In the agreements between Germany and Italy for the "steel pact" of alliance,Germany agrees with Italy to not start a war before 1942-43.
What if Hitler,that was a irrational man, had make the mistake to respect this pact with Mussolini,and wait for four years?
Meantime,France and UK would be deep rearmed,and the nazi economy
would be weaker.
A this point is possible that the propitius moment for strike was by then past for Germany,and that a war less probable?
And if Hitler decides anyway to attack the western powers,can UK and France defeat him quikly?
