Not really. German metallurgy was not in any state to produce jet engines good enough to intercept bombers we’d soon have in service — indeed, nobody’s was, not until the mid-1950s. The bombs were in the pipeline, as were the bombers.

We could have turned Germany into glowing glass, which I’d argue certainly counts as a ‘defeat’. Very little extrapolation is necessary.

Just because the RAH RAH ‘MURRICA crowd is a bunch of clueless fainting ninnies doesn’t mean that their existence nullifies actual fact-based arguments that occasionally do indicate, in a rational and dispassionate evaluation, a RAH RAH ‘MURRICA outcome.

OK, so what you are saying is, the conditions remain the same up until after the US develops the A-bomb and long range bombers like the B-36, and then after all of the Allies disappear, the US defeats Hitler.

All by itself.

OK then.
