Nazi Germany at their peak? How well would our intelligence be capturing/killing Hitler? And all the other Nazi leaders?

Pretty instantaneously.

Intercontinental ballistics and other missile tech. Jets.

Arms and armaments have advanced to the point where the German tactics are irrelevant.

Maybe one of the tankers on here could tell us how impactful their tank rounds would even be against current armor (I assume poorly, but I have no idea).

It would be so unbelievably one-sided that it isn’t even worth it to game out.

We would spot Hitler and his high command via satellite and erase him from existence before the war even started.

Cyber intelligence and drones would take the Nazis out within several weeks

Weeks?

Look what we did to Iran’s leadership in less than that.

This would be like the “redcoats against modern army” discussions.

It would be an absolute annihilation.

Just think how simple the D-day landing would be with modern tech.

Every bunker erased with precision.

It would simply be a massacre.

Which we have, at least in part, thanks to Werner Von Braun

That's if today's leaders were in charge. If 1940s military leaders were running the show, about an hour. They would just nuke Berlin and be done with it.

Different discussion and I’m not going to derail the thread.

We took out multiple high ranking officials and leaders, including Khamanei in less than “weeks”, in a world where they expect the tech and built bunkers.

It would take no time at all erase the entire Nazi power structure.

Because there is no public or political support for another Desert Storm.

Also because we don't know how to fight this war and are built for a war of yesterday.

At what point is the invasion?

Have the Germans sent a bunch of people to the gas chambers yet?

Also, instead of Jews, what if they were going after Muslims?

Again, We didn't do it quickly in 1945 and we haven't done it quickly in recent times.

Would we win, yep. Would we cut all the heads on hydra off within a few weeks? Not likely.

Even with gloves on and directed strikes, it would be over before they knew it.
