No doubt involving a complete rewrite of history to show the murricans as the sole participants and sole winners of the War...
Not the sole, but I think we have to agree, the major participants and winners. The Brits stopped Adolph winning (Battle of Britain), but couldn't have won it without the Americans. Who of course couldn't have invaded Europe without the unsinkable aircraft carrier, which wouldn't have been there if...circular argument.

I've often thought that once the B17, P51 and Glenn Miller were in the UK, Adolph should have quietly given up..there was no way he was going to win.

Before I get flamed, I'm as patriotic Brit as anyone, and readily acknowledge the contributions of other nations in the struggle.
