    My favorite “What if the Nazis won?” timeline I ever heard was basically “Hey, remember Dunkirk? What if the weather was clear during that? Well…”

    The guy basically says there was no way Germany could actually win the war, not with any kind of realistic change, like, you can’t just change Hitler to not be crazy, but changing the weather for a few days would make a difference, but only so that Germany wins against Britain really early and is able to focus 100% on Russia, eventually beating them, finally having won all the wars it had going on at the moment… until America declares war and drops nukes on them and yeah…

    Still, love the whole “Yeah, no, they can’t ever actually win, no matter what you change.”
