      Because painter man supposedly wanted to destroy the city, not take it. Timothy Snyder, "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hootler and Stealing". (Can't spell their real names, my comments get deleted)
      I am not convinced of this argument myself because I see no strategic value in sending thousands of men to die taking the city, but I am not a historian so trust who you want. Snyder's book is a good and wholesome read.

      I don't think many outside the vauge history study circle realise what a siege is
      Where a siege is necessary it is close to impossible to take it by assault
      Eg an army cannot just walk up to a castle and hit it til it breaks, unless they spend time preparing ways in they physically cannot enter
      As with Leningrad the obscene losses would be greater if they walked at it ( shooty weapon go bang )

    Germany: "Nein"
    Italy: "Shit man the Greek campaign is harder than expected, can you help me a bit ?"

      Im more of the "dont invade the soviets until Britain falls" kind of guy. Big problem with that is adolf was firmly convinced stalin would invade him, or back some major communist uprising against him. Other chance was actually dedicating MORE resources to africa early on and delaying the invasion until spring, potentially having rommel on the soviets doorstep in the caucuses while also having some oil available from the middle east

      ​@@cyclesaviorn2700 I don't think britain can fall though. If it could, how long would that take? If it takes too long then the soviets will get to build up strength even longer thanks to the german reliance on their resources.
      The rommel idea is essentially fantasy, how would he even make it up to the caucuses? Not only does this assume more resources would mean bigger wins for rommel (which is not necessarily true due to the logistics of north africa), but he'd have to invade through turkey or iran which would be hellish.
      Even if Rommel performs miracles, secures middle eastern oil and caucus oil, germany still wouldn't be able to access it. It would take years to build the infrastructure to actually dig up and move the resources to german equipment. The most it does is deprive the allies and soviets of resources, not actually obtain anything for the germans.

      Honestly the best way Germany could've won was by having Britain accept the numerous peace offers, But of course, that would require Points of Divergence Like Churchill not being in charge.
      (Edit: Another thing with the Slavs, it was a widely discussed thing with the NSDAP's Leadership, Hitler had a disliking of them, Himmler thought the Russians were filth but i'm pretty sure he didn't feel that way for Ukranians, as i'm 90% sure he visited the front and saw the consequences of the Holodomor, which only furthered his opinion of them. Rosenberg did convince Hitler to open up the Slavs to an extent. Hence the Russian Liberation Army and it's Waffen-SS predecessor, the RONA.)

      @@cyclesaviorn2700 Genuinely, the window of opportunity for Germany achieving an advantageous peace with Britain was incredibly slim - they'd need an almost prophetic foresight to undermine trust in the Churchill government such that the appeasers could take charge again and sue for peace. However, Churchill had an incredible boost to his popular approval through popular myths which began to write themselves shortly into his premiership, myths such as the great success of the Dunkirk evacuation (in reality, a military shitshow which basically condemned France to death).
      I'd say the Germans have maybe a month after Churchill takes power to usurp him. After that, Britain is dead set on war, with the only way to peace from there being outright capitulation. Germany isn't doing that anytime soon

      If the Germans took Dunkirk and killed/captured all 300,000 British troops there, and Britain consequently dropped out of the war, you just end up with a Soviet Europe or Britain joining back in again in '44/45 as the Soviets approach Berlin. I question, however, if Germany even had the capability to take Dunkirk; they had so far avoided pitched battles with Britain and France and it's difficult to say how they would perform, though given the atrocious quality of their tanks in 1940 they might not do as well as one would expect.

And not just the 6th army, but the entire army group. Honestly just the traffic jam of this operation would probably make it just as ineffective as only sending g half the army.

    Personally, I think you should do an alternate history on what if Alfred the Great was slain at Chippenham, or potentially what if Harald Godwinson won against the Normans.
    I haven’t seen any large videos touching on those topics, and there are some interesting ideas at play. For example, had Alfred the Great died, the central figure for the unification of England is single-handedly wiped out, and we get a Danish England earlier than the North Sea Empire. A ‘What if Harald Godwinson Won’ would also be interesting, as it removes the primary driving motivator for the Hundred Year’s War. It would bring light to a very niche topic, as well as spark conversation about two extremely important events for the unification of England and the idea of a British identity as a whole that is often forgotten and overlooked in favour of the later Norman conquest and Hundred Year’s War.

      trying to make a realistic scenario where Godwinson wins is tricky though, from what little i know fo Hastings. Godwinson had just marched his entire army down the english coast in a number of weeks, shortly after winning a brutal battle against Hardrada, and his tired, battered army engaged the norman army, that was relatively well rested. You can't really have Godwinson take more time with going to engage the normans, as htey were plundering many southern villages and generally causing chaos. Maybe have Hardrada die, or give up his claim, leaving William to fight Godwinson alone, maybe?

