Can a less crazy Adolf Hitler win WW2?

You can imagine a war where Germany is two steps ahead but struggle to base it on the economic, political and military realities.

That is why the German war effort is so studied on the military side as they played a weak hand very well for a surprisingly long time. However in any non-ASB scenario Germany's hand remains weak which is why you can have them make different choices but find each of those choices bears a cost.

Yes, there is a paradox here. If one correct a German inefficiency in a TL, there is an immediate request to have them start performing average in others. Maybe there was a combination of well played hands and a misaligned opponent early on that would also be misaligned facing different German choices.
Imagine a less aggressive early rearmament followed by massive investments in nerve gas industry.

I am staying out of this thread mostly, as I have already stated elesewhere my feelings about the chances of a successful Nazi Germany fighting a similar to OTL WWII, and winning it.

By the way, I like what you did in your thread when you listed specific posts for folks to read revised TL entries. Any chance you could be induced to edit the original post of your TL and inclued a complete set of links there for all the update posts?

Yep, you noticed that too, huh? Take a gander at my HMS Dreadnought thread, and then look at my signature.:D

Tells you all you need to know, I think.
