I think it'll be a good time for me to add that this business of 'speaking
german' is pretty
dumb when said about Britain. Although the empire didn'
t contribute to world war II, Hitler admired it, and looked up to the british as
friends rather than enemies. Even churchill himself was a flipside of the same coin as Hitler in what they wanted(They both were great orators, looked to build upon thier empire, inspirational leaders etc.).
Unlike his attitude towards
France or Russia, Hitler would never had forced Britain under a vichy government had he won. He would, however, after conquering Europe have attacked north
america .His writings present a dim view of the united states- so he would make sure the culture would not be preserved. In
short, britain would have
german as a second language, the united states would have it as a first language.
Fortunately, this never happened. But If britain did fall then hitler would have the time he needed, as well as resources to pause the war, and resume it after he had created the nuclear warheads that were planned.
Although never launched, Von Braun had already completed a modification of the V2 (The v2 was actually the finishing part) that could well exceed the 220 mile restrictions of the
popular V2, and instead could reach
new York. Such an expense could not be justified by the normal one ton warhead of explosives found on normal V2s. Although lagging behind the united states by about 18 months, Hitlers nuke programme could have been better realised with an entire continent under control. In the same mannor as he suddenly attacked Czech and
poland to recover the mining fields and the polish corridor (Gdansk, formerly Danzig) he could have blitzed the united states into oblivion with nuclear missiles that could not be shot down
like an enola gay.