    Great video! I think Germany avoiding terror bombing in the battle of Britain might have interesting indirect consequences beyond losing more of their air force, like less people would be motivated to enlist for the British if their homes weren’t being destroyed, it’d be a major propaganda loss.
    Also it might prevent the allies from doing their own terror bombing campaign as then it would be the allies initiating the terror bombing instead of Germany which might cripple domestic support for the war.
    Maybe even nuclear programs delayed with a reduction in conventional terror bombing.
    Also I would imagine without terror bombing, recovery after the war would be faster which could also have many interesting implications for the cold war, such as maybe no Marshall plan.

    3) What if the allies attack Norway before Germany does?

    Ally with the Slavs would've absolutely won them the war, combined with peacing out Britain on favorable terms and not declaring war on the US

    anything else either gets Berlin nuked (as a result of the war being longer) or gets Germany steamrolled in 1942 by the Soviets (or is actively harmful)

  • @SnakeonLSD
    @SnakeonLSD 2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

    My hot take is that Germany could have won if his leaders weren't extremely radical and racist. The Germany that almost single-handedly won a war against 3 of the world's greatest powers (UK, France, and Russia) wasn't dead yet, and it showed yet again through their achievements in France and the USSR.
    Furthermore, parts of the Soviet Union, such as Ukraine, the Baltic States, and Kazakhstan, lost a lot because of decisions made in Moscow. The only reason they didn't side with the Germans is because the Germans made the Soviets look like saints by comparison. The Soviets weren't EXPLICITLY trying to kill them, but the Germans were. Not trying to kill everyone in the USSR changes the stakes for your average Slav. Which is more important to you: The lives of you and everyone you love, or the ideology of your current government?
    If the USSR was taken out of the picture, the Allies could not win the war, as the Germans could turn continental Europe into an impenetrable fortress. Think about it: If the Normandy landings were difficult to pull off while most of the German Army was distracted in the East, how is it possible when no such distraction exists? The only options would be to either accept German terms, or let the war last forever.

      The Nazis are Nazis though. You don't have this war if they aren't in charge.
      If Hitler stopped in 1938, he would have been lauded as the Bismarck of the 20th century. But the only reason he even pushed like that in the first place is because he was planning for a war and in fact already ready for a war back then.
      It's like that with all those counterfactuals. If the Nazis didn't act like Nazis, they wouldn't be Nazis.
      Also, you're conveniently forgetting nukes.

      In a far off scenario where the Germans win in the Soviet Union, or even more far off scenario where the two remain peaceful… Europe is only “impenetrable” for so long. What are they gonna do when the UK and US start firebombing the hell out of all of Germany- and what the hell is Germany gonna do when the nukes fall? The germans wouldn’t have the resources for their own nuclear program. “Victory” for the germans is impossible as long as the UK stands.

    Germany convinces Italy to focus on Africa first instead of comfiting resources into the Balkans and even sending additional forces to aid in the initial push since Barbarossa would be delayed anyway ....
    Alternatively or in addition to that deal with Yugoslavia first either pressure it join the axis and support Italy in the Balkans/ Africa ... or dismantle it enticing Bulgaria to join sooner
    Then after Yugoslavia is dealt with convince Italy to focus on Africa and have say Yugoslavia/ Croatia + Bulgaria send forces to support Italy in Africa and sending an Africa Corp like force earlier ...

    Actually, the best thing Germany could have done to increase it's odds is to pressure Italy NOT to join the war.
    This will both create a neutral zone in Africa, which will make a Allied invasion of Vichy France much harder, and on top of that would create a collaborating buy still neutral Italy, which can be a trading partner and an industrial support for the Reich.
    With no southern front opened in 1943, the Germans can grind war in the East into a stealmate and recreate the Brest-Litowsk peace. Once the War in the East comes to an end, and Germany's armies return home, there is no hope for the Allies retake France.
    They would also be unable to starve Germany, as it now has enough neutral neighbours to bypass the British naval blockade. The war is extremally costly to the British, and as Chrchill wants tl save the British Empire, he will eventually agree to the white peace with Germany.
    The war comes to an end with a German hegemony over majority of Europe, but Soviets are still alive in modern day Russia and England still is independent with substantial ammout of U.S. aid, which migh delay decolonization by quite some time
