I know this is dangerously close to a 'Make the Axis win' thread, but i believe that the Axis COULD have won had things been drastically different. Even if these PODs wouldn't end in an Axis victory, they'd result in a much longer and bloodier war.
I know that many of these ideas are lifted from other threads, but if i used your idea it means i like it
Here goes:
The payment mode for armament firms is made more rational, resulting in much greater efficiency in the use of resources.
No Yugoslav coup, so basically an Axis Yugoslavia.
Japanese bombers manage to take out the oil tanks and submarine base at Pearl Harbour.
The Germans run right up to the channel in time to stop Operation Dynamo, thereby killing or capturing over 300,000 Allied troops
In October 1941, the British and Soviets issued an ultimatum to the Afghans demanding that they expel all Germans and Italians. They did. But let's assume they didn't and suffered the same fate as Iran, thereby bogging down more Allied troops fighting against the 75,000 thousand Afghan troops. Granted this would have been reasonably easy, but again, another drain on the allies.
The Axis design tanks with sloping armour
Iceland had no military to speak of, but let's say it does what little it can to resist British occupation, leading to a civilian resistance.
Seeing as Akureyri, Iceland's second largest city fall a week after Reykjavik, perhaps citizens there, hearing of the invasion could mount a resistance with what little weapons they have.
Prestige building projects and some early armament projects of dubious value are cancelled and the money saved is put into stockpiles of strategic materials.
Heinkel 174 bomber is built with four separate engines.
Spain joins the Axis in exchange for Gibraltar and Morocco. Not a new conecpt i know, but something to throw into the mix.
This allows Gibraltar to be seiged and maybe even taken, severing a major Allied supply route.
Better German tactics in the Battle of the River Plate save the Graf Spee, perhaps sinking the Exeter in the process in they're lucky.
If it's not too much to ask, perhaps Graf Spee retreats into Montevideo and the British shell the port, bringing Uruguay into the Axis and sparking pro-Axis Paraguay and Argentina to join the war on the Axis side.
Most if not all Axis nations use assembly lines.
The UK do either Operation Wilfred or The R-4 Plan, putting Norway in the Axis camp.
Make the Azad Hind more active, add a couple of anti-British uprisings to the mix.
Thailand becomes an active Japanese ally, actually contributing fully to the war, perhaps even before Pearl Harbour.
Perhaps build one Monster, use it in battle then tell the world they have many, many more.
Italy doesn't attack Greece, although Metaxes, who greatly looked up to Mussolini and Hitler, joins the war on the Axis side.
The IRA actually comes up with the 50,000 die hard soldiers they promised instead of the 300 errand boys they produced
In the face of possible encirclements, retreats are conducted, when actually encircled, breakouts are attempted.
Finland was prepared for the Winter War, and Sweden decides to help out it's neighbour. Due to the Soviets' shear weight of numbers, Finland eventually signs the peace treaty, but only looses Karelia, and of course, the Soviets loose far more men.
Also, when Stalin declares war on Finland, starting the Continuation War, maybe he declares war on Sweden too, or Sweden simply backs up Finland once more. Granted Sweden is hardly a great power, but it's another country to fight.
The Germans have more secure codes, codes that are not broken by the allies.
Mussolini warns his merchant fleet about the coming war as opposed to having them totally unprepared, then launches a suprise attack against Malta and Tunisia with German support instead of launching a pointless attack into France.
The Ecuadorian-Peruvian war spills over into something bigger.
I've seen it discussed on here before but i can't for the life of me remember what the thread was called. Either was, it was discussed that Chile, Colombia, Venezula and Bolivia may have attacked Peru due to a mixture of old grudges and terrible judgement (Don't remember the exact reasons).
This war is a grinding stalemate for months, then when America joins WW2, Peru calls for help. The Axis see an oppertunity and declare their alligance to Ecuador and her allies, thereby draining America's resources, manpower and time as they intervene in the South American war to protect the Panama Canal.
Also, Ecuador, Venezula, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay (See a POD above for those last three) being in the Axis would discourage Brazil from entering the war.
Charles DeGaul is killed in the fall of France. This probably wouldn't stop there being a French resistance, but it will weaken it a lot.
Anti-colonial/pro-Axis uprisings in Syria and Yemen like the one in Iraq.
So there you go, what do you think would have happened?
Bearing in mind, it's ALL these PODs, not just one.
Have at it AH!
