User blog comment:NovaSims/What WW2 have been like if Hitler adnt attacked Russia and Japan hadnt attacked America?/@comment-3510410-20120909192746

The Nazis since 1933 had been building up for an attack on Russia. Not just physically but psychologically. By 1939 the Soviets were also starting to build up and expand their military. Had the Nazi's decided not to launch Operation Barbarossa (which is pretty unlikely without a change in leadership), you'd get a lot of confused citizens. And then, with a better equiped military, the Soviets would eventually attack and screw up Germany even quicker. The situation would be terrible, with the Russians running riot across Germany (you only have to look at what they did in Prussia, and then magnify that to the whole of the country). The only hope would be if the Allies launched D-day.
