You seem to want to play down Germany's strength in maintaining control over europe?

He can't.Not just developing more of everything but the technology if Hitler had paid more attention to quality instead of quantity. If Hitler had got to power in 1929 he would of had a whole 10 years to prepare for war.
. People on this forum can tell you what modifications to a Bf109 would require re-specifying the aircraft and which are simply not doable, all the shortcomings of the design of USS Alaska, and the particulars of USSR doctrine in 1945.
Our definition of alternate may be what you'd call tweaked.So it is not alternate? Just tweaked?
He can't.
He literally CAN NOT get into power in 1929, there were no elections. In the 1928 elections his party got less than 3% of the vote.
At this point I'm close to telling you to go away and read an actual history book, your posts are sounding increasingly like they're based off a half-remembered history class from years previously and a couple of programs on the History Channel.
Hitler using Slavic allies to fight Stalin is out of the question. He just wouldn't do it. His mentality was that of a psycho pokemon trainer. "Got to kill them all"
Nope. First, the Nazis couldn't cooperate with Ukraine. They had to sieze the food supplies of the people in order to keep their armies moving, and people who are starting to starve are notoriously unlikely to be happy with the invader. In addition, Nazi doctrine calls for the murder of most of the Ukrainian population, and keeping the remainder as slave labor. It was called Generalplan Ost, look it up if you feel like not sleeping for a few weeks.
I second that recommendation; and unlike reading Generalplan Ost, you can comfort yourself afterwards by whispering "it's not real.....it's only a story!"Sorry, but no. If you want to read an excellent World War II TL however I would recommend CalBear's Anglo/American-Nazi War, which follows the Anglo/American efforts to defeat the Reich following a Soviet collapse in 1943.
This is an alternate reality where Hitler was more strategic than ideological. He should of paid more attention to what the Americans were doing developing the atomic bomb and should of sent spies to sabotage the development of them.
This is an alternate reality where Hitler is more strategic. Strategy comes before ideology.
This comes up a lot, so it's time for AH 101:Again it is an alternate history, Hitler can have a different personality.
It depends on the war.Since you are so pessimistic about Germany being able to win the war then I ask you this.
In any situation ever possible could Germany ever win the war? People/personalities/events/weather could all change.
The Munich Putsch?I know he failed in 1923 but he launched a coup in which he took over government. But now you will tell me he would of been killed or something.
Step 1: Take over Beer HallThe Munich Putsch?
That was a couple of hundred people in a beer hall deciding to take over the government. Football hooligans are more threatening.
If Germany developed the atom bomb in 1942 then they could force America in peace. But that would be 'impossible' by some people on here although that is alternate history.It depends on the war.
If the war is the one they started in 1939 by invading Poland... then the only way they could would be to force France out of the war very quickly (as they did in our timeline) and then frighten Britain into peace.
That may be feasible!
If you include the war against the USSR, then no. Germany can't win that war, the USSR can lose it by collapsing but even then Germany just has the mother of all Vietnams.
If you also include the war against the US then it would take almost literal divine intervention. Germany's too weak, the US is too strong, and there's too much space between them for Germany to take them out before they get to harness that power.

If his personality was different then the outcome would be different. Alternate history cannot change personalities now?The German Economy , as others have said could not support a military build up bigger than what they did in OTL. Germany could have just about beaten the soviet union, but that would involve the soviet union making a even bigger mess of the defence. However, Hitler setting up puppet Baltic states and possibly a puppet Ukraine isn't impossible, but Hitler was a psychopath who didn't make clear decisions and thought the war could still be won in 1945. He was also on a large selection of interesting narcotics by the end of the war. Even if hitler could defeat the soviet union, he would most likely have to offer major concessions to get out of the war, such as france, Benelux, and Greece.

No, the Weimar Republic was a democracy and was fairly stable in the middle years. It took the Nazis being the largest party in the Reichstag in the middle of an apocalyptic depression to get Hitler into power via a coup! And even then he had to have special laws passed to get him the ability to circumvent the Reichstag.I know it was a joke and that was actually impossible to think that would be successful but the Nazi party had larger numbers and could of taken part in a coup.
