Romania had nowhere near enough

why didn't Germany just not invade USSR and leave it at that

Some evidence points to the Soviets preparing for an invasion in July of 1941

the big dumb decision on Hitler's part - if it had called it a day after the conquests of 1940, they could've kept the Reich

tbh

Stalin only used the non-aggression pact as an advantage because one of them were going to attack each other sooner or later

Yes but I think Germans would've had a much stronger military case with defense, rather than attack

Hello.

The Soviets and French should have just honored the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Alliance and completely annihilated Germany in 1938

Anyone like my name?

like, if they had the whole 1940, pre-Barbarossa Reich, and used all those armies *for defense*

no

they could've been viable

Maybe

cause USSR was also building up

but invasion of USSR was always a brainlet move

well yeah

And they had a shit ton of numbers

you make a point there, if they had been able to fully modernise (which they were *in middle of doing,* btw, in 1941) and use the Deep Battle strategy effectively, it could've ended bad for Germany nevertheless

The UK and France had so many chances to stop Hitler, and yet, they only tried to when it was too late

yeah

i mean the most infuriating part is the Saar Offensive

which,

if the French committed to it,

could've worked out to a pretty good extent

Yeah

What they should have done though is make Germany back down after it remilitarized the Rhineland

seriously wtf France

Even if the population would protest, Germany was in no way able to beat both the French and British military

you could've fucking done something

jfc

They should have honored the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Alliance

> have 40 divisions
> face 22 divisions

*decide not to do shit for keks*

If the French had stood up for the Czechs the Soviets would have as well

They should've

they should've yes

PeAcE iN oUr tImE

its strange that nobody did anything

I mean yes yes I get the "muh WWI" angle

but still jesus christ

could've prevented WW2 ain't it

Wanna know whats funny

Oster stated that if Chamberlain would remain strong against Germany during Munich they would overthrow Hitler if he tried to invade

damn

Though the Monarchy would have probably been restored

But even after Oster begged him to not fold

He did anyways

Fucking Chamberlain

Imperial Germany > Nazi Germany

Yes

The wokest one though is Strasserist Black Front Germany, but that alternate timeline is not very likely, though it would be cool, given Otto's writings and views

National Socialism but more bashing Capitalism and less on Jews

<:lol:521377935672737792>

You know, in case of Strasserism, the socialism part is for real

unlike Hitlerism, where its just pr tactic

We wuz Aryanz

its funny yeah 😄

Honestly

We wuz Hyperboreans n shieet

I wonder what would have happened had Hitler gotten shot by that British soldier in WW1, and instead the Red Baron survives and eventually takes Hitler's place

🤔

He wouldn't be same ideologically ofc

🤔

you know

if Hitler had never existed,

this could've made DAP much less of a factor in German politics

Yeah

which, tbh, would've handed much ground to the KPD

I wonder if the DNVP would become more Fascist esque had Hitler not existed

They were already reactionary

well, I mean, Hitler did drive DAP into much more Fascistic direction compared to the Strasser brothers or the left-wing of DAP. I think the major difference between Italian Fascism and German Fascism is the race component

My nickname is superior

Mhm

Racism wasn't really in Fascist Italy until Mussolini cracked under Hitler's pressure

Well, there were no racial laws

yeah it wasn't part of the original platform

and I think that Mussolini *only* did it because of said pressure

I don't think it coincides with his character

Mhm

Mussolini originally disliked and didn't trust Hitler

the Roman Empire which Fascist Party tried to recreate was multiethnic to begin with, so the race component was nonsensical to the rejuvenation project of the Italian Fascist

mhm

Fascism would've been much better without Hitler

What can be said of it is that it would've survived, I think, much longer than it did historically

Eh

Hitler's meltdown with Soviets ensured that it would be destroyed not long after the war began

Probably

There were already fascist movements in pretty much every Western country by the mid 1930s

only a few got any real political power though

Jose antonio was murdered smh

There are a few lesser known fascist, or fascist-esque states, like Portugal and Brazil, under Salazar and Vargas

Fuck franco

It was a growing movement, yes, but I think that it never had that global appeal of communism though it wanted to partake in that appeal. For example in Finland, a fascist movement did exist but it was btfo'd pretty hard by the general public and government.

Yeah

Austrofascism was one of the more serious lesser tendencies I think

RIP Lapua movement

@Xinyue are you the guy on twitter that has the same pfp as what you have on here

Its funny, Finland is always lifted up on this right-wing pedestal but the whole country throughout its history was very consistently left-wing

Mhm

yes, I believe that you and I had an encounter @Stern didn't we?
