Would a non-antisemitic Germany have won WWII?

What if antisemitism had not been a part of Nazism? No resources spent in genocide, no exodus of Jewish intelligentsia, perhaps less support for war in Europe in America? Would any of this been enough to tilt the scales?

EDIT: You can substitute Nazism with generic Fascism if that makes it easier to deal with.

I'm with @Kevin Renner on this topic.

Even if Germany decided to get rid of its anti-semitic rhetoric, they are still on the backfoot when compared to the rest of the Allies. Not enough fuel production for their vehicles, not enough equipment for their divisions, reliance on cannibalizing industries just so their economy could survive, etc.

At best, they have more manpower to work with, but it doesn't help deal with their lack of resources and their focus on the operational and tactical levels of warfare.
 
It might at most have lengthened it by two or three months. Perhaps Nazism in this timeline gets thought of as not quite so evil-unless it still treats the Eastern Europeans like in OTL.
 
What would the USSR be like if Marxist-Leninism had featured a strong emphasis on private property, traditional religion and individual rights?

This requires Hitler to not be Hitler.
Putting that aside, without the vitriolic hated that the regime espoused, WW2 as we know it doesn’t happen.
 
I think it's totally plausible for a German fascism to have emerged without such virulent antisemitism, seeing as that happened in Italy and Spain.

Its not that Germany couldn't have gone in a non antisemitic tone of Fascism (although I think Germany was antisemitic before the First World War so its hard to butterfly that) its just that asking if the Nazis got rid of one of their main tenets, would make them not Nazis.

Taking away anti-demotion changes the very core of Nazism, and hence fascism. Without it these Notzis are a thoroughly changed group.

But overall, no. They are starting from too far behind, against too many enemies.

Well I'm mainly interested in Germany here, not Nazis per se, so we can call it just German Fascism if that makes a difference.
 
What would the impact on Manhattan project been?

It would not matter as Germany still went down before the atomic bomb was deployed. It would, however, slow down the bomb, which could be very important. Germany will go down long before the project is ready to go in the OTL and then some were saying once it was clear that Germany was going down and that Germany did not have a bomb that the project should stop because of cost and lack of need. How many more would there be, if progress on the project was significantly delayed?

Hitler could still be a vitriolic antisemite and not go into mass killing. As long as he treats Jews basically as he treats the locals, he will meet the conditions of this POD.


I agree !

So do I, Historians debate when Hitler became such a vitriolic antisemitism and when he decided on the final solution.
 
There was a massive amount of potential manpower and resources wasted in executing the Holocaust. If this manpower reserve was never killed but related fairly, joining the military in similar er numbers to the general German population along with not wasting resources on the Holocaust but instead putting the money and materials into the war effort how long could they extend the war?
 
There may not be a WWII as we know it. A generic Fascist Germany might have less reckless leadership. You could still have Anschluss and annexation of the Sudetenland by plebiscite. Avoid the occupation to Czechoslovakia Rearmament would be slowed somewhat. Assume in 1940 Danzig votes to rejoin Germany. Poland objects and declares war. France will probably join Poland but the UK will desire to broker a negotiated peace.

It would be longer for the United States, but to say the Germans would be the first to produce the nuclear bomb and use it just is impossible.

After some digging for a thread on SpaceBattles War Room, someone posted the situation Germany was in and they were in no position to try and produce something they had no means to create. If you want the source, here's the link to the PDF to the German reaction of the nuclear bombs being dropped.
HEISENBERG: I don't believe a word of the whole thing. They must have spent the whole of their ₤500,000,000 in separating isotopes; and then it's possible.

WEIZSÄCKER: If it's easy and the Allies know it’s easy, then they know that we will soon find out how to do it if we go on working.

HAHN: I didn't think it would be possible for another twenty years.

WEIZSÄCKER: I don't think it has anything to do with uranium.
HEISENBERG: The point is that the whole structure of the relationship between the scientist and the state in Germany was such that although we were not 100% anxious to do it, on the other hand we were so little trusted by the state that even if we had wanted to do it, it would not have been easy to get it through.

DIEBNER: Because the official people were only interested in immediate results. They didn't want to work on a long-term policy as America did.

WEIZSÄCKER: Even if we had got everything that we wanted, it is by no means certain whether we would have got as far as the Americans and the English have now. It is not a question that we were very nearly as far as they were but it is a fact that we were all convinced that the thing could not be completed during this war.

HEISENBERG: Well that's not quite right. I would say that I was absolutely convinced of the possibility of our making a uranium engine but I never thought that we would make a bomb and at the bottom of my heart I was really glad that it was to be an engine and not a bomb. I must admit that.
The United States had the resources and economic capacity, but the Germans didn't.
