This week, Adolf Hitler is blown up and Hideki Tojo steps down. In the Pacific, the Americans land on Guam and prepare for hard fighting. In France, the Americans take Saint-Lô and British and German armored forces clash around Caen. In the East, the Red Army enters Latvia, tears a gap in Army Group North, and reaches the gates of Lvov.

Scenario: Operation Valkyrie is completely successful. What do you guys think would have happened? The new anti-N*z* German government surrenders unconditionally to all of the Allied nations? Does it only order its forces facing the Western Allies to either surrender or to move east while it focuses on preventing the Red Army from crossing into Germany’s pre-war borders? Or does this new government continue the fight on all fronts, but with a new military leadership that will make much better and sound decisions moving forward???? The Big “what if” of this week and maybe of the year!

The time the coup goes off even if successful wouldn't end the war as quickly as some would hope. The coup planners were anti-nazi but believed in anti-bolshevism and wanted a conditional surrender at worst And a combined anglo-german anti bolshevik alliance to fight the red army. Some planners delusionally thought the western democracies would see Germany as a 'savior' from Bolshevism and Communism, and would ally with them right away. After the Casablance Conference it was agreed by the allies to accept ONLY unconditional surrender from Germany to ALL allied powers.. so the coup planners hope of any sort of peace attainable with conditions was an unattainable dream.

I thought Tojo was holding a blunt here for a second.
