In 1940, you ditched all your equipment on the beaches of Dunkirk and
had little more than the Home Guard to protect you from invasion.


Which begs the obvious question. . where were they then? Surely not so
dumbly incompetent as to look a gift horselike thatin the mouth?


Your
armor was garbage just like your ships and the Kreigsmarine only
needed around 300 U-boats to choke your little nation to death WITHOUT
a need to invade.


Which begs the obvious question. . . Why didn't they then? And bear in
mind we are talking about a time when the UK was paying for everything it
received from the US, no lend lease at this time. . .
