Had Nazi Germany somehow managed a resurgence thanks to its secret weapons, a counteroffensive against her war-weary enemies would no doubt have followed. The Red Army had suffered enormous losses in driving to Berlin, and put a large buffer zone between Mother Russia and the Nazis across which it could retreat. But there were some fighting in its ranks who would have had no wish to fall back under any circumstances.

The German mountain warfare establishment had shown great interest in the helicopter and might have led the way in an air assault doctrine. Producing new secret weapons is hard enough, but the men expected to use them still must work out methods for their employment. Even if helicopters and other secret weapons had appeared on the battlefield, there's no guarantee that the soldiers in the front lines would have known how to best employ them.
