What's new

Battle of Britain. Germany failed to take sky. Japan + Italy sat out on Germany. So much for allies.

.
Italians and Japanese were fighting the anglos in different fronts (North Africa/Mediterranean and East Asia[Hong Kong/Burma]) respectively
 
.
Japan had 6 large aircraft carriers and they had long range nimble Zero fighter planes. If Japan helped Germany Axis would have won WW2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain

Zero fighter is thrashed. No armor plate and in fact just a civilian plane fitted with machine gun. That is why you just need to score a few accurate shot and is enough to tear thru the whole plane. While western aircraft are armour and will need a bigger gun or more shot to bring it down.

The Japanese realised this massive flaw but was too late.
 
.
In effect, the OP is saying.

Germany lost the Battle of Britain because they don't have Japanese Naval Power, which is 6 carriers. So they lost because they don't have 300 zero fighter on their side?

LOL You know how many BF-109 and German Luftwaffe plane were engaged in the Battle of Britain?

@Superboy at his best.

Very small fronts. The important front was battle of Britain. Japan could have deployed Zero fighter planes to Normandy and they would have won. Me 109 had very short range.

Me 109 had short range. Zero had long range. Deploy thousands of Zero to Normandy and they would have won.

Did you ever account the logistics of this??

Why would Japan send all of its stuff halfway across the world?

A. Battle of Britain is a Cross Channel fight, Range is NOT an issue, the German are to control the lower England from France, ME-109 can cross the channel multiple time in 1 flight. Most aerial engagement between Germany And England ran out of ammo before ran out of gas, read some book or watch some documentary. PLEASE/

B. What an argument? If Germany Deploy THOUSANDS OF ANY AIRCRAFT to Normandy on top of their force would have seen the German won.

Exactly how stupid are you?

Germany did not have enough manpower to win battle of Britain. Britain population almost same as Germany. If Japan and Italy and France joined the battle they would have won.

Again, this is just plain stupid.

If you know anything about WW2 history, you know it is NOT the number Germany lose the war, they would have won had they keep CAP over the channel and not bomb the city. This is a commonly known fact.

Also, it's naïve and stupid to claim "if XXX and YYY join the war on ZZZ side, they would have won" because th reverse would also be true. What if US and Canada and Australia join the British side?

I know, right?

They were part of British empire. They fought on Britain side.

Man, you really should read some history.

Both US and Australia did not help defend UK prior to entering the war, US was independent since 1774 and is neutral prior to Pearl Harbor and Australia is Federalized in 1901, and did not help the British Defence during pre-war era and themselves are busy with potential Japanese invasion. Canada is the only one commonwealth country that have any official duty to protect the British Empire at that point, even so, their contribution is little.

Of all the airmen flew in British Side, only 20% (out of almost 3000) are non British, of those, only 112 Canadian, 32 Australian, 9 American and 127 New Zealander were amongst those written into RAF roll of honour.

Makes sense very few Americans volunteered at battle of Britain. Americans flew P-40. They were not trained to fly Spitfire and Hurricane.
