If invaded it would have been anhillated. the Germans would have less resistance in Britain then in Denmark.

Do you know anything of the sacrafices those men and women made? If you want to go by you silly percentage, than the UK would be at around 1%. Not .1%. And that is of the overall population in 1939. Using the same numbers the United States is at .34%, but as you say the Uk was only an overratted minor ally. Puh. I wonder, without a very large Island that a very important Ally controlled, where the Normandy invasion is staged from? Florida? Why post a bomb like this anyways? Only Secondary roles? I wonder whos navy it was that fought the Italians in the Med up untill 42?
