Basically, assume that British morale is broken after disaster hits their armies in the opening years of WW2. The BEF’s evacuation from Dunkirk is more of a failure, the Italian invasion of Egypt somehow does not have its momentum broken by Operation Compass, and the Luftwffe manages to incur heavier damage on British infrastructure. Churchill is no-confidenced, and parliament makes a formal, conditional peace with Hitler before mid-1941.
The main question is, how does this affect Hitler’s plans for invading the USSR later on? I’m under the impression that Stalin would be more willing to listen to his advisors on an imminent German invasion if Britain is out of the ring, but i’d like to hear your arguments on this.
