Considering the Germans would have bombers suitable for this, some British city would be bombed. Some industrial complex in the Urals or Moscow would be bombed for the SU. Not Leningrad and Stalingrad as the Germans still had a chance to take them. Or of course, deploy it at Kursk. There would be a cold war as the Nazis figure out how to get their bombs to America. There could also be the possibility that without Soviet or British reinforcement, Japan actually defeats the US What about the Oil Problem |

At that point Germany would likely be planning a Doomsday Invasion of the USA. This would create 3 fronts for the US. You have to remember Canada was under British control during WWII. |

Operation Gunnerside is a less known yet really important battle in ww2. The nazis gained control over a norwegian powerplant in 1940, able to make nuclear weapons. The germans would have maked the first nuclear weapons by 1943, before the us. Due to norwegian and brittish actions this powerplant was disabled in operation Gunnerside. But what if it failed? What would have happened if the nazis had the power of the nuclear weapon? Would they bombed london for an example, and force Brittish surrender. Same for Moscow, same for Washington. Could the nazis won with the power of the nuclear weapons? Maybe you should do a presentation on this, I'd be very interested. I know of the operation, but I dont know much about it. I honestly don't think it could do much at all by the time they developed it. Keep in mind that it took years and years and years for the Manhattan Project to yield a result (The A-Bomb) in July of 1945. I'd say it would take until at least 1944 to produce it, 1943 seems a bit early, especially considering that many of the top German scientists had already fled outside the country during the 30's. And by that point, the Soviets would not surrender...period. They were rolling through German forces in the East and by July of 1944, basically the entire German central army in the East had been annihilated, with the Northern and Southern ones being in shambles. The Germans could drop the A-Bomb on Moscow or some large city, but the Soviets were not going to surrender due to just one or even two A-Bombs. Also, lets remember that only a limited amount of A-Bombs could have been produced. The effect on the USSR wouldnt have mattered in my opinion, and they couldn't really harm the Americans, but what of Britain? Well, by 1944, the British and American air forces had basically achieved aerial superiority, making any attempt to nuke them basically futile. IF they were able to developed better missiles, then maybe they could nuke a British city and just maybe put them out of action. |

Ivan Kolev is correct that only an economic superpower would have sufficient funds to pay for Project Manhattan. Soviets just simply stole the secrets to help them fill in the gaps in their lagging research. Germany was moving along fairly well until it hits the obstacle of insufficient materials to work with at that scale of the next stage of nuclear testing.

Not even the foreign policy so much by 1939, WWII was the first war where Canada officially declared war on their own (Albeit, when the Brits sort of made them). The only area directly under British control was Newfoundland, which they returned in 1949. |

I believe it's a part of the province Newfoundland and Labrador. |
