1: Yes it is guesswork, you don't KNOW that would have happened, you cannot KNOW that would have happened, you can only speculate it MAY have happened.

No guesswork at all Raggy.

We know that Germany, Hungary and Poland carved up Czechoslovakia don't we? We know that because that is what actually happened

We know that Germany overran Holland in seven days don't we? We know that because that is what actually happened

We know that Germany overran Belgium in eighteen days don't we? We know that because that is what actually happened

We know that Germany overran France in 46 days don't we? We know that because that is what actually happened

We know that in 1938 Chain Home was not operational don't we? It was not operational until 1939. We know because that is recorded fact So it is safe to say that had war broken out in 1938 and it took less than six months to get the Germans from Germany and Czechoslovakia to the French channel ports it would mean that any Battle of Britain would have to be fought without any early warning radar.

We know that the RAF's main front line fighter aircraft in 1938 was the Gloster Gladiator don't we? Another recorded fact. We know from actual combat records that the Gloster Gladiator was no match at all for the German Me-109E. So it is safe to say that the German air force would have succeeded in wiping out the RAF in an 1938 version of the Battle of Britain.

2: As for America, it is entirely possible that to become the superpower they are they would have had to make war on a powerful German state and defeat it.

Why? Do you believe in pre-destiny Raggy? Why would America HAVE TO become a superpower? To do that why would they have had to fight Germany. All they had to do was wait and let Germany wear itself out fighting Soviet Russia - You see I am sure somebody in the American State Department had read Hitler's book. America could have made a fortune selling to both Germany and Russia.
