Yes,lets assume that Hitler cancels the invasion of the Soviet union in 1941 and launches Sealion MkII and it succeeds:eek:. Britain's occupied,S.Ireland is allowed to maintain a pro-axis neutrality and some naval facilities are set up in N.Ireland for the kriegsmarine. I'm aware how ASB,all that is but what i'm really interested in is how Britains fall in 1941,would effect a 1942 Barbarossa campaign. Would the Germans be able to deliver a knock-out blow to the Soviet union with the additional materials/resources available following Britains defeat? Would the Soviet Union appeal to the U.S for more lend-lease aid and would they get it? Would the Germans achieve the element of 'surprise' as in the OTL 1941 invasion or would Stalin believe the warnings of his Intel services and place his frontier armies in better defensive positions?
