Allied Britain was an integral part of our effective prosecution of the war in the history that stands.

Britain was an important staging area for attacks on Germany itself, and yes they were an integral part of the allied force. That's why we wouldn't have let Hitler conquer Britain, before he established roots there like he did in Europe we would have brought the calvary in, from Iceland and Ireland, even if Roosevelt had to lie us into it. It's all hypothetical, but I think contingency plans had been made for such a possibility.

Btw, great screen name, that's a game I can play forever.

The only contingency plans I have
read about being made for the fall
of England was trying to get the
Royal Nay to come into our ports
and even the thought of sinking
ships to prevent them form falling
into German hands.
As for contingency plans for the Calvary.
Got to have the Calvary to send them.

RE post 28: We designed the B-36 bomber early in the war to bomb Germany in the event England fell. It would have been a ugly mess with Germany in control of England. The B-36 was BUILT after WW2 to deal with Russia.
