@Imperious:
URRS would have conquered all east Europe, maybe even Norway, Hungary, the Balkans…
First they would need to figure out how to fight in Finland with overwhelming odds…and avoid a DOW from the allies for invading Norway, Hungary, Balkans, etc.
I imagine they could avoid a DOW from the Allies for invading Hungary, Balkans etc. by using the dame method they used in real life.
by using the dame method …
Axis Sally?
Would had shot Göring at latest 1937, and doubled the R&D for jet fighters. Sent Speer to USA to learn stuff about mass production. Would had NOT DOW USA.
And the obvious: Instead of writing Mein Kampf I would had studied history and warfare while in prison, and never started campaign against jews.
Maybe shot Himmler 1939.

:-D
He should have studied Painting and Drawing, so he could have done that with his time.
As long as he did not expect to live off the proceeds. I hear they were worse than arse.
I believe that is the correct critique.
He better should have stood on his side of the river in austria…

I think he would disagree. :roll:
I can just see him throwing flowers on a passing tank and cheering madly as the Germans enter his country in 38, moustache crinkling with joy.
Sun Tzu is famous for stating that the battle is often won or lost before your troops even engage the enemy.
Alliances were key before the start of war.
I would have
1 Find a way to ally with the USSR for at least a decade ( hard to do since Ger, Ity and Jpn were joined by treaty in the Axis as an anti-communist effort)
1A Invite the USSR to attack the British through Persia.
1B Concentrate resources to wrestle Arabian oil away from the British and their allies .
2 Leaving the Mediterranean sphere to Italy was a disaster
and I would have ended earlier.
3 Italian troops should have gotten upgraded training before they were lost in the early going.
4 I would have started joint military war games/exercises in Austria and Czechoslovakia with the German, Italian, and other axis troops to get them all up to par.
This would get them all used to German close air support and combined arms tactics that worked so well in the french blitzkreig.
5. Invited the Japanese admiralty (especially Yamamoto) to inspect the European fleets soon after signing the Axis Tri party agreements
6. Yamamoto was opposed to the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Tripartite Pact.
I would Court Yamamoto and win him over in a way similar to how Hitler got support from the Asters in the UK.
7. Sponsor alliance ready, facist-type, organizations in Egypt, Cyprus, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, etc… who would at least be neutral to the UK. Whoever the Axis can use to gain leverage over the UK.
8. What worked so well in Norway should have been done in Egypt near the Suez Canal and/or Cyprus. Before the Norway invasion.
