"Had all you suggested happened, what would the USA have done, sat back and watched?" - Asks Raggy
Yes - because that is what history records that they DID DO - unless you know any different Raggy.
It also has to be remembered that in December 1941 while the USA declared war on Japan, it was Nazi Germany that declared war on the USA - NOT the other way about.
"A joint venture between the USA and the UK fast tracked an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead and Germany was wiped of the face of the earth with it." - Chips in the Gnome as a possibility in 1938
REALLY?? Here are a few flaws for you to ponder Gnome:
1: Time to create this JV and what would have been in it for the USA? Would that time taken be less than the time that it would have taken the Germans to defeat and overrun Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium and France?
2: In 1938 the USA was less prepared for war than Great Britain and France.
3: The extent of US and British knowledge on ballistic missiles in 1938 was what Gnome? IIRC US missile technology only started to advance when they took a German scientist one Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun back to the USA in 1945.
4: In 1938 nuclear physics was in its infancy (Nuclear fission was only discovered in 1938 - by German scientists) the actual Manhattan Project began very modestly in 1939 in the USA, while at the same time in Great Britain the same work was started. It would take until 1945 until three operational bombs were built. Now tell me Gnome how Great Britain would have survived those six years of bombings and losses of merchant ships?
You see the difference between idiotic fantasy and reasoned and logical thought Gnome?
I can state with a great degree of certainty what would have happened in 1938 in Czechoslovakia and in Holland, Belgium and in France because of what did happen to them in 1939 and in 1940 with no changes to German plans and no special additions to German equipment or forces.
I can state with a great degree of certainty what would have happened if the RAF of 1938 had come up against the Luftwaffe because of the combat records of the aircraft involved in Finland, in Norway and in Greece where Gloster Gladiator fighters took on German Me-109Es without the benefit of being controlled and directed via an integrated early warning command and control system.
