1 If the Germans could have developed jet planes in 1940 and
2 If they could have developed sufficient numbers of these and
3 If these planes could be given significantly greater range than the
early jets had historically and
4 If these new, untried jets could have been made reliable and
5 If sufficient pilots could be trained in their use and
6 If g-force problems can be solved such that high speed can be combined
with manouvrability without pilots blacking out all over the place and
7 If the Germans drop bombs with rather greater accuracy than previously
(being able to drop bombs on Dublin being the classic example. To miss a
target is unfortunate. To miss a target city is poor. To miss a country
is - spectacular) and
8 If the British fail to kick start their own jet programme (that nice
Mr Whittle would like to see some remains of jets forced down - or do we
assume that no German jet ever suffers any malfunction over Britain) and
9 If the Germans can get together the resources to churn these things
out and
10 If the british never learn (through Ultra, for example) what is
coming up and
11 If British morale under bombing weakens (unlike British morale under
air attacks to which there was no real defence in 1944, namely the
V1/V2; or German morale under Allied bombing in 1943/44, to which they
had no real defence)

If all these things take place, then Britain may accept terms.

Personally, I think alien space bats are more plausible.
