But Britain probably would have fallen if the US hadn't stepped in when we did. If we hadn't been sending supply ships to Britan even before we officially entered the war it would have fallen much earlier. Once again correct me if I'm wrong, and sorry about thread jacking  . |
You're wrong in just about every way.
Hitler could not take out the RAF.
You know, "never in the field of human conquest has so much been owed by so many to so few"
The few being the RAF.
Hitler needed to cross the channel. He couldn't do that with the RAF all over him. And then, even if he knocked out the RAF, the RN would have had something to say about any channel crossing.
