What is the longest plausible time the European AND Asian Axis could survive in WWII, but still lose the war with two PODs(one if possible)? One for the European/African theater and one for the Pacific Asian theater. I have always thought that if the axis won at Stalingrad and Midway they would have lasted longer, but probably still lost. Is there any other PODs other than these that could have made them last even longer? PODs must be during war, so in Europe the POD must be during or after the invasion of Poland and in Asia it must be after the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
