Here is an absolute classic Guardian reader :clap: Could it be jorge?
"The problem with historical war and religious films is that the stories present a narrative that is often untrue and misleading. In the case of WW2, historical evidence proves the UK was instrumental in provoking the war, after Hitler had sought peace and agreement with Poland. Britain interfered and ensured the poles didn't make any agreement with Germany, which resulted in the war. That said, Nolan is a terrific filmmaker and no doubt the film will stand out for technical excellence."
The Allies defeated Hitler. Stalin had the luxuries of being able to trade space for time, the Russian weather, and almost unlimited manpower, but without the material assistance of the allies providing equipment and tying up German forces on other fronts, he would probably have been fúcked.

True. America's involvement was crucial in limiting Russian influence in Europe at the end of the war. The outcome of Germany's war was effectively decided the moment he attacked Russia. It might have taken longer and been messier but the result was only going one way.
As you well know, he was told by his senior naval figures that an attempt to invade us could well have ended with complete disaster. The Kriegsmarine was in no shape to protect an invasion fleet from the Royal Navy, having lost a lot of its destroyers in Norway and, even if the Luftwaffe had had air superiority, the losses the Grand Fleet could have inflicted on an invasion would have been potentially disastrous.
I once read the views of an Admiral about the summer of 1940; he said the Navy was positively licking its lips at the thought of hundreds of Rhine barges being towed at 4kts across the channel. "There would be no need for shooting," he maintained, "we'd simply have sunk them with our wash."
