Hitler holds WW2 off until he has developed stealth technology, superior radar, the A-bomb, and thinks out his battle plans- resulting in a protracted war. However, impatient as he is, He is on the verge of invading Poland in 1939 when he is assassinated by Heinrich Himmler and the SS. The tensions of the 1930's melt away, while Poland becomes a modern industrialized nation. Himmler, as Führer, puts top priority on projects such as the Me 262, Missiles, and the atom bomb. German Naval rearmanment continues, increasing the Kreigsmarine by ten Battleships, 100 destroyers, 800 U-boats by 1950. The Atom Bomb is developed by 1947, V-3 stage rockets by 1944, and the first German aircraft carrier is launched in 1941. The West Wall is completed and is second to only the Maginot line in strength.
