What would have happened to Britain if Germany were successful at the Second World War?

Question

What would have taken place in Britain immedietley after Germany's victory? What would the Nazis have done?

Answer 1

What do you think? The National Socialist would have done to the British what they did to everyone else who fell prey to these socialist beasts.

Answer 2

It is actually scary how close the British came to falling during the Battle of Britain. If Hilter listened to Rommel and attacked the Suez Canal instead of Russia, Britain would have lost its oil reserves. Without oil, Britain would have fallen, not matter how hard the British fought back.

If Britain fell during WWII, the US would have put all its effort into defeating the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. Germany could then turn its attention on attacking the US (if they would have listened to Rommel and never attacked the Soviet Union). It would have been a very bloody and long war if the Germans and Japanese focused their military strength on attacking the Americas. The US and Canada would be just now recovering from the war on their soil.

Eventually the US and the Axis would have signed a peace treaty. But today most of Europe and Asia would still be under a fascist government.

Answer 3

The average British citizen back in the 1940 would not take to being occupied like so many of their contemporaries " on the continent " did. They would not take to being slaves either.

Hitler knew this about the Brits and he also knew this about the Americans.

The Nazis would have had to kill millions of British civilians before they could even think about occupation. The Nazis would not only control England but would then control all of the Empires colonial interests which would have put them in possession of much of the worlds natural resources.

Answer 5

(Vichy) France, Spain, Portugal, eire, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey have been independent international locations and had friendly commerce and diplomatic family members with the two components. All different ecu international locations have been the two occupied or lively allies of the two the Axis or Allied powers. the united kingdom and the U. S. controlled the Atlantic Ocean, whilst Germany controlled the Baltic Sea. administration of the Mediterranean Sea replaced into fought over till 1943 and the Allied invasion of Sicily. commerce could and replaced into performed by ability of the countless warring counties in the plain limits of being waiting to sail someplace without being sunk by ability of a submarine or bombed by ability of an airplane. it form of feels you are able to desire to learn the "conflict of the Atlantic" to learn a bigger appreciation of the international because it existed for the period of international war 2 related to international commerce. Up till November of 1942 Germany replaced into winning the war so no invasion of France, Belgium or Holland replaced into available. Too many Germans have been guarding the seashores. An invasion in 1943 might have been volatile landing everywhere. by ability of 1944, an Anglo-American invasion replaced into especially confident to be triumphant in the section chosen, Normandy in France.

Answer 6

The Nazis had already compiled a list of prominent political figures that were marked for arrest (and likely execution) once they had taken Britain, a few thousand or so if I remember.

Naturally the Jews, Romanies, Communists, Gays, and anybody else they didn't like would have suffered similar fates to those people in the rest of Europe.

I found the 'Black Book' page on Wikipedia, here goes..

The Black Book was the post-war name given to the "Sonderfahndungsliste G.B.", German for "Special Search List Great Britain". It was a product of the SS Einsatzgruppen and contained the names of thousands of people living in Britain to be arrested if Operation Sealion, the invasion of Britain, succeeded. It was compiled by Walter Schellenberg. Many of the people on the list had already died, as in the case of Sigmund Freud, or had fled, as had Paul Robeson. Of the 20,000 original copies of this book, only two are known to be in existence. One is currently at the Imperial War Museum.

Notable people on the list were:

Robert Baden-Powell - Founder and leader of Scouting - (Scouting was regarded as a 'spy organization' by the Nazis);
Eric Blair aka George Orwell - for anti-totalitarian views
Violet Bonham Carter -"Encirclement Lady Politician";
Vera Brittain - writer and pacifist
John Buchan - for being "a Jewish sympathiser";
Neville Chamberlain - a leading British politician;
Winston Churchill - for being a prominent anti-Nazi/Prime Minister;
Noel Coward - possibly for being an armed forces entertainer as well as his homosexuality or for working for MI5;
E. M. Forster - for being homosexual;
Sigmund Freud - for being Jewish ;
Paul Robeson - for being a communist
George Bernard Shaw - for openly ridiculing the Nazis
H. G. Wells - for being a socialist;
Virginia Woolf - likely for being bisexual, or for political activity in the Bloomsbury Group;
Beside each name was the number of the "Amt" (department) of the RSHA (Reich Main Security Office) that the person was to be handed over to. Churchill was to be placed into the custody of Amt VI (Foreign Military Intelligence), but the vast majority of the people listed in the Black Book would be placed into the custody of Amt IV (Gestapo).

On learning of the book, Rebecca West is said to have sent a telegram to Noel Coward saying "My dear - the people we should have been seen dead with."

Franz Six was also charged with the creation of six Einsatzgruppen located in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool and either Edinburgh or Glasgow. These death squads would be charged with the elimination of civilian resistance members and Jews all over Great Britain

Answer 7

Why would Britain be different than any of the other places that Hitler occupied ?

Answer 8

Same as they would do with everyone else... "cleanse" the society- and all of the other countries of the world... Glad THAT didn't happen.

Answer 9

I THINK THE USA WOULD STILL HAVE VANQUISHED THE NAZIS BUT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN MUCH LONGER AND WITH MANY MORE DEATHS AND THE BRITISH LANDSCAPE WOULD HAVE BEEN IRREVOQABLY ALTERED.
