Hitler now has direct access to the Caucuses and the Middle East from day one of the war. How fucked are the western allies?
Axis wins. Germany really didn't need much more to win the war. They had a good chance and with Turkey it probably is more likely than not.
1938, Stalin shits himself and Molotov signs no pact. Hitler backs off of Poland / Danzig.1941, maybe late 1941, there's a good shot at Baku.
>>18486333Just because its fascist doesnt mean it joins the Axis.Greece and Portugal had a fascist government too and they were pro-allies.It's going to be hard to convince Turkey to join the Axis for two reasons:1. Allies controling the international trade routes.2. Italian autism on the whole "our sea" agenda.Nevertheless if we play with the idea that Turkey joins Axis anyway because reasons, and participate in Barbarossa, it will be hard for Germany to use divisions attacking from Turkey without completely alarming Stalin who will absolutely see it as a preparation for invasion.It's still going to be a hard-pressed mission for Turkey because of the utterly insane amount of Red Army divisions in 1941 (they had over 300 divisions, the German intel anticipated less than 140). The Sovietts had so many divisions stationed in the Caucasus even in 1941 that they were able to invade all of Iran during Barbarossa.Worst case scenario the Soviets will have scorch the Baku oilfields like they did with Maikop when the Germans were within reach.If push comes to shove the British bomber fleet in Mesopotamia (which had been there since preparations for Operation Pike) will fully commit to the Caucasus battle and destroy the oilfields (as was originally intended) if Axis threaten to capture them.The "soft underbelly" strategy of the allies may also include Turkey, making the Middle East a far more concentrated frontline for the allies.
>>18486377>Stalin ignored the 4m men on his border from Murmansk to Galati>but he would totally be over the fence with 200,000 roaches in nothing ever happens landget out
>>18486333not much considering Turkey barely had an army by that point along with heavily relying on Allied trade which would instantly be cut off
Istambul is named Marxgrad in this timeline
>>18486333idk but those Balkan and Greek commie assholes would have been in for a nasty surprise.
>>18486333People always talk about Mussolini being the first modern fascist but really it was Ataturk.
>>18486444Their low population stopped them
>>18486549Stop, I can only orgasm so much oooooh
>>18486444>heavily relying on allied trade???Turkey had specifically, along with Greece, arranged for an economic bloc with Germany.Did you… just make this up so you could say “seee chud Nazis can’t win so don’t be Nazis!” There’s a lot of people on this board doing this exact thing. I think you’re one of them.Turkey had an army that defeated the British empire not even two decades prior btw.
>>18486549>>18487327Roaches are natural predators of Slavic boyim.You’d see hairy roaches ass raping HIVans all the way to the Urals.Slavs ran out of men. Every young man was in the Red Army and even then the Germans still held them off until American bombings destroyed their country.Slavs can’t fight. We’ve seen the videos in Orkraine.Slavs literally sit down and die lol
