Neither have I, but it would not surprise me because the German economy was in shambles because of WW1, WW1 reperations and the Great Depression did not help matter either.

sorry just had to quote that- funniest thing i've read today!
Hitler did not want to prevent a communist eastern europe but rather make more living space for the German people.

Notwithstanding tha above mad debate about what if the RAF had suddenly all been dissapeared somehow [when UK aircraft production in 1940 outstripped the Nazis] Soren's what if has been an informative debate for me anyway as a what if at least gives you an insight into the limitations of the equipment at the time.
This what if is a bit lame though. The best and probably only opportunity to knock the British out of ww2 came at Dunkirk. Once again we can all thank Hitlers and his fellow Nazis madness for allowing Dunkirk to happen.
If the entire UK army had been captured I am almost certain that the UK would have signed a peace treaty with the Nazis. No 2nd front, no US involvement and a completely diffrent Europe. Thats the lot of the Nazis it seems, to forever be seen as the nearly men and to be shown as ironically hastening the very thing they wanted to fight to prevent, a Communist ruled Eastern Europe!
Cheers
Partly true, I agree, but Nazi rethoric made the ordinary German fear a Comminist grab in the Eastern European countries which frankly wouldnt have been possible without ww2.
