It would not have been pretty, but useing the French as a basis of comparison is hardly fair, is it?

The Battle of Britain was decisive because Britain stood alone against the Germans on the Western Front. At the time the Battle of Britain was being fought (July through October 1940) you may be suprised that companies like General Motors, Ford, standard oil and many more fine American companies were still doing business with Hitler's Germany.

It does not suprise me at all, it is historical fact. Disney and Ford were known to be Nazi supporters. As I said before, the Battle of Britain was not decisive because Germany lacked the ability to exploit the situation if they had defeated Britain in the air. It was a heroic and epic struggle, but it did not decide the outcome of the war as did the three battles mentioned above.

Nope, Lend Lease to the rescue again! The Russians didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of once Barbarossa caught them with their drawers around their ankles...
