>Focus on quantity: a couple of trustworthy, mass-producable tank types, instead of overengineered tech showcases like the Tiger I and II

He was 12km from Moscow. All major railway convened there, which were the backbone of the Soviet armed forces (with US-built rolling stock). Capturing it would have meant the end. Russia is a big place, but that works both ways.
>>
>>72027069
Barbarossa caught the soviets off guard. After the initial assault they had to move all of their manufacturing back behind the Ural mountains. If they were expecting it they'd have put their manufacturing in a safe place beforehand and wouldn't have been pushed back as far by op Barbarossa as they were.

Of course Russia would have attacked Germany in time. But no, the failure of the soviet army at the start of the war wasn't due to "planning for attack instead of defence" It was due to "Planning to have months if not years to plan before either". The soviets simply were not ready for war at the time Hitler attacked. That's why he did that. Every month he would have delayed, the stronger the soviets would have been.
The only flaw in the plan, was that he delayed it too long. The flaw with the execution of it, was that they stopped attacking at points. The single way to beat the soviets at that time was to hit them so hard and so fast they couldn't respond. It was to be in all their major cities before they could counter attack and force them to surrender before they even fought. Hitlers delays allowed the soviets to catch their breath, allow the allies to ship supplies over. The second that attack faltered, was the second that the Germans lost the war.

Granted, 12km from the outer suburbs is something different than 12km from the Red Square, but you can't deny he was very close. This has even been heavily used in Soviet/Russian propaganda to enforce the idea how the victory was very hard won.

Bro, archives were declassified years ago. Every russian newspaper was dehumanizing Hitler already in June, aerodromes were built on border and tens of tank armies were unmanned on border waiting for offensive.
The reason Stalin didn't believe germans really attacked and ran away to his dacha for 4 days like a whiny baby when his country needed him most (this fact is little known in the west) is because he was about to attack himself and simply couldn't grasp the fact Hitler completely outplayed him by a couple weeks. If not for 3 to 1 manpower and terrain advantage Stalin would've been fucked.
Don't listen to russians, they're good people but this is a defensive psychological mechanism to deny facts that can hurt your kin.

Because of treaty obligations with the Japs. Which they themselves blatantly disregarded with respect to the USSR, giving the Soviets opportunity to weaken the east to strengthen the west. So, Hitler BTFO'ed himself for nothing in return, out of honour. He was truly the Ned Stark of his days, if you don't mind the lame reference.

They had about 80 divisions near Moscow. And kept them there until 43. Also Leningrad was in terrible siege (my grndparents were in Leningrad grandmother had a duty on the roof to keep it from fire sha was 8 years old)

The main aim was Arhangelsk-Astrahan. Kavkas oil and our allyear seaports.
We kept that line it was the only way to win.

You do know that was the first world war, and this thread is about the second right?

Canada's biggest thing during WW2 was Juno beach. Toughest beach of them all, but we had a bunch of tanks they didn't have at the other beaches. That last part they like to leave out of most lessons in our schools.

And vimy ridge wasn't all that impressive really. The only "big" thing about the Canadians there was that our british commanders got the bright idea that instead of doing the standard thing of "Shell the enemy and the field, then stop shelling and run across" the decided "Hey, we aren't doing the running here, it's the fucking colonials. Why not just keep shooting the entire time?" and somehow we Canadians thought that was a grand idea.

>everyone falling for the "don't invade russia" meme

Well, newsflash fuckwad, Stalin would absolutely rape Germany just a few weeks later, Germany invading whole of Europe was just what he wanted, Stalin wanted a weak Europe, he wanted to see the red army marching through Brittany.

The German war machine was dead on its tracks, just because Stalin wanted it to fall.
Even if he did invade Russia, even if he didn't invade it at all, Germany was doomed.

The German military is most consistently overrated fighting force of World War II. The Wehrmacht was impressive in its victories, and still dangerous in its defeats, but it had some mind boggling flaws which the myth of German military genius and the "blame Hitler" excuse often served to hide. For their part, the Russians are underrated more than they're overrated. For the longest time they were seen as a blundering mass of men and tanks who just ground over the Germans with endless waves. The recognition of their operational skill and sophistication is a relatively new thing in the West and based on a much more thorough understanding of the Eastern Front since the end of the Cold War. The USSR were generally on the back foot until late-1942, but after that the Soviets repeatedly showed the ability to consistently out-general the Germans. The German high command repeatedly failed to correctly identify the time and place of major Red Army offensives, and was thus consistently unable to stop them, and then when those offensives developed they were always playing catch-up with the fast moving Soviet Tank Armies.

