Fair enough point but I would say if you look at the history of the war a British loss prior to US involvement is the scenario that would have most likely led to a German victory which was the premise of the flaptail's question. Once the US was involved it is hard to imagine a situation where Germany would have achieved a clear victory. Maybe a clear cut victory in the East might have given Germany the chance for an armistice but they could never win against the US production capabilities.
