IMO, most of the credit for winning the war in Europe should go to the
Brits, for having the stamina to hold out for as long as they did.

And particularly (bringing this thread OT) to the lads in the RAF,
and the designers and builders of the Spitfire and Hurricane.

If they
had lost it in '40 or early '41, the world would definitely be a different
place today. As it was, they held out long enough for a) Hitler to invade
Russia ("How to Throw Away Your Resources 101"), and for b) the US to
throw
its industrial might into the fight.


It was a close thing, not helped of course by JFK's
ambassador father & his continual reports of Britain's
imminent collapse.