Just a disclaimer: This is just a strategical and tactical observation, nothing to do with ideologies.

Honestly, if the Axis had known what kind of resources were available in the Middle East, they'd have likely started there rather than rolling over France and hitting Russia directly.

And the world would have been a better place for it. Odds are things would never has escalated the same way if the blitzkriegs had been rolling over what is now Libya, Syria, and Iran/Iraq, especially if they'd left the area around what's now Israel alone. Hell, even Italy would have likely hung in there far longer without being the punching bag for the Allies.

He had almost no chance, Russia would have invaded eventually. If Japan had done as Hitler wanted and started a simultaneous land invasion of Russia during Barbarossa there could have been a chance to subdue Russia and secure their resources and kill their leadership before they could organize any significant counter-offensive, but then you'd still have to deal with the fact that the USA and Britain were essentially unconquerable and there would be constant uprisings across occupied Russian territory, where Germany was completely overextended.

Best case scenario is USA doesn't enter the war until Russia is subdued, in which case Germany still has to spend a huge number of resources which they really don't have to try to invade Britain and force the USA back out of the war. There would be no way for Germany to secure a compete victory without some kind of compromise like releasing France, in which case you just set yourself up for another inevitable, horrible war a few decades down the road, or the war would just keep going and going for years and years in a stalemate if everybody refused to negotiate.

Heres a move that literally no one considers.

Support the Nationalist Chinese earlier on, break all agreements with the inferior Nips.

Allowing the Nationalist Chinese to beat the commies back into Russia, allowing them to be a natural resource supporter through Afghanistan and the southern route.

Perhaps garner a peace between the Nips and Chinese, prevent the genocide of millions of Chinese, allowing them to invade Siberia and make Stalin throw his suicidal forces against an equal opponent while the elite SS units puncture and undermine their entire communist structure.

Allow China to seek revenge on Japan, using US made weapons and supplies.

Read some stuff about Soviet Enginnering too, they weren't playing around, they weren't just a horde of endless men running to Berlin.

Hitler hated communist Russia. He attacked Russia to halt the spread of communism.
Hitler never wanted to go to war with Britain. Britain declared war, and it was Britain who bombed civilian targets first. The Blitz was a counter attack.

He literally did not have enough resources alone to take the territory he wanted, which is why he needed Japan to step up and start fucking Russia's ass to help out, that is the entire reason Hitler allied with Japan, to fuck Russia up.
But instead they chose to stay home during Barbarossa and bomb Pearl Harbor a year later and bring another colossal player into the war earlier than was desired, offering Germany absolutely zero assistance and overall harming the axis badly.

He needed oil from the Caucasus, hence why he targeted Stalingrad. Moscow could have absolutely not been taken without more resources. Even if Germany did manage to take Moscow, they would have exhausted every bit of fuel and manpower doing so and would still need to take Stalingrad to replenish themselves, which would have been 100% impossible.

How am is what I'm saying in anyway incorrect?

German-Sino science relations went deep. They were forced to abandon them when the Nips demanded it. The Nips had been built up by the American and Brits for a long long time, and China was still on its heels from 2-3 multi nation invasions. The reason they lost their battles vs the Nips was infighting between Communists and Nationalists.

Even a well established Nazi saved thousands of people in Nanking.

If the Nationalist had the technological advantage, they could've taken the fight to Russia and Japan. They lacked engineers and scientific discoveries, but with German support I'm sure that they could've turned the tide.

Russia was very similar in many regard to population, and how they sustained their people.

Germany didn't need a win from China, they needed someone to pull the Rooskis off their border and make them attempt their own death march to defend Sibera and to attack the Chinese.

Why should he want the city intact? A city only remains intact if there is no fighting in its borders. Hence Rome and Paris were evacuated.

In Stalingrad the soviets were always close to german positions. This disabled the advantage of combined air-ground warfare.

The Italians didn't really have much strategic use to Germany besides preventing an invasion from the south. If they weren't shit they would have been able to fight off the allied forces in Italy, which really wouldn't have helped too much considering by the time the allies were fighting in Italy the Germans were already in full-retreat on the Eastern front.

