I'm choosing to ask about two different divergences. The first being that the Norwegians call a full mobilization and not a partial secret one done by mail. The second being the British intercepting the invasion force bound for at least Trondheim possibly Narvik too. I'm thinking they end up holding Trondheim and Narvik but the south still falls. British and French troops still pull out when the invasion of France happens but now the Norwegians are holding a line either north or south of Bergen. How long could they hold if they are just getting supplies and maybe some RAF air support?
I don't think this would have any impact on the invasion of France though maybe the rest of the French colonies do go in for the Free French possibly because the British don't feel it as necessary to attack the French ships. So with this maybe the Italians are completely out of Africa in early 41. The Germans still manage to take Greece so the Western Allies are totally off the continent and the Germans still go in for Barbarossa.
Now I would like to ask if the following would be a plausible path forward in the war.
-1940 Taranto raid more successful with inclusion of Glorious
-1941 Allies push for full control of Norway and by the end of the year are basing bombers to attack Germany from there maybe smaller operations in the Med no invasion of Crete
-1942 Possible allies attack larger islands like Sicily wait another year for attack on France
Would we see larger more successful sustained attacks on Polesti
Germans see slightly more success in the east maybe taking Stalingrad delay Soviet progress a bit
-1943 Invasion of France more at the pushing of France the British also push for an invasion in Italy or the Balkans I was also hoping to get Norway and Sweden involved here with a move to liberate Denmark from the Nazis
-1944 Western Allies reach Germany, if not already happened start of Italian and Balkan campaigns
-1945 early in the year fighting is mostly over in the west sporadic fighting in the east
Post war Germany is occupied by all 4 nations communist governments are largely kept out of eastern Europe mainly those bordering Russia or the ones they retook themselves Poland is kept free by Britain and France.
Largely unchanged is the Pacific theater maybe the British reinforce Malaya but those forces will still be needed for operations closer to home in Europe. Pearl Harbor still happens the US enters the war in 41. What would the changes mean to something like the Manhattan Project is it still going to largely run how it did OTL or does slightly more success have the British see out Tube Alloys?
Is any of it plausible or would the war still go more like OTL than I have here or am I not seeing enough Divergence in the Pacific?
The map is largely what I was picturing for the post war Europe.
