    Which causes USA to promptly declare war on Japan and Germany. If Nazi Germany wants to even survive WW2, they have to keep USA neutral. Otherwise it's only a matter of time before "splat".

    The best situation for Germany after the Surrender of France is to go on the defensive in Western Europe while letting their U-boats attack convoys. The RAF will try to bomb France and Germany, but without effective escort fighters they will be picked off and destroyed by Luftwaffe fighter...

    Such a event would be highly unlikely, unless the US remains strictly neutral and the UK position is highly untenable (only 10k-20k men were successfully evacuated at Dunkirk and other evacuations from France are equal failures) Otherwise Churchill will demand the withdrawal of German troops...

    Luftwaffe killed their own Jagdwaffe when they chose the Bf 109 and Bf 110. There were better fighters available in the form of the He 100 and Fw 187 but stupid Nazi internal politics killed them both. Also, a stronger focus on glider infantry would help the invasion plan. You only need one...
