So, if Hitler had won..

There's one on the dark side of the moon, I thought everyone knew that?

There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it's all dark.

I don't see a scenario where Hitler wins to be honest, it sounds like it was inevitable. Not enough allies to Germany for them to be successful.

The really ironic thing is that the Nazis would have preserved the things our WWII soldiers supported.

Anti-Gays, pro-sexism, anti-immigrants etc etc.

Not saying those things are good, but they are the kind of thing your grandad (and most soldiers in WWII) would have likely supported. In fact if they knew that the country they were fighting for would become what it has become, then they would likely have said "sod it, I'm not laying down my life for that!".

If hitler had won, Germany probably wouldn't have had all the manufacturing benefits we gave it after the war.... And so probably wouldn't be the beacon of manufacturing that we see it as today.

They would however have a near-slave class of labour which they could apply to manufacturing.

BUT WHAT HAVE THE GERMANS EVER DONE FOR US!??!11!

Well, if it wasn't for WW2 I wouldn't have had broadband at my parents house (some parts of the island are still on the old German copper lines from the early 40's).

In fact if they knew that the country they were fighting for would become what it has become, then they would likely have said "sod it, I'm not laying down my life for that!".

Sadly this is true

When you put it like that, I guess Hitler did win :/

I can't help be curious as to what a few generations of eugenics would do to the human race.

Have you ever watched "The Apprentice"? Lord Sugar does a good job of rounding them up for us

Battlefield 1942 would have been a slightly different computer game

Derailing the thread a bit here... but talk about stupid?

Not sure I'd agree with you there.

If Goerring wasnt such a massive tool, or had been replaced by someone competent, there was a very real possibility of the RAF being virtually wiped out in 1940, or at least its command and control in the south of England severely limited.

Para drop on Dover, capture it in a pre-dawn strike with naval support. Capture and hold the harbour. Facing panzer divisions with the equipment-less battered remnants of the BEF, and a few scattered home guard units.... I doubt would have been possible.

With London taken, would England really have been able to keep fighting? Or the rest of the Empire? I doubt it myself.

Probably be exploring space in a big manner man already be on mars by 1980 probably on multiple planets by now.

Well, I'd like to think they'd struggle to oppress so many people, but if you look at China they manage it just fine.

However I think China has an easier job because there's not such a recent history of nations as there would be in Nazi Europe.

I think Nazi Europe would have had a much starker contrast.. life would be good and the human condition would advance for much of the population, however for the lower class (a great deal of which would be defined by ethnicity) it would be very much like the dystopian future we often see in Science Fiction. The Nazis were very much into eugenics, and as much as I think it's murky and evil, I can't help be curious as to what a few generations of eugenics would do to the human race.

The temptation when you look at all of this is to look at the human race as a species and ignore the plight of individuals. If you were to look at it that way then the human race in 1,000 may have seen the Nazi Empire as a time of human enlightenment and progress... having said that large empires didn't always mean large progress, it seems about half of them resulted in relative stagnation, particularly European ones, and the other half were progressive.

Well parts of London wouldn't look as they look today.

Even if Hitler had commited mass genocide post WW2 you could argue that more people have died in our reality due to neglect and poverty over the past half a century.

Plus what he did for Germany's economy was really quite amazing, which is more than can be said for those running our economy.

Even if Hitler had commited mass genocide post WW2 you could argue that more people have died in our reality due to neglect and poverty over the past half a century.

So with Nazi Germany in charge you would have a similar (if not greater) level of neglect and poverty as well as mass genocide. Hitler wasn't exactly renowned for his philantropic ways and fair trade nature...

Plus what he did for Germany's economy was really quite amazing, which is more than can be said for those running our economy.

Indeed, it is amazing what you can do when you completely ignore people's rights...

wasnt there a movie about this happening ??
