When they joined in they did play a massive role. However I believe ultimately the result would have been the same.

I suppose the UK and occupied Europe did not appreciate the thought of joining their enemy in this endeavor.

The Soviet Union was an Ally because it fought Germany.  The mindset was, "We will deal with that communism/world domination thing after the war" - but we didn't, leading to a 40 year cold war.

Not all the Germans. And this "teaming up with the Reich against Russia" feeling also came from the island.

For one thing, Hitler noted the "English" relationship to its Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) origins -- not that Russia was totally void of it.
As already stated, the U.S. was already involved in the war, the major Allied supplier. Germany could not compete with this: even supplies in the areas Germany was taking over were being decimated in the process.
Hitler well knew that Germany's most notable allies (Soviet Union and Italy) were under the leadership of world-power-wanna-be's.
Italy wasn't seen as much of an actual future threat to Germany or the world (many Italians were not supporters of their own leader -- even fewer after his 'partnership' with Hitler, a partnership that committed extra German forces/supplies to areas where they weren't originally intended to go).
Hitler's view of Stalin and the Soviet Union was quite different.  The Soviet Union was definately a future threat. While Germany's resources were totally committed to -- and drained by-- a continuing war, the Soviets could continue to build and refine their resources under a leader who would never remain subservient to anyone else.
Also, Hitler was already planning for open war with the United States. He couldn't maintain world control with two huge, unsubjugated lumps in it (U.S. and U.S.S.R.); with the U.K. (Canada, Australia... all combined ) remaining in the equation, certainly not.
Unable to take the U.K. out of it by force, attempting to ally it -- at least for the time being -- was an alternative by which he might at least take out one definite, major threat.

Um, like designing an "Amerika Bomber" just for the fun of it (that wouldn't have given us a "wake-up"?); this was begun well before the BoB had even begun. His original thought seems to have been that he could overwhelm the UK home island and the rest of the UK would dissolve or fall in line -- there was no way to maintain any objective with the UK against him.

Sorry -- there's more but have to quit.

Quote:


It was actually his own objective. But since France and Britain protected Poland and joined the war, he had to fight them, although I think that France had to be overrun nonetheless, due to Versailles. If he had really planned to attack Britain, he would have ordered his Generals to prepare for an invasion way earlier, and not two months before the BoB.

Quote:


I don't think so. The so-called "Amerika bomber" was either planned in the case that the US joined the war in Europe later on, or research on this bomber had begun in 1942 and not earlier.

Quote:


Well, they made a nice impression with things like the "buzz-bombs" and the V-2. If they could have gotten the V-4 into service, and fired a few of them in the direction of New York, it would have certainly made an impression on the US.

The only mainland territory of America to be invaded during World War II were the rather small Aleutian Islands by Japanese forces.  This by a force experienced in amphibious invasions, and more than proficient in defense (Later to be demonstrated at Okinawa and Iwo Jima).  I don't know the specifics, but the distance Japan had to travel is nothing foreign to them if past campaigns are of any measure.  Granted, the Japanese were not replused, but rather willingly pulled out.
  As Hagar points out, the Germans faced the ever more frustrating prospect of crossing the Channel, and would have the utmost difficulty in ever doing so.  Somehow reaching North America would be a daunting prospect.  Unless they could somehow launch from Japan, but then logistics would be just as problematic.  How Germany could succeed where Japan fell short in it's own game is beyond my comprehension.
  It's unlikely Hitler truly even wanted to concern himself with America from the start.

Quote:


If it wasn't for the Channel, Britain would have fallen as easily as the Low Countries in 1940. The only defense there was was the RAF...which was almost wiped out by September 1940.

Quote:


The russian government did to their soldiers what the nazi government did to theirs, namely filling them with hate against the other side, hence the raping and pillaging and stuff. But the russians did all that on a larger scale than the german soldiers.

Quote:


Were not. They were more or less a better option for PoW candidates.

Quote:


No, they wipe out entire cities with bombs instead...

Quote:


Aussies,eh? They've only seen a small part of the war.

Quote:


Think about it. Most of the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht was bound to the eastern front. With more Luftwaffe planes in the air, the absolute allied air supremacy could have never been created and any invasion attempt would have been crushed.

Quote:


LoL? They weren't even as far as Moskau. And there would have still been Siberia left.

He simply stuffed his nose into his Generals' affairs....and was successful with that at first.
