AHC: All German Forces to the Western Front

[Theoretical_TJ]

It's a fairly common notion of Valkyrie timelines and OTL to an extent where the German forces primarily defend against the Red Army in the East.

Is there any post-Barbarossa situation where Germany would instead dread the West at all costs and focus all attention on the West?

Bonus points if you keep the Red Army's brutality.

not a chance.. the Nazis marched to exterminate the slav .. they didn't march to exterminate the French or dutch or danes or british or americans..

fear was simple.. the do unto others thing was coming to the fatherland to roost.

only chance post Barbarossa is that that the germans get bogged down at the Dnieper and cant do anything and the Normandy takes place in late 43 .. either way.. by 45 the germans were 20 gazillion times more fearful of the soviets and the Slavic tidal wave coming for revenge.

IM actually wholesale surprised that the germans in the west didn't unilaterally just say .. its over and let the western powers go as far as they could with little to no obstruction

unless the west starts doing very very very nasty things, I see no hope of the fear being had to throw everything at them. and in this case if the west were to be nasty, it wouldn't matter they would throw gas and nukes

It is possible that the Germans could move most of their forces to the West if they capture Moscow and force the Soviet Union to surrender. With the Soviets no longer fighting them on the Eastern Front, the Germans can focus on defeating Britain. They may be able to capture London. They would also be able to better defend against a joint Anglo-American attempt to liberate France.

if the germans can force the soviets out of the war.. this is a war of ethnic survival..Moscow is a great objective, but its certain doom and gloom as I am certain there wouldn't be much of Moscow left if the germans manage to take it. Nothing better than winter in Moscow in ruins.

as the ops stated .. barbarous goes off as planned. they are not getting Moscow, let alone keeping it with out protecting the flanks.

the germans actually respected the west.. well let me rephrase that.. the respect people they thought they could do business with. in the east they were willing to overlook things in places as well.


the thing is, there is no way, short of reverse genocide that the germans are going to fear the west more than the soviets

By the time Sealion has a viable chance of success, Britain will have nukes. Hitler might actually give the go ahead for a Sealion post-Soviet defeat, in which case it would be a larger operation than the more-discussed 1940 Sealion, but still one in which the chance of success is 0%, especially if the Americans are involved.

Basically the end result is an Anglo-American German Cold War.

Britain -by themselves- having nukes in WW-II is ASB.
