Ever stopped to think that by the time the US came into WW2....we had
already won the Battle of Britain and decimated the Luftwaffe who never
recovered....Destroyed Germany's biggest ally Italy, both on Land and at

Africa Corps', and Rommel....destroyed most of the German surface
Fleet....the possibility of an invasion of Britain was virtualy nil by
then....so where's 'the wern't doing so well', bit fit.
