I have often wondered, how things would have proceeded if the RAF had lost the air battle over southern England, I have heard it came pretty close at times.
Would Germany continue with an invasion plan? It was ill equipped to cross the channel and the Royal Navy would have been there too, working little differently to the Japanese did towards their last desperate days. Would the Americans have still committed themselves to the war in Europe? The US must have considered these possibility, designing B29 as a Europe bomber for this situation. But with Europe to themselves, the Germans would have had Nuclear weapons before America and would have begun installing them across Americas east coast not soon after.
To me it seems that luck and our greatest allay the German and Japanese dictators, that saved everyone from doom. Their incompetence, egos and lack of understanding of their enemies was the man reason we were saved.
