Germany would always have lost due to sheer weight of numbers of the people against them. There was talk on this thread about the German fighter the Me 262, well the Gloucester Meteor was in action during 1944 and gets very Little credit for it's work. several Squadrons of the the Meteor were station in Belgium in late 1944 at the Americans request to escort their bombers and protect them from the 262. Now the 262 I think was a better design than the Meteor but the Meteor had far better engines and in 1945 was clocking up 600 mph plus. As far as I can tell these jet planes never met in combat so any comparison is just a persons personal view and their knowledge about the planes, and every one seems to know far more about the 262 than the Meteor.
Doppleganger also brought up about chemical warfare, well Britain had perfected the Anthrax bombs back in 1940, these had been tested on a small island just of the Scottish coast they were so successful that this island remained closed to people till the 1990's when the whole surface of the island was cleared put into containers and taken away, even so visiting this place is still restricted. After testing these weapons it was made clear to Hitler that if he went down this path and bombed Britain with any thing than conventional weapons then these bombs would cover Germany and make it impossible for any one to live there for many years in the future.
