Default Re: U-Boats Were the Key

Sheesh, Polish, you take all the fun out of arguing. OK, OK, I agree, Hitler was a dunce and his highest ranking political stooges (and even some of his military toadies like Raeder) were yes men. My only point here is that the Germans COULD EASILY have built U-boats instead of those useless battlewagons and battlecruisers during the 1930s, and with even twice the number they had (around 52 at the beginning of the war) the Atlantic would have been closed tight to reenforcement of England from North America. Game, set, and match to Germany. At the very least, the war would have been much, much longer, and possibly even ended with some sort of negotiated settlement leaving Germany in control of Europe.
