Like I said, the only thing needed to take the Brits out would be a blockade....
Which you tried ,and indead failed to do. The U boat fleet came very close ,but not close enough.
Don't believe your war movies to much...a Germany without having to concentrate on Russia and you without the help you got from the US....just be fair and you would say so yourself..no chance!
I dont argue with this point one bit. It was the world rising up to stop the nazis that cracked the nut. Still we did hold out pretty much alone(with dribs and drabs of allies) and did indeed kick rommels arse all the way back to berlin.
There is nothing shameful about it....your island IS brave but very limited if you would have to stand all on your own!
Thats the problem the hun never understood,"we" would never have to stand alone,we new we could count on the help of the Dominions and the help from our other,european allies/fellow travlers was an added bonus and one that every educated briton is eternaly greatfull for.
