    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    Ok, how about this technical what if- the PAW 600 enters service in January 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_cm_PAW_600 Followed later in the year by the PAW 1000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerwurfkanone_10H64 Much cheaper and easier to make anti-tank with the punch to knock out any...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    Doubtful given that it won't change enough quickly enough to cause the Allies to seek peace short of total victory. But it will be an exhausting victory and may well cause a different post-war world. Much like how the war ending 3 months early would likely change the post-war situation...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    How about this as a POD: Panzerfausts are developed at least 12 months earlier. That gives time for the PzF 250 to enter service, which was equivalent to the RPG-2, which many claim was effectively a rip off of the German experimental design IOTL. The reason it would matter ITTL would be the...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    Maybe. The German front was close to collapse in December 1944 in the West, so without attacking the Allies easily take the Ruhr and jump the Rhine before February. Which means Germany falls in May, just to the Wallies instead. Even with a major offensive in Hungary on January 1st that smashes...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    If that happens the war is either going to be over by August or going well beyond August as the only active front will be the Polish-Oder one, but now the Germans can concentrate their reserves there. It will take a LOT longer for the Wallies to recover in the scenario I laid out, as the 90...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    The BotB was an offensive through the Ardennes aimed at Antwerp. The 'small solution' offensive (a real plan by Rundstedt and Model as an alternative to Hitler's crazy offensive plan) was going to be a pincer move, the main thrust in the Ardennes, but staying east of the Meuse and turning north...

    What is the latest plausible PoD that can keep the European Axis fighting until 1 August, 1945?

    It was Rundstedt and Model's idea, I just suggested what if it had happened instead. It most certainly would work for this given that if it worked the Wallied armies would be crippled and wouldn't be able to take a significant offensive action for at least 6 months as a result and free up at...
