While I'm decently sure that Finland would've lost the winter war without support, what do you reckon would've occured if the French-British plan to aid the Finns succeded? Just curious.

No, Impo. The Tanks that the Germans COULD mass produce were outclassed by the Sovs. But the Tigers and the Panthers were AMAZING tanks. They outclassed even the T-34 monsters that the Soviets threw forward. But the Germans had too few of them.
Plus, the German training was WAYYYYY better.
As a wise man once said, it's not the size that counts- it's whether you know how to use it.

if it had just been the Germans and Soviets, they would have fought one another to a standstill in Poland.

Standstill? Nah. Russians had numbers and raw resources. Germany spent most of WWII slowly running out of oil to power their tanks with.
The Soviets would, slowly, have pushed the Germans back. Poland's gone, ditto around a third of what we called East Germany.

Well, Numbers are moot if the soldiers lack training. Thus, the Soviets would be sending their troops into a bloodbath.

The Soviets would've won that 1v1.

Well, Spar, history kinda proves you wrong.
In individual battles, yes. Eventually, though...

How long would it have lasted, do yout think?
(edited by Spartian300)
Which? Germany v Russia, or Germany + Russia v Britain +US?
(edited by GunsnadGlory)
Germany v Russia.

Depends. If Hitler and Stalin remain in power throughout, Germany loses around 3-4 years in. If Hitler's idiocy is enough to enflame the Wehrmacht, you get something like a successful July 20th maybe two years in, and then the Wehrmacht, who actually know what they're doing, proceed to kill enough Russians to force a ceasefire in Mid-Poland, 6 or so years in.
