Early in 42 we were very close to being knocked out of the war in the atlantic thanks to Drumbeat. If a coastal campgain was launched on both sides of the US we would have been like Germany '45 with enemies advancing on both fronts. I agree with I-25 here they wouldn't have defeated the US but they could have gotten us to agree to their terms.
