Hirihito began contemplating surrender after the firebombing of Tokyo? The atomic bombings and USSR are not relevant. That was Hirihito. Churchill will cave a lot sooner because he is not a dictator. Millions of British dead. Not like those thsr died in the firebombing of Tokyo. The Nazis have the British dead to rights
- Hitler dies in 1940
- Goering takes over
- Goering doesnt go to war with the US or USSR
- Tube alloys continues. The British get a nuke through gaseous diffusion.
- They use it. Tabun use follows.
- The British wont be able to make another bomb for a year minimum. It becomes apparent that tabun is the more effective WMD. Their first nuke kills in the tens of thousands. By the time their second nuke is ready. The Nazis have unloaded enogh tabun to kill millions.
- The British are forced to surrender.
Tabun was not being produced until 1942 - with 12,500 tons produced by wars end
Tube alloys would not produce a bomb until likely very late 40s and more likely early 50s unless it is part of the Manhattan project - so thats not going to happen
Given that Tabun was not ready till 1942 good luck deploying it in sufficient numbers to kill millions (not that there is enough Tabun) - by this time German raids into Britain apart from tip and run raids by small numbers of fighters over southern coastal targets would be suicidal
Goering might not go to war with USA but USA was effectively already at war in Oct 1941 - it was just a matter of time.
Lastly in the Chemical weapon 'arms race' in WW1 - the Germans were usually the first to deploy a given Chemical weapon - and at virtually every stage the British 'bettered the lesson' - no reason to not think that they would be nerve gassing Germany right back with their larger air force and with more of it.
