Well, it would be typical Nazi policy
But surely the Allies would have destroyed (through tactical nukes or conventional bombing) the main roads and railways between Germany and occupied territories, as well as the oil field (in Ploiesti), refineries and artificial oil plants
Germany won't be...
Because of this reason, ironically it would harm the Anglo-Americans more than help them
Main LL route being cut, plus Soviets having to fight on two fronts = Soviet Union being unable to carry the 42-44 offensives (or worse, losing) = Anglo Americans facing the full might of Germany during...
Play the Great Powers against each other to get his share of the pie
Probably independence of Egypt (France and Britain both won't want the other to have Egypt in their sphere), possibly Palestine / Jordan, Hejaz and Cyrenaica as a bonus.
If he's really lucky, Syria and Lebanon too (doubtful...
French and other satellite governments would promote it this way
Whether the population would accept it, though...
Even the brainwashed pro-Nazi collaborators accept German domination because they, personally, aren't treated like Slavic slaves...
Service du Travail Obligatoire might do a comeback
Of course, it would have its own consequences on the economy of satellite states (which would affect Germany too)... and on the loyalty and compliance of satellite states' populations
Well, IRL they might be forced to accept it, as without European support the Ottomans will win.
Plus even if a Republican Greece arose, it would be hated by both Europe and Ottomans, wouldn't survive long. And the Greek Republicans know it, so many of them will prefer having a Greece at all...
It kind of does mean that actually. Especially for vassals that are economically important AND directly border Germany proper (such as France). If Free France retakes, or is about to retake metropolitan France, there's an extremely high chance that nukes will fly.
Nazi Germany just cannot...
Indeed.
They might manage to force convince Poland to ally itself with Germany (and give away Dantzig in return for the future return of Lithuania) and help in an invasion of the USSR.
Of course, IOTL the Poles refused this proposal as they thought that once the Germans were invited in (as...
Hitler was known for calculated, high-risk high-reward, gambles.
So he might gamble on not provoking or attacking directly France, the rewards being having only one front (East) to deal with, as well as the benevolent neutrality or maybe even friendship of Britain (he saw the British as racial...
Also even a hardcore right-wing government that hates communism and has some sympathy for fascism, would never accept Germany occupying the Low Countries or France, or even significantly expanding the KM. Because British right and far-right are still nationalist, meaning they prioritize their...
Is South Africa already a member of the Pakt ?
Italians probably won't nuke Addis Abeba, as by this point, it would have a large population of Italian colonists (and Eritrean and Somali loyalists), not to mention being a major military, logistical and administrative hub. On the other hand, a...
