As I was born in the colonies I think I would have been. The Nazi would still want sugar, bauxite, gold, diamonds and bananas wouldn't they? I would never have made it to London though.

Nothing much would be different, the UK would probably be better off having had our war debts written off and German army bases in the UK instead of British ones in Germany. Both countries would have elected around 35 new governments between then and now. perhaps the British car industry would still have British owners?

And most importantly Lickety would still be here as we would still have needed new workers from the colonies to replace those killed.

did the USA lose to Japan in this fantasy?

Whats interesting is what the germans though of us during the war

"In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set - then at least I'll own something that has always worked."

That is like going into hospital for major life saving surgery then slagging off the doctor because the wound is a bit sore.

By late '78/early'79 Britain's economic disease was terminal (I know because I was there) Of course Mrs T wielded the knife, and not every cut was a good one, but 10 years on and the country, as a whole, was a damn site better off than when she started. Although maybe still limping a bit.

Being totally boring, and looking at how countries normalise after pretty much every war that has ever been fought, Had the Germans not gone to war with Russia and the USA had stayed out of it, the UK would probably have fallen in 1942 at the latest. Many would not have died, including those in the work camps in Germany, the USSR would never have existed, and by now the global picture would look very much as it is now.

But perhaps we would still be using phone boxes...

the lack of a cold war would have stifled attempts to get into space, microchips and computers would not have developed so fast, other wars based on capitalism v communism would not have happened. the middle east would not have a problem controlling fundementalsm, Israel would not exist and America would never have been there so if they did it would not spill out as hatred of the west.

As for the NAZI party, they would by now have gone the way of the Social Democrats.

I like your dad. Not so keen on your grand parents

No one knows what it would have been like. My opinion is the status quo is generally found.

As someone else on this thread has hinted at, look at the USSR. It collapsed with mass conflict as previous countries want of national pride and independance returned.

I suspect eventually the same would have occured throughout Europe.

I also agree technological progress may have been stiffled.

It depends on whether we were defeated by them or we allied with them.

If we lost then the UK would look like some of the shitter parts of Europe do today.

If we allied with them then we would talk about Stalin like we do Hitler (today) and we would all specialise in making apologies for the Nazi's like we do the Soviets "Nazi ideology is good in theory, it just didn't work in practice".

No rose tinted glasses involved, Hitler and some of the people close to him are NOT the German race, but war blinded most Germans to what was happening. we have had the same "ethnic clensing" since, but it only really happens on that scale when war stops the normal people noticing.

Thank you, but that was post war, when Russia ruled East Germany and 4 stroke engines were an impossible dream.

Followed one once in Hungary, it was interesting, family of 5 in it getting to about 30mph, 15 on hills though.

Only experienced 2 stroke in motorcycle engines, but love the simplicity and lack of moving parts in them.

A lot of racial hate would have been encouraged to flow. Swingers events would have been closed down as sexual crimes. A lot of us would be executed as we are openly Bisexual. The Nazi regime, while not starting out with hatred, brought people fuled by hatred towards it. It was these men who made it a disgusting party

Have you read "Hitler's Willing Executioners" by Daniel Goldberg? It contends that the German people (and others in occupied areas) were far more aware of and complicity in what was going on than generally thought.

The Nuremburg Trials managed, perhaps by accident rather than design, to cement the idea that a small number of Nazis were responsible for the crimes. Of course, Western Europe had a desperate need to absolve the German people in order to stave off communism but perhaps also The human psyche simply does not wish to recognise the horror that we are capable of.

It's a very interesting read (not uncontroversial) which flies in the face of

Yes I believe that humans are destructive, and tribal hatred is just held in place by normal civilisation. In times of war, it surfaces in many. Just look at BNP and it's more socially acceptable offspring UKIP. to see that hatred of difference to the perceived norm is common in many people.

But in times of peace a more rational civilised normality takes hold and the few twisted people are held in check.

"Israel would not have existed because Hitler would have been free to carry on exterminating Jews and many other minorities at his leisure. Take of the rose tinted spectacles, Hitler and the rest of the Nazi's were and would be appalling. Astonishing comments.

No rose tinted glasses involved, Hitler and some of the people close to him are NOT the German race, but war blinded most Germans to what was happening. we have had the same "ethnic clensing" since, but it only really happens on that scale when war stops the normal people noticing.

Have you read "Hitler's Willing Executioners" by Daniel Goldberg? It contends that the German people (and others in occupied areas) were far more aware of and complicity in what was going on than generally thought.

The Nuremburg Trials managed, perhaps by accident rather than design, to cement the idea that a small number of Nazis were responsible for the crimes. Of course, Western Europe had a desperate need to absolve the German people in order to stave off communism but perhaps also The human psyche simply does not wish to recognise the horror that we are capable of.

