re: At full strength who was more powerful in ww2 Germany or US?

Ummm no…First, Germany needed resources and the right scientists to develop an effective atom bomb/two things it lacked. Then you have to protect your nuclear factories from getting the shvt bombed out of them

Second, let’s say Germany miraculously developed an effective bomb. Now you need effective air range and clear air superiority to keep this plane from getting blown up in the sky. There’s no way in hell they were going to be able to reach the US and I don’t think the Brits and Russians were just going to sit there and let German planes fly in their air space.

Third, Russia wasn’t sitting their jerking off waiting for the Germans to attack them. Operation Barbarossa was a do or die situation. If the Germans would’ve waited any longer than they would have ran in to a much stronger and well prepared Russia which defeats the whole point in blitzkrieg.
