Part of Hitler’s Götterdämmerung, but lost on me.
It was the capital!
Budapest and the West be damned: stop the enemy at the gates(back door).
I have read two books on Berlin(10+ years ago) and need to reread them, but they sadden me.
U.S Plan Orange Battle

How would a battle similar to the scale of Jutland between the U.S Navy and the IJN played out in the prewar years?

Whats a plan orange battle?

Wow. Never heard of that. Is amazing both nations had plans like that!
I would have said Japan, as their surface fleet was 70% of the US one and with no other commitments (the Atlantic and a European coast).
Then they changed things by craftily tipping things in their favour with a sneak attack that should have been more successful.
Mistake seems to be in not commerce raiding and that cost them.
Is funny. Thank you for bringing it up.
I think the Japanese had the invention and guile to get away with it, with a great Admiral to see things through in Yamamoto.
But then they lost the will in reality.
Is too hard to choose a victor.
Except the US did win. -
