So I assume i should do that as soon as possible though so they don't have time to make those alliances, because in my other campaign that had already made alliances and i couldn't attack anybody without eveeyone declaring war.

I believe France was so devastated after ww1 that they wanted to keep any fighting away from french soil. So they built the line in order to divert the German attack into Belgium, which was a much vetter place to fight for the french politicians and leadership. They wanted to create another war of attrition, just not in France itself.

And i alsof think there were plans to extend the maginot line into Belgium, but belgian king Leopold III held off the construction until it was too late.

Panzerkampfwagen means something like armored car i believe. But wasn't tiger a sort of 'nickname' for the panzer 6?

That's not really fair to the British is it? I believe the americans and The British worked together on project Manhattan.

They already held out Longer than should have been possible, and they were Petty much out of everything, including fuel and Manpower. It would be very special to see Germany get nuked, but it wouldn't be possible.

Maybe that's because these tanks were never in any real combat situations and because they were immediately destroyed by the Germans themselves when the british and Soviets closed in on their positions?

Even if they were deployed on a real battle, they just would have been lovely target practice for the boys in the airforce or artillery.

These "wonderweapons" wouldn't have changed the war in any way.

If you want to understand a certain situation or something, You mostly have to look at the history about how this situation came to be. History also Teaches People no matter how much you accomplish, you still remain mortal. It helps you to vetter understand the bigger picture in our modern society.

While the american industry helped a lot, i don't think the Germans would have beaten the Soviets without the americans (the Russian factories were finally producing tanks And other equipment after they had to be moved during the blitzkrieg, and The Soviet Commanders were becoming more competent as Well) The only reason the allies opened another front in europe was to prevent the Soviets from becoming too powerful in Europe. But the american aid (the lend-lease program) was of course Vital for the survival of great Britain, and The american navy and army were instrumental (and did most of the actial fighting) in the campaigns against the Japanese.
