Hitler's Baffling Decision
Hitler had the British forces trapped and surrounded at Dunkirk .
Yet he didn't, (to the fury of his generals )give the order to ' take them out ' ( thank god )
This decision has baffled historians ever since , who consider that his decision caused him to lose WW2
One theory is that the British upper class was sympathetic with the nazi ideology and Hitler was keen to broker a deal to leave Britain alone - hence Rudolph Hess trip to Scotland .
What sort of world would we be living in now , if he had made the alternative decision

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A far more baffling decision, in my opinion, was for Germany to declare war on the USA.
Roosevelt was desperate to keep the USA out of the war in Europe, which was clearly greatly to Germany's advantage. When the USA declared war on Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, things would appear to have been going even more in favour of Hitler because, with their forces already involved in a different war, the USA would be even less likely to want to join the conflict in Europe. So Hitler's decision to declare war on the USA, dragging US forces into fighting against his own troops, seemed to be totally illogical.
(Yes, I know that Germany had a pact with Japan but Hitler was perfectly happy to ignore international treaties elsewhere in the world).

I have little doubt that Europe would be a much better place now if Germany had won WWII.
Despite losing the war and being totally wrecked, Germany went on to dominate Europe post war. One military adviser at the formation of NATO was Von Manstein, a leading Nazi general in the Russian campaign. Hitlers financial plans were also the basis of the Common Market.
People on here jokingly refer to the EU as the EUSSR, but I prefer the EUREICH, because it ended up with Germany dominating Europe financially and industrially.
there is a film exploring Europe if Hitler had won.
