Talk:The French invasion of Germany-1939

Aftermatch
Let's assume that France in fighting mood would be easily defeated by 1939 German army. It would be a close match that could go either way.

I don't understand why Britain would surrender. They did not OTL after the fall of Norway or the defeat of France in 1940, when the Nazis had not only taken down their main ally in Continental Europe but also neutral nations such as the Netherlands and Belgium. Most likely such a defeat would have cost an earlier resignation of Chamberlain with an earlier promotion of Churchil, but even Chamberlain would fight. It would be contrary to the history of the British Empire to allow an hegemonic power in Europe.

But let's handwave this also. With Britain out of the war, not needing to control the Mediterranean of fortifying the Atlantic, or diverting resources for the Battle of Britain or a Battle of the Atlantic, Germany would have a significant advantage over the Soviet Union in 1941. with Britain not bombing German soil, there would be less taboo from the Nazis to engage in a chemical war if those Slavic Untermensch would ever gain an advantage.
