This is ridiculous. This is like advertising a secret Nazi Zombie Occult Holdout on the moon, but then instead the Nazis end up in Caribbean and on Haiti and run voodoo/magic shops there to fund their movement. If you want to have Germany make this epic last stand, why not Norway or the Alpenfortress? Why not do exactly what delusional paranoid allied leaders feared Germany would do? Dig in the Alpes? Why make a last stand at the German endpoint of the flat European plain in the North? Why? Why why, I am crying, why do they always do this? This is so lame.

because at that point the german reich ceased to exist, and so did any point in continued fight. Btw berlin was defended by literal children because there were no soldiers or munitions left
>This is ridiculous.
there is no realistic scenario where germany wins ww2 if everything went well for them. Nukes were originally designed as a tool for buckbreaking germans. If the UK gave up and germs were given full control of continental europe, berlin and hamburg would be wiped off the map instead of nagasaki and hiroshima. Probably a few cities more since germans would definitely be reluctant to give up everything they already acquired.
The ridiculous part is you thinking there is any way of germany winning ww2 other than exploiting the shit out of the game's retarded unrealistic mechanics
>Why not do exactly what delusional paranoid allied leaders feared Germany would do? Dig in the Alpes?

Hoi3 faggot reporting in.
I wish hoi3 had a 1945 scenario. Latest is the June 1944 scenario. Far too easy to win by wiping out D-Day, then retaking all of Italy, all while retreating and reorganizing on the Eastern front, even on very hard. German forces represented are way too powerful for 1944, they fucked that one up completely. The only thing that prevents going on the immediate offensive on the Eastern front is the supply. So you have to let the Russians advance all the way to Berlin and then begin slicing and dicing them.

There is an extremely easy and realistic scenario where Germany wins ww2, it's called churchill doesn't get in power so Britain accepts the offer from Germany to give back the entirety of western Europe as long as they agree to not support the soviets, you know, the offer that was quietly swept under the rug after the deciding vote, churchill, voted no, because it would've been terrible for morale since the British and French thought they were fighting a war for survival when there was an offer that would've given everything back without a single drop of blood. The offer that everyone on every side of the how could Germany win ww2 argument ignores for some reason, curious.
>>
>>1872950
>go to war with someone because he's broken like 11 treaties and promises in a row
>dude he's offering us this totally sweet peace deal, we should take it
You really are stupid aren't you. Don't forget that prior to the war Hitler had cooked up a number of plans to try and match the Royal Navy and any attempt at peace was almost certainly to buy time. And that's simply ignoring that leaving most of Europe to be run by a bunch of retards isn't really doing anyone any favours other than the natsoc dipshits 80 years later who worship a bunch of corrupt leftist mediocrities
>>
>>1872952
Aside from the fact that before the offers he had done nothing but speak fondly of Britain and its people? What, exactly, does Germany stand to gain by abandoning the entirety of western Europe? Allowing the French resistance fighters to reman the factories and recruit more people to fortify the maginot line with the full might of the British army and airforce with no surprise option left through the lowlands? With the navies including shipping being left completely unmolested?
>Bro he just wanted us to let our guard down by throwing away every single advantage he gained by taking us off guard so he could take us off guard again by somehow invading the isles with the non existent German navy from a worse position that is also completely unsupported by air unless he reinvades the now heavily defended France and only then is he back in the same position he was except in a worse position because of all the losses he would sustain against the ussr bro it's 400d chess you don't understand
????????????????
>>
>>1872959
First off, find where he ever actually offered any legitimate peace terms to Britain. He didn't, all he did was give a speech where he said "we should stop fighting" which means fucking nothing. Second, you would have to be a complete and utter fucking retard (you) to think you could trust the words of Hitler on literally anything ever. Chamberlain himself said that any treaty with Hitler would just be a second Munich agreement 2 years after the first one. Third, there's genuine reasons, ideological and practical, as to why Britain had no interest in letting Hitler control all of continental Europe and chose to fight rather than surrender. Fourth, this wasn't just Churchill's idea. He may have been the leading voice but many of the votes and meetings on the issue were unanimous decisions with the various dominions all agreeing to fight Hitler to the very end. Fifth, it's telling you stupid you are that you can't conceive him talking up and making friends with someone just so he could maneuver into a better position to stab them in the back once he was ready to do so when that's literally exactly what he did to the Soviets.

You acting like Hitler was this magnanimous gentleman and Britain was driven to ruin by Churchill alone out of spite or something is beyond delusional and so incredibly simplified and biased it beggers belief.

