Almost certainly not. The slave labor provided by concentration camp prisoners accounted for more than enough to make up[ for whatever resources were expended in transporting and murdering all those millions of people who never even made it as far as the labor camps. And the true extent of the Holocaust was not known to the Allies until after Germany surrendered, so it didn't have any real effect on the Allies resolve to force an unconditional surrender.
I disagree strongly with the person above who said that Britain would have won without the U.S. and Russia. Before those two countries entered the war Britain was hanging on by her fingernails. It was only Hitler's determination to crush the Soviet Union in 1941 and the fact that he had not wanted war with Britain in the first place and saw it as an unneccessary diversion that kept the Germans from invading Britain. I think the British would have put up one hell of a fight but in the end they's have been beaten simply because Germany had such a tremendous head start as far as weapons, troops, new tactics, etc.
Germany was doomed from the moment Hitler ordered the invasion of Russia. He continued a long-standing German tradition of biting off more than he could chew.

Most likely not, judging by their inability to win the First World War (even though there was no Holocaust then).
Once the United States joined the War to oppose Germany (both times), Germany was doomed.

Quite possibly yes.
You have to consider not only the effect of an extra 6-7 milion willing workers and the freeing up of almost 25% of the raiway transport capacity, but also the extra 10+ divisions that could be raised- both from the german jewish citizens and the people used for the guards/persecution. Also bear in mind that the Manhattan Project was staffed in a great part by ex-German citizens, hunted out into exile by the preparations for the Holocaust.

Nazi Germany was doomed from the start. Holocaust was simply an opportunity for the Hitler and otherr maniacs, sadists to carry out their monstrous sadistic murders including over one million children. These were monsters in the flesh. But Nazi Germany was doomed just as Iran would be doomed if they take on the world./You may wish to visit or join the most informative Yahoo! group:Remember_The_Holocaust-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

The Germans lost the second world war based on the outcome of Operation Barbarossa. The fate of the world was decided on the banks of the Volga in the autumn and winter of 1942... Everything else was a sideshow...the battle on the Western Front, the Battle of Britain, the U-boat war, and yes, the Holocaust.....

Germany launched the war to gain resources to challenge America. New studies have shown that Britain alone would have eventually won the war without the USSR or the United States. The Germans did waste tons of coal and resources to kill the Jews. They also wasted time on the railroads when they could have been transporting supplies and troops.

No. The Holocaust had nothing to do with Germany losing the war. The Allies knew what was going on but chose to ignore it in order to focus on fighting to end the war.

The Allies didn't fight Germany to end the Holocaust, just to keep Germany from taking over everything. So it would have made little difference.

No i do no longer think of the media many times hype up WW2. you ought to understand that this conflict replaced into the main important conflict fought in the two actual dimensions and in human involvement. additionally this conflict got here approximately in basic terms seventy one years in the past and those that have been combatants in it, had kin scuffling with in it are nonetheless alive (whether in smaller and smaller numbers each and every 12 months). those that fought interior the conflict on the yank section got here abode and started the 1st toddler develop. That technology of infants have been all raised via mom and dad that each and every person had a uncomplicated journey and that motivated how they raised their infants. as some distance because of the fact the style of Jews residing in Germany i'm no longer able to assert yet you could analyze it. as some distance because of the fact the style of jews killed interior the Holocaust i might say that i've got confidence the estimates through quantity of territory the Germans occupied in WW2. via the way it replaced into thousands and thousands of Jews killed no longer thousands of thousands. additionally many others have been killed in concentration camps as properly Jews.

No. The only ways for the Nazis to win the war would have been to make peace with Great Britain, or not to attack Russia, or to keep the US out of the war.
