Comments by "The Phoenix Saga" (@The_Phoenix_Saga) on "What If the Allies Captured Hitler Alive During WW2" video.
The sad thing is - scenario three WAS very much possible; there were just two MINOR details that hindered it. Those being that the French - whilst back at the beginning of the war had one of the largest armies in the world by file rank soldier size - they were incredibly outdated in terms of tech and hadn't progressed since the end of the first world war. The second was that the French Leadership was inept and British Prime Minister Nevile Chamberlain was an appeasing coward - even after declaration of war, neither Britain or France did much of anything for almost ten months from the word go. Had they actually got their thumb out and been serious; even without the US, the war would've been over within a year at the most! Instead Rommel took France by surprise via the Arden and before the end of 1940, France was done for and Britain was in for the siege forever known as Blitzkrieg. Had Chamberlain actually remained PM he would've likely caved - Churchill was a saving grace thanks to his predecessor's failure and that took the crushing blow in the Nordics to make Nevile take the hint.