The best thing the Italians could have done would be to maybe try to take the middle-east via the med and establish some steady flow of oil to Germany.

This. Their production was all east of Moscow anyway, all that Russia would have to do to keep fighting if they were to somehow lose Moscow would be to move the leadership farther East.

There is just too much land in Russia for Germany to hold alone. Even a completely ideal Barbarossa, if it were possible without Japan (it wasn't), would have exhausted Germany to the point of complete collapse.

If Finland decided to continue past their territorial borders during Operation Barbarossa I am convinced the Germans would have ultimately won.
But of course the stupid Finns decided to stay back while smaller nations like Romania and Hungary, both with much inferior weapons including a lack heavy weapons and supply chains were in the operation to the end of it.

Italy was there to but they do what they always did, just fuck up consistently.. and they are partially responsible for why the Romanian armies as well as the Hungarian army got fucked up as badly as they did when the counter-attack on Stalingrad began.

TL;DR Finland didn't commit to the operation past their original territory, but the stupid cucks lost that plus more anyways so the idiots should have committed their forces to the effort to help reinforce Stalingrad, which could have changed the tide of the war in the East and ultimately the entire conflict.

Russia would have never let Moscow be taken without an extremely bloody fight, which would have diminished an already exhausted Germany to almost no benefit. They would still need oil, which would require seizing Stalingrad, which would have been another bloody battle with even fewer resources than the real battle of Stalingrad which was already a colossal failure.

Stalingrad was needed before a battle of Moscow was even worthy of an attempt, even if Germany were to win Moscow they would be badly diminished and unable to secure the resources needed to keep fighting anyone.

First of all, nobody was very sure who is stronger back then and all faggots on 4chan saying that if Hitler could read the future and planned accordingly he'd win are hilarious. Second, USSR fend off Japan a year before German invasion, and Japan had very modern airforce back then. China very likely wouldn't march into Siberia even if no one was defending it because past capturing Vladivostok there is really nothing you can do with swordsmen if transsib railway is blown up. But again, this is assuming everyone teamed up against USSR, at the time no one cared about wasteland like Siberia, no one knew if USSR is strong or not, no one could read the future, how can't you understand this. Japan didn't attack USSR exactly because army staff concluded there are more resources in the southeast asian countries.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=77&v=plpd83wbzSA

The conversation indicates that HItler was surprised to the full extend of the Soviets armament. It indicates that they were already preparing for war. He describes that in 1940 they had discovered massive factories for tank productions.

STOP DRINKING THE COMMIE COOLAID
>>
>>72032874
This much is obvious. If Germany wanted to stand a chance they needed more allies, they needed to focus on destroying communism instead of expanding westward and opening more fronts. If they had managed to find an ally in Britain (would never have happened, but they did try) they would have been able to stop the Russians, the US would have never entered into the war against Germany, France would be irrelevant (as usual), Italy would have been an unnecessary ally as nobody would have even tried invading from the south in the first place.

If Britain had chosen to ally with Germany, or at least not participate in the war, Germany definitely could have held the line against Russian invaders, but the Brits hated the Germans so badly after WWI there was no chance of this, they just had to contest the western front the entire war and allow the Russians to fuck everything up.

The biggest disgrace of the entire war was the western powers' general ignorance to the threat of communism. Had Hitler not even taken power, the entirety of Europe would have doubtlessly fallen to the communists, the modern free capitalist Europe literally owes Hitler for its freedom as ridiculous as that sounds.
>>
>>72032700
Good points, but the war was fought on an immensely wider front than the 1812 one. Railway transport was essential for the way less motorised/mechanised Red Army, and transport along the north-south front line would have been severely hindered by the removal of the central hub: Moscow. The Germans would have gained a lot of extra 'play room" when the Soviets couldn't use their railway system, essentially being able to outrun and outflank them like they did in 1914-17.

I do agree with you, of course, that fall of Moscow =/= fall of USSR. They would have still posed a very real threat, but the worst hurdle would have been taken for the Germans. Of course, it should be seen together with my other points in >>72027395

To answer OP's question: yes, Barbarossa could have been won, but only when a vastly different approach along the whole duration of it. It's never as simple as "oh if he'd just taken Moscow, it'd be done"

I've listened to the entire recording - I had only listened to a short excerpt before. You know... the more I spent time on /pol/ and research the unpopular and "thought crime" positions aswell, the more I realize we haven't been told the truth and often been blatantly lied to. I find it at least astonishing how the propaganda of your government made it possible to demonize Hitler as the devil incarnate and somehow managed to portray Stalin as a liberator of Europe and fighter for its freedom. In the least it doesn't exactly encourage trust in other things your government says and declares as evident, historical truths.

