I dont know guys. yes the English had a fantastic navy but had almost no airforce in fact the only reason the airforce survived was becuase Hitler started bombing cities. In theory Germany didnt need to invade they just needed to starve Britain into submission and this would off been possible with the u boats, and more then 5 thousand planes to bomb the navy if he hadnt launched Barbarossa.
In fact Richard
The day Barbarossa was lauched Churchill clapped his hands and told his cabinet......" England is saved Hitler has just invaded Russia and lost the war!"
But who knows........what if's dont really mean much so i guess we could all go back and forth.
But i respect everybodies opinion, they are all excellent point!!!
