1940 seems to be a really critical year around here.
It is the year the German economy implodes.
The RN gets a big chunk of its modernization finished.
The French get time to upgrade their air force.
All the Wallies get new kit.
You get the idea.
Normally the question asked here is what happens if the war is delayed without asking the cost. Well here I am asking the cost.
Hitler has to be appeased for one more year. What is the cost of letting Danzig go. (I will throw a bone and say no Polish guarantee until after Danzig.) What is Hitler going to go for next? Will it all be worth it in late 1940 when France and the UK are finally ready to fight?
