Was there any chance The United Kingdom could have fell to Germany in WWII?
A very slim chance. Had the bulk of the British army not escaped at Dunkirk then the UK would have been left with very few trained armed forces and that would have weakened any defence from a seaborne invasion. Simple numbers as well as having trained and experienced soldiers might well have swung the balance for the invaders. Secondly during the Battle of Britain the Nazis switched their plan of attack from going after the airfields to bombing the towns and cities in an effort to demoralise the population. If they had focused on bombing the airfields then by 1941 they could have succeeded in keeping sufficient numbers of RAF fighters out of the sky for long enough to have some kind of superiority in the air to support an invasion fleet. However they didn’t and the long ranges that the luftwaffe had to fly to fight over the UK meant that any superiority would have been fleeting.
– It certainly would not have been possible for Hitler to stage a successful naval invasion across the Atlantic to take the Eastern Seaboard, irrespective of whether or not America succeded in Europe. He simply did not have a Navy that was large enough for that task. I considered various ways in which the Germans would have defeated America, assuming that they had succeeded in their mission to conquer the Soviet Union: 1. They might have attempted to conquer Alaska, based on their ability to control Siberia and the arctic regions of Russia. From there, they would have rolled over poorly defended Canada, from which they would have launched a massive invasion from the sparsely populated North-Western US. 2. Using the historic grievances that Mexico has, especially over territorial loss in the 1848 war, Hitler could have encouraged the Mexicans to stage a massive military invasion from the South (something similar to what their illegals are already doing). Given that many South Americans
