In message , Ken S. Tucker writes I was told the Nazi's could have easily taken England, no sweat. In the same way that the Japanese could have conquered the US in five days in 1941 if they'd only bothered to try? (Land in California, commandeer weapons and transport from the cowardly fleeing populace, race the bad news to Washington, impose Imperial hegemony, declare victory while forcibly recruiting all white females between seven and seventy for "recreational services"?) Now that is funny. There is more military of that time in California then anywhere else in the world. I think whoever was telling you this, was pulling your leg so hard it's still out of its socket, and they're still telling the story of "some clueless guy called Tucker" who didn't just swallow the hook but took the line, and the sinker, and tried to eat the rod as well. A determined Germany would have eaten England alive, but for massive war materials and massive military direct aid. Hitler actually admired England and did make an effort to make them an ally. Churchill double crossed him when he usurped meeting with Rudolph Hess. That was a double cross much more heinous as Hitlers double cross of Stalin. England and Israel are 2 countries to never ever trust. |

What saved England is Hitler didn't write up an invasion in Mein Kampf, if he had a pencil and added footnotes, Brits would be goose-stepping and the Scots would be wearing underwear. Ken A country can have a big army or a big navy but not both. (Britain is still paying for the Napoleonic Wars when she tried having both.) To invade Britain a country needs both. Germany had a big army but only a medium sized navy. With war in France, Scandinavia and later USSR Germany could not deploy a large number of troops against Britain for long. Germany's air force was not significantly larger than Britain's so it could not be used as an equaliser. The Empire gave Britain a big advantage in man power and resources that could not be bombed. Once the UK had chosen to fight a long war to even draw with Britain Germany would have had to give up its plans to conquer eastern Europe. There is no easy German victory there. Andrew Swallow You are dreaming. Very few War Historians believe that the English Lion would not succumb in the event Germany had turned to England rather then Russia. |

Sticking to WW2 the Nazi's violation of their nonaggression pact with the Soviets is a prime example. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

"Alexander" wrote in message ... A determined Germany would have eaten England alive, but for massive war materials and massive military direct aid. Well, assuming they could get there, which they couldn't... Hitler actually admired England and did make an effort to make them an ally. But the UK (Not England) reckoned he wasn't to be trusted. Wise people... Churchill double crossed him when he usurped meeting with Rudolph Hess. I don't suppose you've any proof at all for that remarkable statement. England and Israel are 2 countries to never ever trust. But, but, but, aren't they the same country run by the same people? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I think the source is reliable, my Old Boy was a WW2 vet spook who had more access to info than any historian will ever get, and explained it to me. That said, I don't want to play 'what if' games, ok. But I'll let you in on a secret, the Brits had thousands of cannons after Dunkirk, available for Nazi photo recon, made of wood logs, that's all the Brits had was bluff, but I think it was good in any case, the croats figured it was real. The Brits, had a few rifles left after Dunkirk, 2 or 3. Paint a few hundred barges black and gliders too, move out at 10 or 11 pm, and by 5 am the king is being raped in the ass by Nazi's. As I said, no sweat. But what ****un good is the that Island to Hitlers greater scheme, nothing, but we know now he made a strategic military error, and as Chruchill promised his bombers burned the black heart of Germany, that was very unpleasant to all who were involved. I request a polite response, as I gave. Ken |

My my, someone on the BIGOT list and who had access to ULTRA. That's about a dozen people below general officer rank. Shouldn't be too hard to identify him.

This being a naval group and all... Oh yes, and assuming they do land. How on earth do they get over the Military Canal in a night? -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
