What if the Axis and Soviet joined forces vs. the Allies during WWII?

Wow! There is a speculative question beyond imagination. I am going to think on that and get back to you. Great question.

Honestly I dont think they would have because the Germans and Russians hated each other with a passion. Thats a big reason why Hitler broke his treaty with them. Also the Japs and Russians had a long, bitter relationship with each other much like the Germans. So I really dont think that with Stalin as leader of Russia and Hitler of Nazi Germany, there would have not been longer friendships between the Axis powers.

Let's forget for a moment about the fact that Hitler and Stalin hated each other's guts. I think that if Germany and Russia joined forces the rest of the world would have been in big trouble. I don't think the Allies would have been able to defeat both of them in a straight out fight. I do believe that atomic bomb would have been used much sooner than it was and it would not have been against Japan.

They certainly would have ended Great Britains freedom, we probably would have stayed out of it letting it remain a European thing. Brit Navy would have gone to Canada and we could have kept an ocean btwn us

Or what if we had done what Patton wanted to do and keep marching east to Moscow. The man was a visionary.

Maybe it would of been the end of WW2, and then WW3 would of started with us, Mexico, and Canada, and Cloumbia of course (for their anesthetics). We would of gone to the gates of Moscow, knocked, and delivered a large nuclear pizza, with anchovies of course!

I may be wrong...

But I don't think the atomic bomb could have been used much sooner than it was. The development was frantic because of the fear of a Nazi bomb and, from what I've read, it was used in action as soon as possibe after the first test...

Of course, if there had been a Nazi/Soviet alliance, the whole of Europe would almost certainly have been conquered and America may well have found herself completely isolated in 1941. Without the input from Britain there may never have been a Manhatton Project...

All the best
