Don't see a way we wouldn't establish sea and air superiority in 2-3 weeks. How long to control Europe? Japan?

The United States annihilates the Kriegsmarine within 7 days. The entire Luftwaffe is destroyed within 5--primarily by missile and bombing strikes while the planes are defenseless at airfields.

The Nazi government responds by immediately going into hiding. Following a ground invasion, the U.S. Army occupy the major cities and towns, easily eliminating any Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units who attempt resistance.

The occupation stalls at that point. Because of a desire to avoid U.S. military casualties and rules of engagement to avoid civilian casualties, Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units that escaped destruction escape to the countryside. They rule large swaths of the country as warlords.

In order to rebuild Germany, the United States installs a new government--the Democratic Republic of Germany--a new, nominally independent government, that is to rule Germany. The U.S. military attempts to enlist native Germans in their campaign against the remaining Nazis, but these units are poorly trained and equipped, and unless closely supervised they terrorize the population as much as the outlaw Nazis. Some even launch "yellow on blue" suicide attacks on the U.S. Military personnel that are training and supervising them.

After 15 months, Hitler is captured. He had escaped early in the chaos and had hidden in a small bunker near Schloss Linderhof. The U.S. military discovered that he was aided by numerous figures in the new Democratic Republic of Germany, including close political allies of the new Prime Minister, Hans Fritzsche. To avoid embarrassing the fledgling DRG government, the military covers up this fact.

Hitler is returned to Berlin and tried by the fledgling German legal system. International observers are dismayed by its similarities to the Volksgerichtshof. The judges engage in lengthy shouting matches with the defendant. Hitler is subsequently convicted and hanged.

8 years after the war has begun. Nazi warlords still control many of the rural areas of Germany and corruption in the DRG is endemic.

Your hypo is based on 1940s America (95%+ white country that was what today's people would call white nationalist). If 1940s America had 2018 America's tech sans nukes, Japan would be on their knees within 24 hours.

Japan (they have nuclear reactors for fucks sake, we all know they have nukes), germany, italy? Ok maybe not italy ill give you that one.

And russia will sell nukes to whoever is willing to pay, plus they hate us so there'll be a discount.

Depends on the victory condition. If you mean "secure unconditional surrenders from the Axis powers" then it might be a matter of mere days or weeks based on their being overawed and terrified by demonstrations of U.S. power projection. *Might* It would come down to a battle of the true believers vs. the realists in both regimes, and there were sufficient quantities of true believers both under Tojo and Hitler to create a non-null possibility that there would still be a need for actual land-based conquest by the U.S., particularly in the absence of an atomic bomb.

If you mean "actively occupy German and Japanese territory in a manner sufficient to destroy command functionality and pacify all meaningful resistance" then it would take a few months--people ITT are, as usual, drastically underestimating the logistical burden entailed in taking and holding vast swathes of territory--and then pacifying hostile populations--regardless of the level of technical lethality the power in question possesses.

we could probably fly bombers to all of their major bases and government installations to drop MOABs and bunker busters within a few days. For certain locations, we might need to send over air craft carriers or use allied air bases.

It would take a long time. Years. Our infantry tech is only barley better than WWII and a Wehrmacht unit could hold its own against a US infantry unit. An SS unit could beat it. Our tanks and other armor are far superior to WWII tech, but we don’t have very many tanks compared to a WWII army. Our ground forces are also vastly outnumbered by the German WWII Wehrmacht. Modern air power is great but don’t forget that we were carpet bombing entire German cities in WWII and they held out for years. And don’t forget how uselesss rolling thunder was in Vietnam. So if the hypo is that the US army as it exists today, active duty plus the guard and reserve, gets on a boat and heads over, then we’re nit in good shape. If the hypo is that we can build up a full size WWII army using millennial draftees, then LOL just LOL.

I think your claim about the relative tech difference is pretty easily demonstrably wrong but it's the less interesting point for discussion. I think the more interesting one is whether your Vietnam analogy is appropriate as far as the anticipated level of resistance. For Germany, I don't think it is (the German people were never poised to run some sort of guerrilla campaign out in the countryside); but for Japan it seems apt. There's an argument in here that you almost need nuclear weapons in order to effectively pacify Japan--that anything less would insufficiently "shock and awe." And a larger point that deep ideology in a mass population can be quite dangerous and resource-taxing for an occupying force.

this guy gets it.

the OP is asking how long it would take 1940s America with 2018 tech to knock out Japan. Niggers, we put japs into concentration camps. Americans did not give a fuck about Japs, gooks, or any other bug species. We nuked them twice just to get them to bend the knee and no one in America complained or gave a fuck.

America would just be dropping MOABs on every single Jap city every 5 minutes until they said, "ok we get the point" and raise the white flag.

The deadliest bombing run in WWII was from firebombin Tokyo. Nukes are fun but old fashioned fire bombing gets the job done just fine.

We could drop every bomb we have in our non-nuclear arsenal from our fancy jets and we wouldn’t destroy 5% of WWII Japan’s military targets. Our modern military is designed to kill goat farmers in Afghanistan, not to take down an industrialized and fully mobilized nation.

Literally 100% of the Japanese surface fleet is sunk within 2 hours. All homeland ports, shipyards, and airstrips destroyed within 3 hours. Jap subs stay submerged unless all crew suffocate. Fighters that managed to launch are ignored and left to crash land or run out of fuel

Would that count as victory in the Pacific?
