@Drayke Newall : You are right : it's not a simple "Oh, but their navy wasn't big enough. , but a bigger ( or more succesful ) navy would have had impact and has added to the factors the Allies had the upper hand in. Still hard to speculate upon though if the roles had been reversed.  

The detail in your answer is very succint and thourough.

As far as navy goes, why would Germany need a big navy?

BelindaN mentioned it, because that is actually a huge impact. Unlike the UK ( being supported with shipments from the U.S.) , the Germans could not succesfully exploit their force on the water. There was an armed balance between the British and German fleet. That was settled in favour of the British after the Bismarck was sunk.  It also meant that Germany was incapable of collecting valuable resources from others parts of their conquered territory back to the harbour of Hamburg.
 

Unlike the UK , Germany was too isolated to be supplied by sea, so all their naval effort went into fighting the British supply convoys hard enough to almost tip the scale. Had they had a big enough or powerful enough navy including the dreadnoughts, the war would have been less hopeless to them.

I doubt though that would have been enough to win the war for them.

I think the difference would be that Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan would be fighting a more "active" war than the Cold War that happened between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. There would be more direct fighting between the two as they try to conquer the world.

Their territory would be all of Europe, Africa, and some of Asia and the Americas.

As pointed out already, Germany would have to have conquered several aspects outside the war itself : massproduction and capacity. Eventhough Germany was a highly high-quality producing nation at the time, based on sheer numbers alone, Germany was incapable of prolonging this war alone after the Americans joined the war and the invasion of Russia awoke a second industrial power to it's full strength even when pushed back over the Wolga.

By 1942 ( battle of El Alamein ) the war was basically already lost. It triggered Churchill' famous quote. " Not the beginning. Not the end. But the beginnging of the end ." regarding the German empire. After the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk the war was over for Germany.

The rest is a long tiresome defeat costing huge amounts of resources and life (on all sides). It's very hard to fictionally vision how a miracle victory ever could happen. Guess that's a very good reason the main antagonist of said age, being mad, desillusioned and demented,  pulled the trigger on himself in the end  after delaying the inevitable.

Ah, but "Leben" is "living", there's a small but subtle difference, the "Leibstandarte" were the SS life-guards division

I do admit however that I got my F and B mixed up in my previous post, rather misleading, I know.

As a noun Leben in German means Life. Leibstandarte is etymogically consisting of 2 words : ein Leib ( a body ) and eine Standarte ( a unit ) ..

Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler was the Führer' personal SS-unit.

Britain can peacefully leave today because you, the Dutch and French people, said No back in 2005

Perhaps. It remains to be seen when the Brexit is completed. It will be observed and followed if succesful. Undoubtedly.

TDD13, if this is what you want for the Netherlands also, then work toward electing a government that will do the same. Until you do this then you are pretty much yelling into the wind

If you are able to get the capatilists running my country step aside and not forge electoral outcomes to their own interests instead of that of the people, you will not find me yelling in the wind over fake democracy imposed by despots. Just because we cannot touch any of them, via THEIR court , does not mean they are right all along in passing this horrible federal state upon us, based on ideas of the 3rd Reich ( there I said it ).

I never voted for any of those seated in Brussels. Hardly anyone did in the EU. They all got there, because they concucted this system, abused the national governments to get their way and it was shoved down our throats without asking for it.  I don't care how they , or you, word it. It's individual freedom down the drain, just to get EU multnational companies cheap labour and better economic perspective, so they don't need to go and settle in 3rd world countries anymore.

Don't lecture me on laws. Seriously.

I am far from saying workers have all the rights they should.

 All these improvements came from Europe above what we had in the UK before, and all now at risk again.

Only proves to me you had it worse while everything we had as workers here was torn down. Don't get false hopes : within years the state of affairs of workers in the EU (will) have balanced to yours. Wages are no longer rising, ending contracts became easier and let's not start about the overtime and the rights to refuse it. Unions are numb and no longer effective on any level since years.

Everything we had and you consider positive, is dwindling away fast to become the very state your workers seem to be in according to you.

Workers rights for as long as I have paid any attention.

Do come work where I work and you'll find out how much more 'rights' you get here and how much influence ETUC has there.

You'll be gravely disappointed.

 That is not how negotiations work, they represent a wider community.

The question to ask is which ? I'm grateful those in favour for a Brexit at least understand this is a powerhouse of a few opposing them instead of the majority of the people living in the EU.

We don't need another White House in Brussels. It was established and created by those who don't give anything about democracy or rights.

@Aethelwine : Your obsession to leave the UK is not going to fare well when running into the arms of these despots nobody ever voted for. 

OK.. near Godwin .. but this 'guy' really takes the biscuit in coming close.

The EUs systems are based on either direct vote or appointments of their respective democratic Parliament's.

Wrong. You forgot one thing : My people ( the Dutch ) had a specific referendum ( people' vote ) explicitely  saying "NO!" to the Euro, the EU and us joining in it.

It was simply neglected and referenda have been abolished since then, because they don't want the people to have a voice.

 

What's NOT despotic about that ?
