Uhm, Pragmatist, Hitler never wanted to invade Britain because he hoped as fellow Anglo-Saxons you would see the error of your ways and either remain neutral while he ravaged Europe or join him in controlling it. As the niece od WWII veterans, you show typical Euro ignorance by refering to “paltry” losses of hundreds of thousands. My great uncle landed at and fought through Normandy and was never the same due to shell-shock. Russian losses through the war were due more to their inept and cynical leadership and German brutality to POW’s than anything else. My relatives could also give you a lesson on the sacrifices put on them by war-time rationing here in the states in order to send food and materiel to civilians and military men in your country. Your attitude just proves the old saw that “no good deed goes unpunished”.
