It wasn’t that close and even if they managed to get some sort of win, they would never have been able to hold it. Mainstream media likes to portray Nazis as an efficient machine, but it turns out when you hand out promotions based on the shape of the officer’s faces, you get a dysfunctional military.
There would be no way to stop. The German economy was really messed up by the Nazis. They essentially had no exports because they were producing mainly materiel for the war and were under an embargo anyway.
That means they had no way to get money besides literally taking it from conquered countries. The problem is, you can only loot once. This created a vicious cycle where they became more isolated and needed to conquer even more.
Honestly, before nukes existed, the Nazis could have been defeated by an embargo. But it would have cost more lives. Invading Germany saved lives and the nukes saved even more lives in Japan.
It was kind of a big one, though.
And they picked as their opponent, the world!
