Theres truth in the saying "necessity is the mother of all invention" .. and if you subscribe to the multiverse theory then Germany did win the war..just not in this universe!
In fact you can take that a step further and say that "did germany lose the war because of bad management or did they lose the war because in another universe they won it" .. The history of light says that all combinations have to be played out, hence...in some universes germany won the war but Hitler didn't see the end...in others germany won the war and Hitler survived to see the outcome..in others there will be combinations of possible scenarios....In some universes Russia won the war and carried on to subjecate the rest of the world......Stalin was infinetly scarier than Hitler!
Would the world have been a ugly place to live in by now if germany had won WW2...i doubt it!..in fact...i imagine it would be pretty much the way it is today..corrupt politicians setting the agenda with the interests of a few determining the lives of billions...We must always remember...The victors write history..not the losers.....Did the allies commit war crimes..you bet they did!!..what was the last hollywood film you saw that depicted that!

Not trying to depict Hitler and his regime in a positive light because it wasn't...theres no excuse for the barbaric slaughter of women and children regardless of religion or race but it's been proven without a shadow of a doubt that the allies knew what was happening in germany and didn't really try to do anything to stop it..Almost every nation has had persecution of the jews high on the agenda .. you just have to read your history books!..

Star trek mirror universe loved that whole niche' lol but yea i think every now and again of the multiverse reality but it seems implausible

Nopes....not Star Trek although sure, there were probably a few episodes where they jaunted out of our universe and into another but in classic Star Trek style the mechanics of it were all very dubious. Stargate tried to put some technology on it but still came up well short.
Stephen Hawkings though has explained it much better and has the agreement of a large chunk of the cosmology crew...It's apparently the only explanation that can explain some of our observations..
But yeh.....it does seem very unplausible to a general joe H.Sapien brain anno 2011.....I wonder what we'll be saying in 5011?

So I guess we can put you down as 'doubtful' on the whole 2012 thing...

It's just a bit of drama for those that like a bit of drama

US and Russian Submarines still don't reach the depth of a new german submarine (up to 700 meters and can stay submerged for weeks!!) Maybe it is because the newer generation of german submarines (VII C/41) were weldet and not riveted. Also i think its a matter of the choise of steel.
