And where was the USA in all of this by the way? I seem to recall that WW2 started in September of 1939 as far as Canada, France and Britain were concerned. Uncle Sam didn't get involved until 1942.

Ever hear of lend-lease? Ever hear of the US Navy tracking German ships and reporting their location to the Brits so the brits could attack them before the US officially entered the war? Ever hear of the US supplying England with american-made weaponry, while "officially" claiming to be neutral? Ever hear of the US shipping Canadian-produced military material from Hampton Roads to England in US-flagged ships because the British and Canadian flagged ships leaving from Canadian ports were being sunk? Yeah, the US wasn't involved officially until December 8, 1941, but for being "neutrals", we sure as shit did a LOT of stuff to help England out.
Ever hear of the Sitzkreig or "phony war", where the Brits and French sat on their asses while Hitler attacked their allies? Chamberlain was most certainly in charge when the partition of Czechoslavakia went down. He effectively sold Germany the Sudatenland in the hopes that it would appease Hitler, effectively feeding his friends to the tiger in the hopes that the tiger would eat England last. History has judged Chamberlain, and he ranks up there with Petain and Quisling. Your attempted historical revisionism is laughable.