The Allies had air parity pretty early on and absolute air supremecy before the war was out. Bomber Harris would have reduced Germany to ash if his own people hadn't stopped him, you think the late war US with B29s and nukes was gonna be stopped?
>but muh jets
Hahahaha. Not a single German wonder weapon could change the fact that the western allies had far more men, far far greater industry, far far far far far more fuel and natural resources and basically infinite time to chose their methods of German destruction.
>>
>>1873138
mutts would absolutely literally swim over and launch strategic bombers from *somewhere* in range, possibly even from british airstrips. Keep in mind german jet fighter experiments were very expensive and happened only because allies already had air superiority over the luftwaffe. What makes you think US, with infinitely more resources and possibilities would, would just keel over and die? I'd rather bet US jet-based strategic bombers nuke hamburg, berlin, and munich in this alt history scenario. Germany could never have won ww2, they just couldn't fight the whole world and keep control over massive swaths of territories that constantly revolt. German idea of winning ww2 was based on ridiculous overextension (babby's first strategic mistake) and all the planets in the galaxy aligning just right for them lmao
>>

>First off, find where he ever actually offered any legitimate peace terms to Britain. He didn't, all he did was give a speech where he said "we should stop fighting" which means fucking nothing.
There are various speeches in 39, 40, 41, and 42, as well as various actual offers of peace recorded by works such as "The Hitler-Hess Deception" which states that he made no less than 16 official offers of peace and one of said offers that I have been mentioning was detailed in a 1943 American Mercury edition also known as "The Inside Story of the Hess Flight,"
>>1873123
So the united states would declare war on a Germany that had peaced out with the allies while giving them terms that were equal to a return to the status quo just to drop atomic bombs on civilian cities? At least try to pretend like the united states aren't the bad guys.

it really takes a wehraboo to not know it was the germans who declared war by sinking US ships and convoys in the atlantic ocean, when japan attacked in the pacific. Basically US was forced to teach the morphine addicts some manners
>>
>>1873511
But Germany was sinking (practically) American ships (and viceversa) since earlier though. Hitler didn't declare war for no reason. It allowed his uboats to go all out and stop American shipments to the UK (and by extension the Soviet Union). Unfortunately Japan wasn't doing much to cover the Bering strait, so that was kind of useless.
>>

Why did he want to fight the US in the first place, though? If, as you as say, he was an unreliable fellow who didn't follow any treaty or alliance, he would have simply left the Japanese to America if it wasn't in his interests and moved on. To deny the very real strategic reasons behind the conflict is stupid. In addition, Hitler was very conscious of America's power (unlike Mussolini who underestimated her), considering the US overall an economically and racially enviable country and even a model. But, even so, he still somewhat underestimated its real capabilities. Truly the cheat code of nations.

I never said he was a mastermind finessing shit. He's a conman, full of himself, who successfully played a number of marks for fools and was surprised when they caught on quicker than he expected and were more pissed than he understood. Full of a certain cunning and skill, but hardly a super genius at diplomacy or warfare.
>stumbled into war
Here's a question then. If he's an honourable ally who mainly declared war on America in solidarity with Japan despite not really needing to, then what's stopping him from also declaring war on the British that he had just made peace with when the Japanese attack them? To remain consistent he would have no other choice

>If he's an honourable ally who mainly declared war on America in solidarity with Japan despite not really needing to
You can't read, my point is exactly the opposite, that it was useful to do so regardless of allegiances. You're the one who made him declare war on America out of obligation (ie for no reason). In so far as your question goes, Hitler wasn't particularly stoked about anti-colonialism. As long as Britain accepts the new continental state of affairs (or even better gets closer to Germany) there is hardly a reason for war. Not like Germany could navally invade it anyway.
>Seethe more kraut, my country and my family tree is whiter than yours
You're actively delusional at this point. Your country is minority white, your neighbors are dog-eating Haitians and your grandchildren will most likely be mixed. Also, not a kraut.
>>
Germany selflessly fought against the Western imperialists for the freedom of all European peoples, and brought order to a Europe tormented by the despotism of mafia-like warlords. But the British greedily saw this as a threat to business interests in Europe, and gave huge sums of aid and military support to said warlords. Germany was forced to make war with the U.K., already a de facto belligerent by proxy.

The German soldiers fought with unparalleled valor, yet always chivalrously, always fairly. The British, on the other hand, fought with scornful negligence of the principles of just and legitimate warfare, massacring hundreds of thousands of innocent German civilians in a ruthless campaign of terror bombings and, most atrociously, deploying the fire bombs over Hamburg and Dresden, a barbaric form of warfare alien to the very spirit of German culture and morality.

Perhaps the sad truth is that the world is to malicious a place for a country like Germany. If she would only have condescended to the same filthy kind of warfare that the British and the Russians waged, it is possible, even likely, that she would have prevailed.

In the light of history, Germany is the greatest victim of WWII.

Of course he would declare war on the US. He was on a mystical march to victory in a war of gods

This is cope. Germany could have and probably would have defeated the Soviets without allied intervention.

things would've been touch-and-go without 100% of lend lease sure but a loss of just 45% is a tough sell for a german-victory scenario - it might just as well make the soviets more docile for their own good
also the soviets had no plan of invasion for Germany except in the case of Germany attacking first. If the Soviets had any intention of attacking, at least in the short term (i.e. an actual plan and not a counterattack drawn up by zhukov in an hour), Stalin wouldn't have sat and watched as Germany gathered its entire army for operation barbarossa.

It always baffles me that people thibk Mussolini was the crazy partner in the Axis and not Hitler.
