Quote:If the Germans had been able to claim victory over Europe before the United Statesians stepped in, they would have most certianly won the entire war.
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
By December, 1941 Hitler had already failed in the Battle of Britain and suffered a serious defeat in Russia which spelled his doom. The inability to knock Russia out in a blitzkrieg meant a war of attrition that Germany could not win.
Nonetheless, he then proceeded to compound his mistakes and failures by declaring war on the US a few days after Pearl Harbor thus greatly simplifying things for Roosevelt. On December 8, 1941 Roosevelt had a nation which was royally pissed at Japan and didn't give two shits about Germany. Hitler's Treaty with Japan did not obligate him to support Japan in a war of aggression as the Japs made clear when they did not declare war on Russia in June, 1941 when Hitler invaded the USSR.
Hitler declared war because he wanted to get everything out in the open. It was his second biggest mistake of the war.
Now, that said, can anyone explain what the point was of the OP?
