Then the U.S. forces would have had to launch the Normandy Invasion from New York City. Indeed, a very difficult enterprise !
But no kidding !
Germany possibly had the ability to win the war, but Hitler made too many mistakes because he didn't listen to his generals.
First of all, the German Wehrmacht should have captured all the 400,000 British soldiers in the "Kettle of Dunkirk" (80% of the British forces and equipment !) instead of letting them escape across the Channel.
And then immediately invade the U.K. with all the German soldiers, airplanes and ships available.
After the British defeat Germany had all the time and manpower to deal with Russia. But the attack should have started no later then April in order to finish with Moscow before the Russian winter began.
Then, Germany would have signed a non-aggression pact with the U.S., leave Americans and Japanese alone on the battlefield and start to build up the "New Order" that Germany wanted to establish.
So, in that case the Cold War would have taken place between Germany and America whereas Russia and China would only be "minor players".
It is possible that after Hitler's death democratic reforms would have been implemented in Germany and its satellite neighbors France, Italy, Russia and Spain. Similar to the Glasnost and Perestroika reforms that were actually established under Gorbachev.
On the other hand, National Socialism was much more market-, consumer- and technology-oriented then Communism. And when you imagine that the Germans controlled most oriental oil fields and all the former British and French colonies, it is not unlikely that the majority of the Europeans would have arranged with the authoritarian system because the living standard in Nazi Europe would not be lower then in democratic Britain or America.
The people to suffer of course would be all the Jews, Africans, Arabs and handicapped who did not meet the Aryan racial standards.
No one can imagine how far the Holocaust and euthanasia programs would have gone.
No one can imagine how many tens of millions of "inferior" human beings would have died in gas chambers or in medical and pharmaceutical experiments,
So, when you consider this, we should all be glad that the German "End Sieg" did not happen.
In short the European theater would of been significantly more bloody and the war much longer. The war against Japan however would be much shorter and the attack of Pearl Harbor may not have occurred as it was based on a British attack upon the Italian fleet at Taranto.
AnswerIt would have been grim. Nazi Germany probably would have invaded and conquered Britain. It would have been very very difficult for the US to wage war against Germany without the staging point that was Britain. AnswerIf the Battle of Britain had been lost, the Navy would have had to take on the German invading force and deal with the Luftwaffe at the same time. Warships are (or at least in WW2 were) very vulnerable to attack from the air, so the situation would have been very bad.They would probably have lost the whole war. WinnIng the battle gave britain supplies, and without those supplies,
Fighting the war would
Have been very difficult. this battle is often thought of as being a major turning point of the war.
It would have been occupied by Nazi troops and the Jews would have been exterminated.
The German Armies would have invaded Britain by sea and air if they had won Battle of Britain
If Hitler had won the Battle of Britain, It would have been less likely for the US to get involved in the European war. Low chance but plausible for the Germans to have won the war.
when Hitler realized he could not overcome the Royal Air Force. To invade England Hitler would have to have air superiority..................................
Operation Sea Lion was the German plan to invade Britain in the late summer of 1940. Before the invasion could take place, the Luftwaffe had to neutralise the RAF so that they would have air superiority. The German aircraft losses were so high that Hitler decided to abandon his invasion plans and attack Russia instead. This air battle is known as the Battle of Britain.
Battle of Britain
The outcome of the Battle of Britain was important for the Allies because it was Germany's attempt to either bomb Britain into submission, or completely destroy its Air Force in order to conduct an amphibious assault on British shores. This would have removed the last resistance to Hitler in Europe, allowing him to focus all of his forces on Russia in the east.

Hitler paused and did not invade Britain while the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was evacuating from Dunkirk. With Britain in total disarray, Hitler believed that Britain was beaten and would sue for peace.
it would have basically ended ww2 insinde Europe and their only problem would have been America
when Hitler realized he could not overcome the Royal Air Force. To invade England Hitler would have to have air superiority..................................
Hitler attempted to defeat Britain by attempting to gain air superiority over Britain. Hitler conducted a bombing campaign that began by attacking shipping centers and coastal shipping convoys and eventually moved to attacking areas of political significance and terror bombing.
If Hitler took Poland then Britain and France would declare war on him, which they did.

If Britain fell Germany would not be in a two front war when they invaded the Soviet Union, and would most likely have won the war with them. Resulting in Germany controlling most of Europe.
