If you believe my "What-If" scenerio is a tad flawed, then you can go ahead and correct me.
Another, had he decided to continue the Blitzkrieg against military bases and facilities rather than civilian populations, the British would have had a significant loss in production and defense capabilities.
when Hitler declared war on the US, he made himself a target. At that point, he now had to face both the Soviet Military and the US forces. HAD HE DECIDED TO NOT declare such a war, his resources and attention would have been more focused rather than divided. Thus, making it difficult for the Brits to defend themselves and Hitler would have had enough troops to halt the Soviet onslaught.
He would have then conquered Britain and begin concentrating on a larger naval force that can reach and attack the US eastern seaboard. And since the US wouldn't have defeated the Germans, they then couldn't be able to develope the two bombs. Thus continueing the the war.
had he also decided to keep the Me262 as a fighter, the props like the mustangs would not have been able to do anything to stop them.
The only thing that I would disagree with Hagar and that only in hinsight is on the notion that the Royal Navy was the most powerful Navy in the world at that time.
So you see Hitlers biggest mistake was to declare war on the United State.
Mathias with all due respect. Your coments are only half true. The P47 and P51 did take on the Luftwaffe best and beat them at their game.
Few Luftwaffe Aces where shot down before the Americans started to show up in significant numbers.
You have to remember that the Luftwaffe moved most of thier best air forces unit to the West after after the Battle of Kursk.
As matter of fact the Luftwaffe was at its peak in the middle of 1943.
Its no accident that it started to lost control of the skies over Europe Late 1943 and the spring of 1944.
I disagree with your assestment. What I found out thru much reading and in flying this Simulators is that Bf109 and Fw190 where nice planes but way overated.
I find the German piilots where the ones with their great team work that made this planes way better than they realy where.
I"m sorry but the P51 and the P47 where the better planes not to mention the SpitfireVIII and abouve.
I know you are a tremendous fan of the Fw190 and the Bf109 and that blinds you to reality. But thats the simple truth.
Its also true that the Eastern Front was where the Nazis lost the war. But it lost it in the ground not in the Air.
you are a smart and nice guy. Do not let your passion blind you.
Have a good day friend
This is just a opinion

Once the US got involved it was only a matter of time & the outcome was almost a foregone conclusion. Japan made a big mistake in attacking Pearl Harbor & Hitler sealed his fate by supporting his ally. Both countries were low on resources in 1945 & the manufacturing power & sheer numbers of the Allies was too great. This was one of the reasons they were at war in the first place.
This is an interesting point & I'm not sure what would have happened if losses had continued on that scale for much longer. Night bombing is not the most accurate as the Luftwaffe & RAF found out (although they didn't have the Norden bombsight). It also brings other problems as the Luftwaffe nightfighters were already very effective. I think we came very close to finding out before the P-51D appeared on the scene, hence my remark in my first reply. If a single aircraft changed the course of the war in Europe it was the Mustang.