It's a very interesting read (not uncontroversial) which flies in the face of "

Yup good book and a definite eye opener. I can also attest that nazi sensibilities are still much alive in Germany particularly in the east. In fact, they have an annual march from Leipzig city centre to the Battle of Nations monument.

I've personally experienced such prejudice there, sad to say.

Social Democrats and Trade Unionists were amongst the first people to be rounded up and sent to work camps.

"The propaganda would have been such that we'd probably believe our Fuhrer was a noble, conquering hero that saved us all from the verminous filth of the world."

Playing devils advocate here.

How do you know he wasn't trying to save us from the verminous filth of the world and we are the ones believing the propoganda?

Just because you've read something or seen it on a documentary doesn't make it true.

For all we know Hitler was an idealist but a few rogues within his party and since took it further than he wanted or believed.

Personally I think he had small person syndrome and the rest is s by product

Now you're talking, I don't think he did. I think it's all a cover up to ditract from the fact that Xemu was the one who invented the atom bomb - where else do you suggest thetans come from?

What i find funny is that people dont think in 70 years the party and politics would have changed at all.

Those saying gays would be persecuted for instance.

We had it as a crime during the war too just look at Turing our treatment of homosexuals bak then was abhorrent but we changed.

I think simmilar changes wouls have happened no matter who won over the years

Read my initial post and I make it clear I am playing devils advovate.

All I'm doing is inviting discussion. We all know how propoganda works. Lets face it, the majority of the population believed d*unk Liverpool supporters were responsible for the death of 96 if their own based on? Propoganda and a cover up. Or is that another conspiracy?

People on here are assuming all gay/ bi people, jews, communists etc would have been exterminated based on what we have been fed by propoganda. The truth is we don't know what would have happened but chances are as war finishes tolerance takes over. History has taught us that is more often than not the case.

At the Wannsee Conference in Berlin 1942 Reinhard Heydrich and company drew up lists of Jewish numbers per country yet to be occupied. These were lists of potential victims. Had Germany invaded they would have annihilated every last one of them including my grandmother and mother (who was 6 when the war started). Make no mistake. All writings and political decisions attest to a COMPLETE lack of tolerance by the Nazi's. It was enshrined in their beliefs and political organisation.

You need to read a bit more about it. The evidence is all there in the public domain.

Your making a logical error!

Genuine conspiracy requires people to shut their mouth and know their role, which they aren't generally good at. Therefore, genuine conspiracies usually get uncovered. The larger the conspiracy, the quicker this will happen.

The idea that nobody knows the Hitler didn't write Mein Kampf is less plausible than the idea that Hitler didn't write Mein Kampf.

Hitler dictated the book to Hoess in Landesburg prison where he was sent after the failed Munich Putsch. He had it published in his own name and often used the same rhetoric in the book in his speeches. Therefore, even if we can say he didn't physically write it it was still a book of ideas he utterly believed in. As dictator for 12 years if he did not believe in those words it was within his power to suppress the book in the many book burnings held across Germany at the time.

I think that everyone would be blonde and blue eyed and if you weren't at birth then you'd be put to rest.

Procreation would be by insemination.

Trains would run on time and the shops would be full of pumpernickel, sauerkraut and jam filled ginger hearts.

All undesirables would have been exterminated.

The tories wouldn't exist in their present form which is simply too far right for Nazis.

The under fives would attend goosestepping school.

Eidelweiss would grow in every garden.

Pubs would sell hot beer.

People wouldn't be so sexually hung up ... and kinky would lose it's meaning.

Europe would be one massive continent with one name...... but there'd be a few italian ice cream shops and some kids would be called Franco

"the silliest things" really, perhaps you should stop trying to use 'sarcasm' and 'irony' when in fact a subject matter is so incredibly wrong for that. 6 million people did not get killed by one or two people, it was endemic in German society, which is partly why Germany had been so anti military for the past 70 years. I just think you are sad making light of this. As another poster said, please read around the subject and perhaps some proper books - ones that didn't get burned by the Nazi's...

"The propaganda would have been such that we'd probably believe our Fuhrer was a noble, conquering hero that saved us all from the verminous filth of the world.

Playing devils advocate here.

How do you know he wasn't trying to save us from the verminous filth of the world and we are the ones believing the propoganda?

Just because you've read something or seen it on a documentary doesn't make it true.

For all we know Hitler was an idealist but a few rogues within his party and since took it further than he wanted or believed.

Personally I think he had small person syndrome and the rest is s by product

No. All we know definitively is absolutely recorded. Hitler was a rabid antisemite. Listen to his speeches. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Ah but how to do you know *insert bizzare logic*?

As opposed to actual knowledge and understanding based on proven research.

Yeah but what about -insert conspiracy theory-?

Insert it where?

Read my initial post and I make it clear I am playing devils advovate.

