Don't forget, the British Royal Family was and is of German heritage.

Equally, if the German Luftwaffe had attained air superiority over southern England, Churchill would have been ousted.
There's a lot of if's and maybe's in there Avro,the truth is Winston Churchil was the sole motivator to the British people back in 1940,he lead this country through it's darkest days.

The thought of our own Government appeasing with the Nazi's after Poland is a complete joke,it would'nt have happened.

Like him or not the man was a genius of politics,if the Germans had invaded this country,any leader of this country would've been ousted,period,this I would imagine to most would be a no brainer

It was never likely an invasion of Britian would take place, after the Norway debacle the German High Command were loathed to launch any sea invasion.



At sea the invasion of Norway proved a significant setback. For the Kriegsmarine the campaign led to crippling losses, leaving the Kriegsmarine with a surface force of one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and four destroyers operational. This left the navy weakened during the summer months when Hitler was pursuing plans for an invasion of Britain...

Default and History repeats...

We lost Britain, lets move forward to Moscow...

There is some déjà vu in it.
