On the 10th May 1940 Britain took Iceland in Operation Fork. What if instead of Britain Germany sends a team out to take Iceland. What would the implication be? Germany would now have a naval base in the far north of Atlantic. Would this mean they are able to land a success invasion of Northern Scotland? Or would they still have difficulty? Might the blockade of Britain be most more fearsome and so Britain might decide to sign a peace treaty before America joins the war? Or would the war end similarly? What would modern Iceland be like? Would a occupation of a aggressor might mean they want to back as a colony of Denmark instead of seeking independence? What you think?
