Moot point....would Germany have lasted as long in different theatres having concentrated their forces on a single border?
If not who is to say Britain would not have survived? [/QUOTE]I'm not sure if Germany would have needed to concentrate in other theatres immediately if they hadn't tried to go for the USSR. It was initially a "European War," so once Britain was gone Hitler could have played nice until his forces were better prepared. With more time, Germany's rocket program would have made a huge impact (no pun intended)
Who can say for sure whether Britain would have gone down? Being a British citizen, I'd like to think not, but it sure didn't look good. England was throwing everything they had at Germany but Hitler was arrogant to the point, he felt he didn't need to focus 100% on the Brits.
