@SammyAmmunition@PearChudAura@skate_dont@Kittycel66 No, they didn't. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you but they were under European control for a good while before independence. And to settle the debate it's obvious that nuclear weaponry would secure a victory for 1939 Europe.
@VonGuld by 1945 America alone had multiple nukes they were planning on using against Japan. This is ALL of Europe. German scientists contributed massively to the Manhattan project, I would say by 1942 they could get multiple warheads ready on planes.
@Religiosity4ALL@271kdemons He saved his country from degeneracy and communism, rebuilt the German army from the ground up, and thus united the German people as a whole, so to answer your question very few historical figures challenge his glory!
@VonGuld@k_aesar1 They could definitely hold out for a few years, German science would accerlate greatly from Soviet and British cooperation. Once they get nuclear weapons, they could definitely get the Africans to sue for peace.
