Well, I like to emphasise the Royal Navy aspect as most people miss it. The Battle of Britain could have been "lost" - with air cover becoming scrappy over the the channel - and the Germans still wouldn't have had a prayer of getting clear sea-roads.
I mean no disrespect to the "few", but it was the Royal Navy that allowed Churchill to famously remark that "We look forward to an German invasion - and so do the fishes".
Good point, well made.
Convoy HX 84.... HMS Jervis Bay the German surface raider Admiral Sheer and the aviation fuel tanker San Demitrio.
Thats what us Brits are all about I would have thought you colonials had learnt that by now
