So what if Germany avoided all her mistakes she - or her leadership - made during and before the war?

- Production of PZ I halted in 1937, production of PZ II halted in 1938.
PZ III is equipped with a long 50 mm, Pz IV with a long 75 mm - mass production of thouse tanks begins in early 1939.

Instead of building some 15 tank/antitank/spg models at the same time - the production is limited to 5 modles. The same type reduction goes for the Luftwaffe.

From 1942 onwards the Focke Wulf 190 is produced as the top German fighter instead of the BF 109.

- More and faster research on Jet Fighters instead of rockets. Mass production of the Me 262 begins in mid 1943 as a jet fighter. No wasted time on making it a Blitzbomber.

- More and faster research of tanks. Mass production of the Tiger tank begins in early 1942, mass production of Panther tank begins mid 1942.

-More and faster research on U boats. The Schnorkel device is ready in early 1944.

- German economy switches to full war production from the start of the war. The prodcution reached in 1940 is the equivalent of OTL production in 1941, the production in 1941 is the equivalent of OTL production in 1942 ect.

- Less racism. All eastern Europeans are treated like the Czechs. Not exactly good but far better than what happened in Poland and the USSR in OTL.

- The British army is caputed at Dunkirk.

- Hitler does not declare war on the US. Roosevelt has a hard time explaining why all resources should go against Germany when it was Japan that attacked.
Even if Roosevelt declares war on Germany - it was still Japan that attacked and the US that declared the war.

There were many more things the Germans could have done better - would be thankfull for additional comments.
