Well if you assume that all of the German high command is functional but otherwise complete idiots which is about the only reason they would go out of thier way to create another country that hates Germany when you already have England,France and Russia filling that vital roll. then it seams reasonable to believe that the entire world is so blind that they don’t notice the largest amphibious assault in history being put together and the sailing.
Add in that the US high command is apparently drinking lead paint and doesn’t believe that Germany would EVER be stupid enough to attack the US for ABSOLUTELY NO USEFUL REASON. And maybe Germany can sneak up on the East Coast.
Of course based on the abject stupidity of the German government in this world attacking the one power that was relatively neutral to Germany the perhaps it is reasonable to assume that the US government and military are just as dumb and therefore can not actually read and thus the telegrams warning about the invasion fleet are of no use.. ?
Now that I think about it the most logical thing in this whole concept is that the Germans actually pull off a sneak attack on the US, the logic behind that is that the US government and the Military command being reasonablely average in intelligence don’t believe that Germany is so galaticly stupid that they would attack the US for absolutely no good reason and thus even if they get telegrams they ignore them thinking they are being pranked. Heck you could probably get a full 24 of inactivity by the US military as it sits thier in complete disbelief that the Germans actually are attacking as the whole concept makes less then 0 sense.
I will repeat this indefinitely. In the early 1900s the US was just about the only Peer level country to Germany that DIDNT have a problem with them. Pretty much every single other “power” in the entire World (with the exception of AH Germany’s only ally) was either allied against them, actively opposed to them, had recently fought a war against them or just basically wanted something from them or wanted them to go away. The US on the other hand realy didn’t care less about Germany. (Yes this is over simplification).
So what does this thread suggest. That Germany attack the US. I will give it credit in that the US may very well be the only country that Germany could attack and have the attack be a surprise. But unless the point of this topic is an attempt to have the entire world (well the industrialized military capable powers anyway) ALL against Germany I just don’t see the point...
