AH Challenge: A German invasion of the Southwest from Mexico

Aside from anything else, the only port the Germans could use to land troops in Mexico is Vera Cruz. Now, apart from ASBs, how do they do that?
There was a German freighter that left Mexico in 1941, before we got involved in World War II, and it was tracked, followed, and sunk, by an American submarine. The port the German freighter left from was Tampico.
The Germans could probably land troops at Tampico. Given the attitude of
some Mexicans, not all Mexicans, but some Mexicans, there'd probably be those who'd welcome a chance to take the gringos down a peg.
 
There was a murder of an Arizona rancher recently, and the authorities believe that it was an illegal immigrant who did it.

again, one death is not the same as an army marching towards conquest.

It's only a matter of time
before Iranian agents, aided by Mexican drug cartels, come across the border armed with guns.

......I'm sorry, what?
that sounds like a Conspiracy theory, and you know Ian hates those.
 
:D If I was a nasty one I'd reply: :D
I will disagree with caspian88, if I receive the following information:

1. Where the spare German armies are going to come from.
Klatoo Verataa Nicto!

2. How the German armies will be transported across the Atlantic.
Trans-oceanic landing submarines
(bonus point if they have some wheels, also to act as panzers)

3. How the Americans will miss all of this, and the amassing of troops on the border.
Nazi invasion during the Superbowl

4. How anybody in the Mexican government who proposes this idea to his colleagues won't be locked up in a mental institution.

:D But since I am not a nasty one, I never posted this post :D
 
Worried now as to what could possibly be described as a good war apart from the regular Trans-Tasman Rugby battles.

Finland vs. Western Allied Powers (obviously we cannot count the USSR) in WWII.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, the number of dead or wounded in that particular conflict was nil.

I'd have to count that as a very good result and therefore the best kind of war. The war where no one went as they had other things to do.

Now the Winter War was a different kettle of fish altogether...

Where's your sense of adventure? glory? beer? big guns? other manly things?

Seriously, do you make it your business to say the most ludicrous things possible, as succinctly as you can? Because if so, you are succeeding.

The Germans have more of a chance invading the United States from New Brunswick after a successful Seelowe and a follow-up occupation of Canada than they have of pulling off this little scheme.

Smuggling Iranian AGENTS are possible but them seriously doing anything to threaten the security of the US is another matter. After all sneaking people across the border happens all the time. Now if he was talking about sneaking an army across that would be impossible.
 
Plus, the United States, though it was isolationist, might launch a pre-emptive invasion of Mexico if there was a German military buildup going on. After all, the Germans marching around Africa and Europe is the European's problem, but the New World is America's sphere of influence. Besides, it would be obvious who they are planning to attack, and it won't be Costa Rica.
 
He he I remember a while back when I was a modder of this fame called Blitzkrieg and me and another moddern tried to make a series of maps about a US invasion by Germany.... I know we had a second Afrika Korps attacking into new Mexico from Mexico...the universe also involved the unmentionable sea mammal...agh my young a naive days...:D
