is it true Germany could have BTFO'd the USA in a one-on-one fight, or was it possible for us to beat the Germans without the Soviet Union?

Let's think about that one a second
>>33790415
Even without nukes, US industry and manpower would still be stronger than Germany.
>>33790437
Not to mention how outrageously BTFO the Germans would be trying to stretch a supply line across the Atlantic. They could probably hold out on the defense, but they would have a hard as fuck time pushing even across the channel, to say nothing of threatening mainland US
What do you mean by BTFO'd the USA? Invasion and occupation? If so, the United States had 50% greater population. Also, lots of oil. There's no way the Germans could have won 1-on-1.
Just push America out of Europe? Sure, easy, as long as the war wrapped up before America developed nukes.

On paper in 1941 they had 3 million troops shit ton more tanks, US had 100,000.
Let's remove the Atlantic as an equation and pretend the US was a land mass bordering Germany. US would still win because it is so large the Germans blitzkrieg method wouldn't allow them to hold the land they advanced over. Same thing that happened to the British. Also if you think America fought with valor in WW2 just lending a hand to Europe, we'd be twice as pissed and more resolved if our own country was attacked.

Nazi germany had other countries, nations and lands (most of europe without any enemy guerrillas) when it was fighting both the SU and US.
1 on 1 they had little chance against anyone
Not even a fatnik but its painfully obvious to see that Americans had the upper hand in so many areas;
- Resources & industrial might
- Logistical capability
- Nukes
It would VERY quickly turn into a defensive war for the Nazis.
>>33790400
No, even if the US wasn't on the other side of the ocean, the sheer difference in population, natural resources and industry would render it impossible for the Germans to beat the US
The germans were crippled by there racist idealogy, and diverting resources towards there ectermination programs instead of the war effort. The US Military (thanks to our heros and vets) would have roasted them 10 to 1 regardless. Russia was and is to this day inconsequential and a little speed bump for the US
>>33790400
None. USA couldn`t get a foothold in Europe if Germany wasn`t fighting USSR, and Germany didn`t even had a capability to launch invasion on Britain over a narrow channel - they could not pass Atlantic due to USN.

>Let's remove the Atlantic as an equation and pretend the US was a land mass bordering Germany
Americans would be pushed all the way to Cheyenne mountains
Disregarding Nukes, neither side could invade the other. The US could keep bombing the germans (though at higher losses than IRL), but invasion would be impossible with a proper army and semi-competent air defences in france.
Using nukes, of course, could have triggered nerve agent attacks on britain... or perhaps indeed a german coup and peace offer/surrender. Who knows.

The united state being bordered by an agressive, armed power would never become demilitarized the way they were before WWII. If they really, REALLY fuck up the way stalin did, it would maybe end like the historical WWII in the east, except a lot faster.
