  • In this AI-only scenario we'll take a look at a WW2 timeline in which all of the major European powers, with the United States, were ready for the war. They have max factories, infrastructure and a fully mobilized population that is ready for recruitment into the war effort. What ensued was a massive conflict with equally massive casualties in both military and [est] civilian population.

      You see here the effect the Axis get the enough oil fields and resrouces - which is here the case with all the south east parts of europe and around turkey they was able to hold. In reality ww2 would have run very different if they was not stopped in sight of the oil fields around the black sea. It was really somewhat close. So, be careful when people tell you today the nazis was complete incompetent and the war lost from the start. It was far from that. Its more like they had a real chance but their incompetence lost it at some point. As someone from europe you should have in mind that as a side effect the win of the oil fields for germany had brought the nuke over europe. They was build and planed for exactly that szenario. A little detail in history we should be thankful for.

    So, because the comintern was at war with the allies due to Turkey joining them, I think that probably resulted in the Axis victory in the end. As we can see at one point the comintern and Allies together had basically most of the northern european regions including most of france, however because they were at war they didn't put their full resources against the Axis which allowed them to hold on, hold on so long in fact that the italians got enough war experience to become competent, resulting in a counter-attack in the caucasus depriving the soviets of their biggest source of oil, which happened just after the soviets and Axis together pushed D-Day out of Europe, resulting the axis being able to fully focus on the soviet union which couldn't use planes nor tanks or vehicles of any kind really anymore (and were possibly also down on equipment seeing as they were easily the weakest of the 3 factions here in terms of industry, never breaching 1000), which after it was all done allowed the axis to focus on Operation Sealion once Russia was effectively under their control...
    So basically all you need to do as the Axis to win ww2 is make it last so horrendously long and be so bloody the italians actually become competent