It might be controversial and I am not sure, if it held true, but I think even the Poles and the Russians would have been better off under the rule of the Reich than under Stalinism. Of course most will aggressively deny that.

Japan may have read that, but they were also bloodthirsty descendants of Pirates, who wished nothing more but to emulate the great imperial armies they witnessed in the west.

Japan lacked the population, moral driving factors, and information required to attack USSR, this was a fault by the Germans, but they also refused to take the USSR by their own volition.

Right, but the heavy industry was moved East far before that and the shitty German supply lines would not have managed to allow a German offensive towards the Ural Mountains. It would have taken longer, but you would have BTFO of Germany in the end.

Germany could've won the war if Hitler had given Donitz his requested allotment of U-Boats instead of building worthless pocket battleships. The German Navy could've had an additional 90 U-boats if they hadn't built the 3 pocket battleships. Donitz wanted 300 U-Boats which were much more effective and much cheaper than the ships.

Churchill said the only thing that ever made him nervous was what was going on with the U-boats and how effective they were early in the war at sinking supply from the US. There was a point at which the U-Boats where sinking far more ships than the US could replace, but Germany did not have enough replacement U-Boats to keep up with the advances in anti-submarine tech, which was actually very poor until late '42-early '43. Germany could have easily starved GB and without supply from the US and easy pickings for an invasion, maybe not the whole, but at least enough to take out the airfields in southern GB. WIthout these airfields, the USAAF would have not had bases, and USAAF strategic bombing of Germany industry was the single most key component in defeating Nazi Germany.

He was only unprepared for winter because he assumed he'd have Russia before then. But he stopped the invasion for a few months, which not only gave the Russians time to defend the cities, but it also caused the Germans to fight in Russian winter.

He should have just listened to his advisors and not paused the invasion.

>It might be controversial and I am not sure, if it held true, but I think even the Poles and the Russians would have been better off under the rule of the Reich than under Stalinism. Of course most will aggressively deny that.

You're right. They wouldn't have to suffer communism, they would just all be dead while the best would be sent to the reich to breed. Their lands would be populated by ethnic Germans and their history and culture would cease to exist. You're very good at genocide I'll give you that. I especially like the idea of taking the youngest fine children and giving them to German parents, that way they will hold no past knowledge or grudges that their parents would teach them throughout childhood, creating a pure generation. Fucking perfection desu senpai.

"great propaganda victory"

Stalingrad, like Moscow, was an incredibly important city.

Not the city itself, but the location. It was on the Volga river that runs from the Caspian sea to the white sea. Taking that city would have crippled the Soviets logistically. Just like how taking Moscow, where every fucking railroad meets, was incredibly important.

Taking them was not for propaganda value, but for strategic purposes.
>>
Also, Germany could've easily defeated the USSR, the problem was there were 3 fronts in the east, north, central, and south. There was a power struggle on which to focus on amongst German generals, it wasn't just Hitler sperging. If they had committed to a single front instead of making ground in one and shifting focus to another, then to another, then back to where they started, Germany would've easily defeated the soviet military. The most important front to have made a committed attack was center, if they had captured Moscow, everything would've fallen apart as typical with the soviets, all command and control was out of Moscow. They were close to it too.

Russia is kind of amazing in that it has survived many invasions not because of their military, but in spite of it because of weather and floundering from the invaders.

Operation Sealion would have taken years to even attempt, a lot of people were glad it was thrown out and they were moving along.

It's likely Germany could have made better gains by focusing less on encirclements and putting Ukraine on the backburner, thus giving more punching power to AGC.

The Uboats sank over 1300 liberty ships in 1942 alone.


The point is that in the early portion of the war, GB was in a dire position, they were almost wholly dependent on materiel and supply from the US at the beginning.

The US was already involved at this point, the problem was that without the airbases in southern GB, the US would not have a stepping stone into Germany. They wouldn't have been able to bomb from a safe source.

