Hitler would've won the war if. . .

History shows us that good always wins eventually because it is the victorious who write history. :hmm:



Anyway, concerning my claims earlier this thread, I've done some slightly better research and found out my sources were rather thin. (Secondary online sources quoting a revisionist essay.)

Still, it is an interesting theory, and I still belive, as most of Hitler's generals, that a war between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia was inevitable.

And concerning Mauser K98k vs. M1 Garand.

They are different rifles, representing different doctrines. American infantry doctrine was based around the riflemen, while the German infantry doctrine was based more around the machine gun team.

The Garand might be better than the Mauser for suppressive fire, but that doesn't matter much, when the Germans are supported by a MG42.

You can't really say which one is better, as both doctrines have their advantages and disadvantages. The American doctrine is the one that has survived, but that is because of technological improvement as well as its efficiency.
