    I think that they were winning before they invaded the Soviet-Union.

    In an alternate timeline where they kept the alliance with the USSR, I think they would have won.

    The USSR had resources while Germany had engineers and technology.

    And without an eastern Front, they could have held off the allies on the western front.

    But they got cocky, paranoid and greedy.

    And I am glad they lost.

      “The alliance” 🙄 in that alternative reality they’d have been merked by the USSR once the red army had been restructured.
      Also “if they didn’t invade the USSR” is such a stupid take. Sure, but the whole reason the Nazis came to power was to fight their idea of “judeo bolshevism” and invading the east for “lebensraum”. Hitler was deadset on destroying the soviet union. If you’re gonna throw that out as a hypothetical, you’re basically saying “if the Nazis weren’t Nazis they would have won.”
      Completely ahistorical dipshit take.
