] First kudos to all. The last board that I seen this thread on (where I got the idea) it had become very uncivilized very quickly but you's have managed to keep from attacking one another.

Sir, britain could have held out,

Much as i would like to share that optimism (doom for Britain = doom for Ireland) I must inform you that Germany nearly had the RAF beaten in the battle of britain. They would have finished them but for one reason. The Luftwaffe was ordered to bomb cities instead thus allowing the RAF to regroup.[quote]

That's an extremely difficult question to ask. Germany obviously could not have achieved all of her goals. The USSR was too hard of a nut to crack. BTW, I will bet on those 44 Siberian divisions against the Wehrmacht's Atlantic Wall 50 any day. I'll give the Red Army 30 days to kill all 50.[/QUOTE

No no the atlantic wall divisions were not the 50 deployed to defend normandy. Some of them were (no more than about 10 if memory serves me).
The divisions inland were among some of the most dangerous well trained well disciplined and battle hardened in the Whermacht. There were a number of the fanatically loyal (renowned for their unbelievable skill on the battlefield) Waffen S.S. divisions in the Normandy area. Formations such as 12th S.S. hitler Jugend and Panzer Lehr divisions. Will post more later ok
