Yes the germans are the bad guys and the allied are the good guys, it doesn't matter how and why are the circumstances!
Mr. Parsifal you make me sick with your argumentation! Believe your mystery myths and I believe in reality!
You don't get it! I hate nazis but I'm an idealist and that will include all perspective's of the war in WWII and the given history!
You can argument till the next century about german "piracy" and the "spirit" of US neutrality"!
For me I did doesn't count! The facts are counting nor more no less!
There are more then 100 issues were the US Navy radio reported the station of axis ships, to be secure that GB or Commenwealth ships hit the goal. The Us neutralty was on very weak feets at the chasing of Bismarck and the Larconia incedent will tell you very much!
This was stated from many historian all over the world! And now I'm out! Believe in your mystery myths, every normal member or guest of this forum, can get his own opinion with a little research! But please you should be secure when you raise the next mystery myth, I'm in!
The resources the US would be able to turn against the European Axis if only had to fight them surely would be significant. The bombing campaign for example, probably would started sooner. Aircraft like the B-29 and the B-36 perhaps also would appeared sooner.
Parsifal, you that are/was a naval man, any plausible chance of a US assault in Norway with the full power of the USN in your view?
One of the reasons I keep saying its hard to predict, is because both sides of the ledger will have significantly greater forces. An allied force, reinforced with the materiel that would have otherwise gone to the pacific and the USSR ranged against the historical forces of the third reich will not have any difficulty in defeating the Germans. Against a reinforced german position it would be much more problematic.
Its harder than it looks to predict this scenario.
Not only hard, damn nearly impossible Michael.
There are so many variables involved.
How Hitler Could Have Won World War II by Bevin Alexander
This book poses some interesting and well considered points.
But, at the end of the day its all speculation.

i think that the allies would have to replicate the russian scenario...by that i mean open other fronts to draw troops into the fray and stretch supply lines. if not in norway then??? the allies could do that because they had the men and resources to do that. with out the war in russia, and the LW in better position to stymie a cross channel invasion, germany's only front then would have been africa. another front would have had to been instigated if only to redirect resources from that theater. norway would have opened up more bomber routes to the heart of germany that the LW would have to defend. it would have been a COLD and brutal campaign for all parties involved. other than there where do you go....spain? turkey? options are limited...
I really doubt Hitler would not try develop an atomic bomb in this scenario.
I am unclear - in the current premise - what the status of the German-Russian MT Pact of September, 1939. Can someone please clarify this. ????
