Wow - Speculation at its finest. From lack of subs, to lack of bombers, to incorrectly trying to turn ME-262's into bombers, to discounting a jew who was trying to tell him how to build the bomb, to the bomber that could deliver that bomb to the US of A...The list is endless.

The short answer is, like all wars in history, it is the screw ups you make that cost you the war and Hitler made plenty of screw ups.

Hitler would've won the war if. . .
 
Actually everybody screws up in war. The party that wins the final Victory is the one who screwed up less than the looser. That's what war's about in my view.
:D

Usually, the stronger side wins: so, little hope for Germany and Japan (and Italy, if it has to be counted) to win against quite all other countries on the planet.

The big mistake was simply to make a world war in such conditions; really difficult to have a good outcome that way.

History is written by the winners, so to balance that out read some books by the losers. :hmm:

Curiously, this popular myth has actually been very much disproven by Germany in the 20's and early 30's - German historians (directly supported by the German foreign service) had at the time embarked on a campaign to present German involvement and causes of World War I less negatively and elicit sympathy from the west for the hardships that the Treaty of Versailles has brought upon them - and had actually succeeded. Although later revisions have tried to turn the War Guilt back on Germany, the more widespread opinion has ever since remained more or less sympathetic. :hmm:
