Kirill K said:IMO the German U-boats were very strong at that time and controlled most of the Atlantic Ocean, and would probably stop the US boats, and would gradually push froward towards the coasts of US.
yurry said:There was also a bomber at the end of the war wich actualy flew on a mission to New York or at least a few miles from it (without any payload). All I remember is that it was a Focke Wolf.
Anyone has any links on it :?:

It was the FockeWulf Condor, Germany's sole 4 engined plane that saw action during the war as a maritime patrol/recon aircraft. However the flight to NY you are reffering to took place before the start of WW2 (i think 1937/1938)as a Nazi propoganda stunt. It was stripped of all it's interior and extra internal fueltanks where installed so it could make the trip to NY non-stop.
Dutchy said:Ah ok didn't know about that flight Is it really a FockeWulf and not a Horten build aircraft. To my best recollection Horten was the only German aeroplane manufacturer that extensively developed, built and tested the flying wing concept?!

I don't think that is what he was talking about. At the end of WWII Nazi Germany had plans to build a Delta Wing (Stealth Bomber) that could fly from Peenemünde, fly east over Asia, the Pacific, and the US, drop a nuke on New York City, and then coast over the Atlantic while gradually dropping in altitude until it could land again at Peenemünde, given their knowledge on Jet Engines it was well within their abilities to build the planes that could carry the bomb, but they were never able to build the bomb so it was pointless for them to build the plane.
Irish said:That is the plan the Germans had for WW2, but USA knew this would be the case so they gave aid to those countrys, Cash and Carry being one, and then To Protection Cash and Carry. Out of the 100 million tonnes of supplys, 1 million was been lost. The more the Aid the Better, America was in no dirrect involvment with War and could stay Nutrual.
In 1939 out of 100 People in USA. 91 said they wanted to have nothing to do with war in Europe.
In 1940, 85 said the same.
In 1941, before PH, 80 said the same.
Figures could be one or 2 out.
So now if Germany didn't invade USSR, and finished of England, if Japan didn't Attack Pearl Harbour, this plan could have worked. Using the real time info we had on USA's war production up untill PH
I think if Germany invaded England and won, taken Ireland also, then there would no where to land in europe. Iceland also. Covered by both captured fleets and Air Support. Europe was in no danger from any country from invasion. And stops supplys to USSR. Full sub fleet, No support available to USSR. Both seas in control of enemy. Finland axis with Germany, because of USSR Invasion.
The Grill Instructor said:Just don´t forget the fact that Japan was Germany´s allied and even Japan gave the US a hard time.
Damien435 said:They could have been right, but they under estimated the resolve of America, which is something I think many people today do also, a lot of people say stuff like "America is to scared to attack country X." but yet we have a history of pulling together in tough times and being victorious in the end.

The Grill Instructor said:Remeber Vietnam ? Another Nation that was underestimated by the US.....victorious in the end ? I heard other stories
Alot of scenarios about the end of ww2 are possible. History have shown us, that America and Hitler have at least one thing in common : The believe in their undefeatable nation. Both already found out that they´re wrong.
