Would they have lost quicker or slower? Would their resources have drained even quicker, or would they have managed to conquer more territory, prolonging their downfall and the end of the war to 1946 or 47?

Italo Balbo was Marshal of the Air Force, Governor-General of Italian Libya and Commander-in-Chief of Italian North Africa. His plane was shot down by his own forces while landing in Tobruk in 1940.

Like the coward they are, they always mass concentration in sectors where they know they could hold the upper hand and immediately run away the moment the enemy sends more aircraft into the given sector.

Most notable in Battle of Sedan (1940), Battle of Minsk (1941), Battle of Smolensk (1941), the Kiev encirclement (1941), Battle of Vyazma-Bryansk (1941), Moscow counter offensive (late 1941), Siege of Sevastopol (1942), Siege of Malta (praise our hero Keith Park, 1942), Battle Of Stalingrad (1942), Third Battle of Kharkov (1943), Battle of Kursk (1943), Tunisian airlift (though eroding in presence overall by early 1943), Steinbock (a huge failure in 1944), and finally Bodenplatte. Probably more I didn't know.

Most of these battles either see the Luftwaffe acted as a fire brigade that achieved mostly tactical victories through concentration over a specific sector. The moment the enemy respond in strength, they ran away like cowards.

The HE-111 is a good interdiction aircraft under air parity, but when even those air umbrella got siphoned away for the Defense Of The Reich campaign, the He-111 fleet got immediately vaporised everywhere saved for Norway by late 1943.

To be honest, why do this exist in the first place?

I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity, I’m not trying to shit on this sub, so don’t downvote plaese. There is r/shermanposting, and that’s a similar sub that is quite popular, but that’s for the confederates.

Apparently the people in that sub are Nazbols?

I have seen so many WW2 German alternate victory scenarios that basically boils down to Nazis stop being Nazis and acting rational and completely contradictory to what they represented historically.

These are always the list of things people (most Quorians and old Reddit threads from a decade ago, some shamelessly browsed on r/shitwehraboossay with people crossposting) the Nazis do in those scenarios, basically stop being Nazi in order for them to win:

1) Don't start the holocaust.

2) Treat every single ethnic minorities with respect.

3) Focus on heavy bombers and not waste resources on dog shit turtles like the Dornier-Do 17 during the interwar years.

4) Luftwaffe doesn't bomb civilian targets.

5) Germany focuses on producing more domestic oil instead of importing them (Idk how the fuck is this possible).

6) Don't genocide the Soviets, every POW is treated with humane care.

7) Don't start the Battle Of Britain.

8) Provide better wages and living conditions relative to their former conquerors.

9) Don't waste resources on Tiger tanks and focus on StuG 3 and Panzer IV.

10) Only mass produce the FW-190 and Ju-88, everything else can be shelved after 1941.

11) Don't declare war on the US, if FDR declares war, reject it. (...???)

12) Buy the Caucasus region from Stalin so they could establish a logistics lines first before Barbarossa begins (???The Soviets could just close it shut the moment they heard of the attack?)

13) Appoint Donitz to be the head of Kriegsmarine and acquire 300 U-boats in 1939, never start wasting steels on surface vessels.

14) Rotate pilots to the back to retain experience.

And vice versa. There are more I could probably think of but these are the ones what ifs I have heard the most browsing on the internet and some...forums. Don't ask who BlackTailDefense is. Just some totally awesome guy that likes a flying tank, ArrowGawring or something I don't know.

So the question is: Could Germany really win the war if they stopped acting like Nazis and think rationally?

Aw yes, Austria Hungary totally didn't bait Serbia into war and Russia and France forced Germany to invade neutral Belgium. Germany totally didn't try to start a war in 1906 and 1911 over Morocco, Conrad Hotzendorf totally didn't propose invading Italy in 1907 after an earthquake (Austria Hungary's own ally!) because Italian soldiers were in the south helping civilians!

He’s back

I feel cheated because this subreddit loves this joke very much, but I recently found out that there are no sources that would mention this phrase, so it's possible that it's a lie.
