    This implies that the Germans successfully achieved building atomic weapons in late 1941 … four years ahead of the Americans who detonated their first atomic weapon in July 1945.

    If the Nazis had working atomic weapons so early in the war, they were also the ones with working long range missile technology. It would have been very difficult and near impossible to stop them if they had long range missiles with nuclear war heads.

    Yes, the world would have not dealt with the Soviet Union … but we would have had to live with a world power headed by authoritarian Nazis that did not think twice of killing off cultural groups they didn’t like by the millions.

    I don’t think it would have been a very peaceful world … or a peaceful world for the majority of the people on the planet … unless you were the right color and the right race.
