2.) You need ships (no plane could carry a Panther or Tiger)
Could the Ju 390 do this maybe?
F) Heavy surface Forces, superior in numbers and Quality
Quality? I don't think so??
And remember, it takes a lot of time to build a fleet!
Germany would simply use American/British air carriers, like it did with French craft for Operation Seelowe?
As for the Jets, England was developing jets at the same time. The Germans were just the first to put them into service.
Actually the 1st jet engine was made by Whittle turbojets in '23 IIRC?
The 1st jet plane to fly was German, so was the 1st jet to manned aircraft combat, but the Metoeor was the 1st plane to enter service.
That's actually wrong, the Meteor was the first into service. The Me-262 was the first jet into service and meet enemy opposition.
I think a Meteor prototype took out a V1, without any guns!
(It tipped it over!)
What people forget is Australia had the most Tungsten and also had considerable iron and aluminium ore, I reckon the Japanese would have had Oz?
It would depend on Russian people and resources.
They would be exterminated as untermenche and they knew it, they would fight to the death and are very capaple.
Also most nations such as Britain would sue for peace under favourable circumstances, but would resist much harder than the Marquis etc, and I believe if persecuted, would fight to the death also.
This would also likely be true of the USA and Commonwealth.
Excellent info on that post there, thanks Smokey.
Though it would be immediately obvious what Hitler was doing if he started building up forces near Manchuria.
Not necessarily, fake a Manchuria Russian revolt, after this act is 'crushed' place troops and railtracks there?
