Hmmm, fascinating!

At the same time, there were instances, such as at Dunkirk, where Hitler could have crippled, if not knocked out completely, Great Britain. And from my viewing of The World At War, it seems as if the German U-boats could have similarly prevented the U.S. from successfully aiding GB if Hitler had devoted the resources to it, although the U-boats were extremely destructive as it was.

Hitler was his own worst enemy. So many of the decisions that ultimately cost Germany the war either began or ended with him. From epic blunders like Operation Barbarossa to his insistence that virtually every aircraft designed be capable of operating as a bomber.