Yes Russians aren't affected by winter, they get +5 defense bonus in frost.
The shit people here spew...Germans lost because Soviets fought better overall. The end.
If you really bothered to read about Eastern Front, you'd realize that Soviets had a huge handicap, and that was Stalin's purges.
Stalin removed most of Soviet officer corps.
Plus he tried to micro-manage the war effort early on, which finally ended after disaster in Third Battle of Kharkov.
German success in WW2 was in big part thanks to their officer corps.
Officers and NCO's are everything.

-They had to invade due to the industrialisation of Russia on a war footing during the third five year plan.

-They intended to invade in may but couldn't due to flooding and being held up in Greece.

-They had intended to encircle Moscow which a minority of the German staff supported including Hitler (Wether this would have worked was debatable)

-The General staff instead chose a full attack on Moscow while Hitler was ill with dysentery and didn't reach Moscow in time which resulting in their equitment freezing.

I like to think of it as 'absoluteness' where looking at people from the human empathetic perspective is no longer possible. Instead you look at it as if you were looking at a set of cutlery. The broken and old goes in the trash or cannibalized to make new sets, while the best is rounded up and polished to perfection.

This is probably the only way to deal with these migrants now.

But hey, it only gets even more fun with applying eugenics to even the very best. I can't wait until that door will finally be opened.

I know that the US operations in Europe are oversold and the UK operations in Asia are undersold but the US won the war senpai. Without Airborne in Belgium, Marines on the Islands, or the US Navy smashing Japs the UK would have sat on its Island, Russia would have been fought to a stalemate around Polish/German border, and UK Commonwealth troops would have surrendered like they did at Singapore, with their batteries facing the wrong way

This is what makes me laugh the most, and I noticed same in the writing of some American experts.
Communism, especially that in USSR, was not Slavic.
Slavic elements were either reflection or adopted for propaganda.
Stalin liked Russia and Russians, but he didn't have any pro-Slavic sentiments, he was a Georgian for fucks sake.
Russian nationalism was a big enemy in the mind of commies.

Hitler did not have as much oil as he needed to conquer all the land he wanted. This is why he diverted to the baltics, while having moscow in the palm of his hand pre winter. Probably one of the biggest mistakes in military history, but it gives insight on how important a fuel source was to him.

What?

The only thing US intervention did was stoping SU from swalowwing the whole Europe, maybe Britain even.

Daily reminder that Hitler would have beat Russia's ass had Italy not screwed Germany over by attacking Greece. By having to attack Greece thanks to Italy's incompetence, Germany had to delay their invasion of Russia until much later than previously planned, leading to their blitzkrieg getting caught in the Russian mud during the fall, and getting caught in the Russian winter.

>I know that the US operations in Europe are oversold and the UK operations in Asia are undersold but the US won the war senpai

To be honest I think the war could have been won without the US albiet alot slower and a lot more costly (especially in Asia) and had we fallen in the 40's I think the conclusion would have been far worse.

>UK Commonwealth troops would have surrendered like they did at Singapore, with their batteries facing the wrong way

They surrendered at Singapore under orders because they eblieved they would be treated fairly as POW's (Which they weren't) ; it was under a direct order from the general staff rather than risking the massacre of British troops.

Invasion was a military mistake. Had Hitler not be a mad man, he would have forget his Sudentland Claims, and forge a united front on
SU early on.

What do you think of the claim that SU won the war due to larger manpower reserves? After all, western Europe had more population then SU, and the most densily populated areas were taken from SU early on.

Toast to the Russian People at a Reception in Honour of Red Army Commanders Given by the Soviet Government in the Kremlin on Thursday, May 24, 1945

COMRADES! Permit me to propose one more, last toast.

I should like to propose a toast to the health of our Soviet people, and in the first place, the Russian people. (Loud and prolonged applause and shouts of “Hurrah.”)

I drink in the first place to the health of the Russian people because it is the most outstanding nation of all the nations forming the Soviet Union.

I propose a toast to the health of the Russian people because it has won in this war universal recognition as the leading force of the Soviet Union among all the peoples of our country.

Maginot line was actually pretty good idea.
First, it made French border impenetrable without huge German loses, which offset the German manpower advantage.
Second, it shielded French mobilization.
Third, because of line, only way to invade France was via Belgium, and that meant Belgium was practically forced to join France, and in turn UK is forced to support France.
