Well that gave me a good giggle Bobby As for the money - 'we' in turn - helped Germany financially to rebuild - funny ol world ain't it
The U.S. was supplying food and materials almost from the very beginning, and our ships were being sunk supplying Britain in 1940. We were not supplying troops, but we did have "Lend-Lease" going about then. If Hitler had attempted a serious invasion, it probably would have succeeded but at great cost. He had a bit of soft spot for the "English" and hoped to have a cease-fire before he invaded Russia...but he failed in that due to British persistence...and Winston Churchill. If Chamberlain had still been PM, it would have been a different matter.
They also did to with the NAZI lot up in the war upto Jan 1945 think his name was Bush the father of a POTUS in the Eighties who lent money threw the Swiss up to Jan 1945
Think you will find in 1940 ALL people from Commonwealth were classed as British changed in the 70s The Poles god bless them after their country was destroyed in 10 days fled with their aircrafts to the UK as did the French
My point @Tom Galty : Without explaining and defining there may be different interpretations or even misunderstandings.
In the summer and fall of 1940, German and British air forces clashed in the skies over the United Kingdom, locked in the largest sustained bombing campaign to that date. A significant turning point of World War II, the Battle of Britain ended when Germany’s Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force despite months of targeting Britain’s air bases, military posts and, ultimately, its civilian population. Britain’s decisive victory saved the country from a ground invasion and possible occupation by German forces while proving that air power alone could be used to win a major battle. On June 17, 1940, the defeated French signed an armistice and quit World War II. Britain now stood alone against the power of Germany’s military forces, which had conquered most of Western Europe in less than two months. But Prime Minister Winston Churchill rallied his stubborn people and outmanoeuvred those politicians who wanted to negotiate with Adolf Hitler. But Britain’s success in continuing the war would very much depend on the RAF Fighter Command’s ability to thwart the Luftwaffe’s efforts to gain air superiority. This then would be the first all-air battle in history. https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/battle-of-britain-1
You said it better than me We also bombed the invasions barges as they were loading invasion troops all along the West coast of Europe to invade us. Quote...… For the Blenheims of 2 Group, the priorities would now be: the attacking of barges and small craft on the canals and in the ports of Holland and Belgium, the continued daytime disturbance of targets attacked in Germany by night, and raids against concentrations of aircraft at aerodromes in north-west France and
