After the BoB, when it was abundantly clear that mainland Britain couldn't be taken out, Hitler should have consolidated his gains and attempted...
I definitely agree with T.A. that the Japanese would need better preparation to fight against a land power like the Soviets... T.A. I'd like to...
The Japs absolutely hated Communism like the rest of the allies that intervened in the Russian Civil War... that and their desire to turn Siberia...
This is utter nonsense. The Japs had a lot to gain from the Russian Far East... in the Russian Revolution they desperately tried to hold onto it...
From the historical numbers I've looked at... the Japanese army had 51 divisions totalling 1.7 million men in 1941 and the navy had 300,000...
It's been awhile since this thread has been active so I've refrained from posting, but now that I've spent some time analyzing this scenario I've...
