Wrong cause and effect. Invasion was delayed because of the weather.
It could not have been successfully launched earlier that year. That
freed up the Army for use in Yugoslavia.

Russia was ALSO preparing for war against Germany. Russia would have
gained relatively more and the war would not have gone as well for
Germany.

A. "What if he invested more in airpower"
How much more could he have 'invested'?
What should he have cut?
How much more real improvement could be gained?

B. "and won the close Battle of Britian"
True, the RAF in southern Britian had been pushed
to the edge (but Germany did not know that,
and tried other tactics, which gave a reprieve).
But the RAF still...

  What if you do not watch this video..........................(it maybe a life changing)..................................

Some hundred thousands people saw it....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOg4fAX8jc4

Were they all having an illusion ?

If you manage to love those who want to harm you, then you will gain
something beyond any imagination.
Anything opposing to the above is at least suspicious (don't you agree
with that, deep in your soul?)

Keep you eyes open, for the things to come... and do not be afraid,
because your soul is untouchable.
Do not care about your mortal body. After all, it is just a matter of
time to disintegrate.
No fear, my sisters and brothers.

(After reading this, if you feel you need to do something, then send
this video-page to your friends and family. Thank you.)

I think the biggest what if is simply he doesn't invade russia. By not
invading russia he very well could have been in a position to
negotiate a peace deal. Probably would have had to withdraw from
france, but very well might have kept all of eastern europe.

  Hitler's blunders

Date: Aug 1, 2008 16:09

What if Hitler didn't make so many blunders:

1) What if he didn't invade Russia late. It was half way into summer
before operation Operation Barbarossa began because his army was off
fighting in Yugoslavia earlier that year.

2) What if Hitler had waited until the next year to invade Russia and
spent the winter prepairing:

a) winterizing his troops with proper clothing and stoves.
b) testing men and equipment in Norway to figure out what works.
c) Learned from Finland or its soldiers how they defeated the Russians.

3) What if he never took meth which was likely the reason for many of
his mistakes and premature aging? (This was before much was known about
meth and Hitler thought he was getting vitamin shots).

4) What if he didn't waste a lot of time destroying the troops he had
surrounded early in the invasion, but starved them out while he made a
bee line to Stralingrad and Moscow before they could be fortified?

5) What if he invested more in airpower and won the close Battle of
Britian and used that to destroy Britian's fleet?

  Britannia ISOT         


Author: Louis Epstein
Date: Jul 14, 2008 23:42

With regard to the recent s.h.w-i thread on Great Britain (with or without
Man?...the Hebrides?...the Isle of Wight?) being swapped between 100 and
1600 AD...

I believe the closest persons in succession to the 1600 thrones who would
not be part of the swap would be the Portugese pretender (exiled since
1580,I think in the Netherlands) descended from John of Gaunt's eldest
daughter,to the English throne,and Charles Emanuel of Savoy to the
Scottish throne.

They might not be in a position to assert their rights against the
Romans but there would likely be some effort to use them as a fig leaf of
legitimacy.

Overseas possessions were so meager that the senior representatives
of the vanished government might be in the Channel Islands...Man was
a separate feudality and Ireland I think treated as a separate kingdom.

I don't know what presence Christianity had in 100-AD Britain,this
was well before the time of St. Alban.

As for the reverse swap...would the Earl of Nottingham (as he then was)
be leading fleets against the Romans?

  WI Constantinople Falls in 678?         


Author: Louis Epstein
Date: Jul 14, 2008 23:32

The Islamic Caliphate actually besieged Constantinople as early as 678
(over 750 years before its eventual fall).

What if it DID fall then?

-=-=-
The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
