  1. 'totally underprepared'? 'if it hadn't been for the English Channel, Britain like France would've been overrun by Nazi Germany'? There is no sense in that. In 1940, Britain had the biggest navy in the world, and the world's most advanced air defence system. The Germans were never going to get to the British mainland.

  4. '18,000 French died so us Brits could escape' And also, over 100,000 Frenchmen escaped, with British help. 'GB who lost in Norway France and Crete and Greece and everywhere else until we worked out how to fight Germany' But throughout that period, Britain was still catching up with German war preparations, and the Axis had the benefit that any agressor has, in choosing were the battles will take place. In each of the places you have noted, British sea power lessened the effect of those German victories. And in the case of Norway, the German navy suffered such severe losses that it could offer no help in any German attempt to invade Britain. 'same with Russia Germany wiped the floor with them in 1941' But the German achieved what? There was no outright victory, and they were left with a 2,000 mile front, 1,000 miles from their homeland, having sustained a million casualties in six months. 'France made the mistake of being totally defensive I mean if they had attacked Germany during the invasion of Poland they could of beat them before things got out of hand' But the Polish campaign was over in five weeks. What was to be done in five weeks, with the French mobilization taking longer than expected.
