| Let me say something on the subject... (I've spent about an hour to read all this stuff and I think that I deserve it...)
I was reading about the British fortification on Gibraltar and there was a reference of a German plan of taking control of Gibraltar which was very important to take control over Mediterannean sea. (I don't remember the operation's name but I will post some details in another post in another thread...)
The writer commented that the whole operation was called off because of the Italian invasion in Greece. This offensive was a pretty good reason for the brits to help Greece defend herself so England would be able to use Greek islands in the med. So it was in vain taking conrol of Gibraltar when the brits had allready Greek isles and Malta. Med cotrol was lost.
This helped a lot allied forces in North Africa.
What I want to say is that there are many events that could have been avoided and bring Germany one step closer to vicory.
I don't now whether Hitler was an idiot or had mental problems what I do know is that he had no chance wining the war when he got the command of the German army. Hitler might have been very good politician but he sucked as a military leader. Many of his decisions were just foolish.
I believe that there have been a chance that Germany would have won the war.
If I had to choose some battles these would have been BoB, Battle of Kursc and if BoB would have won the only thing needed would have been to repel any landings in Europe or England -which would be very difficult since there would an Atlantic to cross not just the channel. | |

| Very interesting opinion rebel.
The codename of the German operation for seizing Gibraltar was "Felix", and it apparently would have been commanded by Generalfeldmarschall Walter von Reichenau.
In my opinion, perhaps the battle that "decided" the outcome of WWII was the japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The entrance of the USA in the war meant a big country, with a big population, with a massive military industrial capability and with access to large natural resources was a combatant on the allied side.
I am convinced Germany could more than deal with all European enemies; with England i see a stalemate (British so damned lucky to have the channel).
