Please do not introduce logic or fact into this discussion expat.

Indeed. That is not its purpose. We are conducting crucial emergency surgery in removing atW's head from deep in his arse where it is firmly lodged.

It will only confuse AtW

The last time the Germans tried to do things on their own was during the war, and we trounced them.

If Hitler did not attack USSR I think Britain would have no choice but to surrender few years after Dunkirk - the only way it worked was because Hitler got involved heavy with USSR and almost all forces were there. I think Rommel pretty clearly demonstrated that German land forces are not easily trounced, on the other hand I think if Britain surrendered after Dunkirk when it could get good terms then Hitler would have, in my view, successfully invaded USSR.

So I give credit to British stubborness not to agree to make peace after Dunkirk.

mostly correct, except thats Britains surrender was not inevitable. Britain survived the continental system in the Napoleonic era due to a successful 'blue water' policy, if they could survive the uboat threat, and any air threat, there is no reason why they could not stand alone indefinately, against the nazis, using a similar policy.

That would have left Adolf with one giant problem. a bulldog attached to his left leg, a commie attached to his right leg, and a sleepy USA wondering when it was ok to kick him in between.

Of course, Adolf decided not to wait. And the rest is history......
