According to a new study conducted by a team of historians, Adolf Hitler could have won World War II if he had taken a different approach. The researchers found that there were several alternative strategies that Hitler could have used to come out on top.
Here are the top ten ways Hitler should have won World War II:
Befriend Churchill's Dog As it turns out, Churchill's dog was the key to winning the war. If Hitler had managed to befriend the famous pooch, Churchill would have been putty in his hands.
Outsource the Army Hitler's army was no match for the combined forces of the allied powers. However, if he had outsourced his soldiers to a cheaper, more efficient workforce, he could have saved a bundle and still won the war.
Hire Better Spy Services Hitler's intelligence network was infamous for its failures. With better spies on his side, he could have avoided surprise attacks and gained a strategic advantage.
Become a Vegetarian If Hitler had given up meat and gone vegetarian, he may have been able to convince the Allies to lay down their arms in the name of animal rights.
Build More Castles Hitler loved his castles, but he didn't build enough of them. With more impressive fortresses dotting the countryside, he may have intimidated the Allies into submission.
Recruit Superheroes If Hitler had recruited a team of superheroes, like Captain Germany and Iron Klaus, he could have easily defeated the Allies on the battlefield.
Use More Troop Transport Bicycles Hitler's army was known for being motorized, but if he had used more bicycles to transport his troops, he could have saved on gas and won the war through sheer pedal power.
Form an Alliance with Aliens If Hitler had convinced an alien race to ally with him, the Allies would have been powerless to stop their otherworldly technology and weaponry.
Create a Secret Weapon from Cheese Cheese might seem like an odd choice for a secret weapon, but Hitler could have easily utilized the power of dairy to take down the enemy. Perhaps a cheese bomb or a cheese-based gas attack?
Win the Hearts and Minds of the Enemy If Hitler had taken a gentler approach and won the hearts and minds of the enemy, he may have been able to avoid war altogether. All he needed was a little love.
While these alternative strategies may seem ridiculous, they are no more absurd than some of the actual decisions made by Hitler during the war. Who knows, maybe if he had tried a few of these tactics, history could have turned out very differently.
