What If Hitler Had Successfully Invaded Russia? | Germany Invades Britain & Dominates Europe

By the summer of 1941 Nazi Germany is in near total control of continental Europe. A year earlier, the German blitzkrieg swept through Belgium, the Netherlands and France, and forced the British Expeditionary Force to evacuate at Dunkirk.

What followed was a brutal, drawn out strategic defeat, one which was perhaps the beginning of Hitler's downfall. But what if Hitler had defeated Russia?