All I'm doing is inviting discussion. We all know how propoganda works. Lets face it, the majority of the population believed d*unk Liverpool supporters were responsible for the death of 96 if their own based on? Propoganda and a cover up. Or is that another conspiracy?

People on here are assuming all gay/ bi people, jews, communists etc would have been exterminated based on what we have been fed by propoganda. The truth is we don't know what would have happened but chances are as war finishes tolerance takes over. History has taught us that is more often than not the case.

Your making a logical error!

Genuine conspiracy requires people to shut their mouth and know their role, which they aren't generally good at. Therefore, genuine conspiracies usually get uncovered. The larger the conspiracy, the quicker this will happen.

The idea that nobody knows the Hitler didn't write Mein Kampf is less plausible than the idea that Hitler didn't write Mein Kampf.

I have never said I think it's a conspiracy that he didn't write Mein Kampf.

Yes Hitler and his cohorts were evil, and encouraged allowed many others to be evil too.

But to give it some context on the gay issue, being homosexual in England was illegal until 1967, Germany was a year behind England.

In Scotland it was illegal until 1980.

Having marched in the 80s for Gay rights I can only agree with you that this was horrendous. As was the fact that Women only got the vote in the UK in 1918 for 30 and over and 1928 for 21 and over!

And Switzerland in 1971!

Equality means every gender, every colour, every creed, every religious persuasion (although this one gets a bit corrupted nowadays as many 'religions' are seemingly aimed at persecuting non-believers)

However - "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", but I certainly don't have to agree with some of the nonsense on this thread.

there were a lot of good men classed as Nazis, many good fighting men who fought very hard

you need to remember these men were at war same as our side and allies.

Many marched to France after the war, joined the Legion, fought in indo china There definetely were former members of the SS in the Foreign Legion, Waffen SS were well trained disciplined men of war

Many settled in Vietnam during the war with France & later the USA

Many marched to Sudetenland, Poland, Denmark, Notway, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France during the war as well!

Stop being a war apologist, the German forces, especially the Waffen SS, were brutal and killed many people even before we start to look at concentration camps. The lifes of people under German occupation was not pleasant in any way.

Yes we can accept that after the war we have to move on and let everybody rebuild their life's, but don't paint the German forces as a bunch of guys 'who were just following orders'...

The vast majority of SS men were die hard Nazi's even in the fighting units (Waffen SS) Including the wife's great uncle who was SS Leibstandarte which was not only a fighting unit but also provided Hitler's personal bodyguard. She never knew him because, although he survived the war, he was killed in an accident shortly afterwards. No-one alive in the family today knows (or will say) exactly what he did during those times but from a photo I have seen he at least reached the rank of Hauptsturmfuhrer (equivalent to a captain in the army)

On the other side of the coin her grandparents (on the other side of the family) hid then helped a Jewish family escape from Germany just before the outbreak of the war. In the last weeks of the war the same grandparents also hid their 15 year old son (the wife's father) telling the Volkssturm recruiters that he had disappeared during an air raid.

If you dig deep enough you will find similar stories in most German families.

There was no black and white just a full spectrum from dyed in the wool Nazi's to (albeit underground) full blown opposition and everything in between.

There was propaganda on both sides the UK government ran the ministry of information (something along those lines) the US had a similar propaganda department and the Nazis had theirs.

Hitler.. Yeah pretty nasty guy.

But then so was Winston Churchill.

Bomber Harris did stuff Winston Churchill disproved of!.

I'm dammed sure some Nazi members did stuff Hitler disproved of, to the best of my knowledge last time I looked, nobody had ever found one single document proving Hitler even knew about the concentration camps let alone gave every order for them... That means some very nasty Nazi party members who probably were more mixed up in them got away with it more than they should have.

I can't think of the guys name now but the Nazi hunter Simon something spent his entire life tracking down dozens of some of the worst atrocity makes for 50 or 60 years, Africa, south America, Europe,crazily some had even hidden in Israel!.

Most of them just liked torturing and killing people, it really had no more meaning than that, they didn't particularly hate Jews or gays(some were gay themselves) or gypsies, they were just the ones they could "get away" with but sure as hell there'd be coming along the line for everybody else because they were "fucking nuts".

As for the car question....

In 1932, Adolf Hitler wanted his German citizens to have the same access to a car as the Americans and so ordered the production of a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph).

So the answer is, "probably, yes".

Hiroshima and Nagasaki aside the bombing of Dresden was probably the most controversial raid in the whole of WW2. However it is very easy to fall into the trap of looking at mid 20th century history through 21st century eyes.

Although the German army was in retreat in early 1945 it was still putting up a spirited resistance and the Russians were losing thousands upon thousands of troops.

At the Yalta conference a couple of weeks before Dresden it was discussed as to how the western allies could help the Russians in an attempt to shorten the war and depending on who you believe Stalin did (or didn't) specifically ask for Dresden to be bombed.

