If you don't think the krauts were a bad lot, I suggest you take a look at their behaviour whenever they were occupying enemy territory - not to mention their behaviour in South West Africa.

You could have gone on ruling the seas, while leaving continental Europe to the Hun. All would have been well with the world. Russia would probably not have had their revolution, and the French would drink more Alsatian wine. That's it.
