Lets ignore the likelyhood of it happening, but what if the Nazi's respected Dutch neutrality, just like the Germans did in WWI (they respected Swedish and Swiss neutrality, so it is not completely impossible). What would be the consequences?
Short term? Would the German attack on France be as succesful as it was OTL if they cant use the Netherlands for maneuvering or without the Dutch raided supplies?
Midterm? how much would the ability to trade with the rest of the (neutral) word through the Netherlands be beneficial for Germany? What would happen in the East? Would Japan still atach the Dutch East Indies? And what would that mean for the war in Europe? Would the Netherlands actualy join the oil bloccade against Japan while being neutral?
Longterm? Would the Netherlands remain neutral after the war and not join NATO or the (proto) EU? and join at the same time as Sweden and Austria did?