It was widely believed at the time that the Germans were transferring troops from the western front to the east, and bombing Dresden and Leipzig, which were both important railway junctions, would not only hinder this but would also have an effect on German morale.

In wartime many decisions have to be taken looking at the overall picture. For example: Let's imagine for a moment that Dresden was not bombed. Because of this the German army managed to redeploy units from the west and hold up the Russians until November (as was widely believed could happen) at the cost of many thousands of Russian lives. Would historians be kind to Churchill, Harris and Co. for knowingly letting a was shortening target escape? I think not.

BTW. Although Harris gets most of the stick for Dresden it should be remembered that nearly as many American aircraft took part in the raids as RAF.

The German Blitz's of British cities were not accidental.

We goaded them into it, they were attacking the radar installations along the south coast and without them the RAF was done for!.

So bomber command came up with the idea to bomb Berlin and German cities so that the Germans would deliberately retaliate and bomb British cities, thus taking away their abilities to attack the radar stations, hell the Luftwaffe even warned Hitler that was the British intention... Of course Hitler being Hitler he returned to Berlin from his house in Austria to be with the people during the bombing of Berlin and after a few days his intolerance grew, where he announced to the Berliners that they would return the bombing ten fold on London!.

Of course Churchill had moved from London, he was a smart military cookie unlike Hitler!

Hitler was a vindictive so-and-so...

* Hitler planned to take Nelson's Column to Berlin.

* Hitler decreed that Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Winston Churchill, was to serve as the overall headquarters of the German occupation military government.

* A Channel 5 documentary broadcast on 16 July 2009 repeated the claim that the Germans intended to restore Edward VIII to the throne in the event of a German occupation.

Einsatzgruppen (lit., "task forces" which operated as death squads) under Dr. Franz Six were to follow the invasion force to establish the New Order. Six's headquarters were to be in London, with regional task forces in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh.

They were provided with a list (known as the Black Book) of 2,820 people to be arrested immediately.

The Einsatzgruppen were also tasked with liquidating Britain's Jewish population, which numbered over 300,000.

According to captured German documents, the commander-in-chief of the German Army, Walther von Brauchitsch, directed that "The able-bodied male population between the ages of 17 and 45 will, unless the local situation calls for an exceptional ruling, be interned and dispatched to the Continent."

This represented about 25% of male citizens.

The UK was then to be plundered for anything of financial, military, industrial or cultural value, and the remaining population terrorised.

Civilian hostages would be taken, and the death penalty immediately imposed for even the most trivial acts of resistance.

Watch: It Happened Here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Happened_Here

It Happened Here (also known as It Happened Here: The Story of Hitler's England) is a black-and white 1964 British World War II film written, produced and directed by Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo, who began work on the film as teenagers. The film's largely amateur production took some eight years, using volunteer actors with some support from professional filmmakers.

It Happened Here is set in an alternate history where the United Kingdom has been invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany. The plot follows the experiences of an Irish nurse working in England, who encounters people who believe collaboration with the invaders is for the best whilst others are involved in the resistance movement against the occupiers and their local collaborators.

Cheery, huh?

Of course Hitler being Hitler he returned to Berlin from his house in Austria to be with the people during the bombing of Berlin and after a few days his intolerance grew, where he announced to the Berliners that they would return the bombing ten fold on London!.

Of course Churchill had moved from London, he was a smart military cookie unlike Hitler!"

No no sorry. I usually like your posts but on this one you are (mostly) wrong.

What became known as the Battle of Britain started with the Luftwaffe, after harassing convoys in the channel, upping the ante by trying to destroy the RAF either on the ground or by bringing them to battle where they thought that German numerical superiority would win the day.

Hitler and the German high command were shit scared of the Royal Navy and the only way they could see a successful seaborne invasion of Britain was to have air superiority over the channel which would give them the ability to keep the RN in check. For this reason alone Hitler refused to launch "Operation Sealion" (the invasion of Britain) until the RAF was defeated.

Sorry about the preamble but now to city bombing.

During the Battle of Britain it is well documented that the first bombs dropped on London were by mistake. Luftwaffe pilots had strict orders NOT to bomb London.

Needless to say Britain retaliated with a small, pretty ineffective, raid on Berlin. As this was the first time Berlin had been attacked Hitler was incensed and ordered (against the better judgement of his field commanders) the Luftwaffe to switch to London as the main target.

It was not a deliberate ploy by bomber command just, as is often the case, a chain reaction of events that began with one mistake. I would add that in 1940 bomber command didn't have enough pilots or aircraft to mount a concerted bombing campaign against Germany.

However that mistake is probably what saved Britain in the dark days of the summer of 1940. The RAF was taking losses that if continued would probably have seen Hitler's plan come to fruition. It was only the switch to London that gave the RAF the breathing space it needed.
