Let me rephrase my question: What if Hitler publicly condemned the attack by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor? What if he cut all ties to Japan and offered help to the US. Hitler would have been a hero to most Americans. Before Pearl Harbor public opinion was against the US getting involved.

…..Why did Hitler not attack England in June 1940?
Batterie Lindemann was one of the most fearsome weapons incorporated into the Atlantic Wall. The massive casement for the main gun measured 50m long by 17m high. There were three in all. In total they fired 2,450 406mm rounds, mostly against coastal traffic, but also against Dover and other English ports.

Mark Ashwill But the Eastern front was collapsing and they simply had no choice but to send all the planes and more tanks to the east.

Stephen L. King Had the Germans completely crushed England, destroyed their infastructure and occupied it, the allies would have had nowhere to land. This, in my opinion was the German’s biggest mistake. Dunkirk was the key, but they didn’t pursue it.

Vince von Lamburg Yes !!! biggest mistake of all time !!! The Dunkirk kiss, Hitler was too damn soft !!!! Those men who escape returned later to fight again.
-
Mark Ashwill Yes I agree, Dunkirk was the last chance for the Germans but Hitler did not choose to destroy them as he had a fondness for the Brits and had hoped for peace after the evacuation.
-
Vince von Lamburg Yes he liked the British people AND the British empire IDEA. Hitler wanted an empire as England had.

Franz Maus Must of been deafening

John D. Nugent Hitler rightly had no confidence he could conquer England. He had no navy to cross the Channel and the British would have fought house-to-house like tigers to defend their island.THEN, when he was bogged down, the USSR might have attacked Germany from the East with five million men, as Suvorov claims in his Icebreaker book.

John D. Nugent Everyone knows better than Adolf Hitler. 😉
