"I do believe that had it not been for The Blitz, that over time more Brits would have favored making the deal with Hitler, and probably would have voted out Churchill, in favor of a leader who favored making the deal."

Do you mean, if Hitler had exercised self restraint, and not returned bomber-blow for bomber-blow against Britain?

Do you mean, if Hitler had not planned for Operation Sealion, or had abandoned his efforts to starve Britain through U-boat sinkings?

And the chances of all these things were more or less than a snowball's in h*ll, do you think?

That was my point, Hitler made a big mistake, he listened too much to Von Ribbentrop. With France defeated, England wasn’t going to be enough of a threat, they were already pretty much neutralized where there wasn’t anything they could do to stop the Germans from pursuing their plans in the East.

I also believe that once Germany did attempt to invade England, America gets into the war, and so now that can of worms opens up.
