  • thy didnt because Britian was well on the way to reppeling a german invaison and we where winning in north africa
  • yes and no. No: Churchill won the homefront in britain. The british people had been going through months of blitzkrieg and their morale was both at the bottom but as high as ever. The allies (thats the uk, new zealand, ghurkas and australians) were coming up through north africa repelling Rommel in the dessert, and that was before pattons disaster at kasserine pass. North africa was the proof that american armies thought they could win against a formidable army with sheer power. How wrong they were. Montgommery knew Rommel has too many cards up his sleeve. Yes: but that was far from winning the war. Allied forces always had more resources than germany and italy. Yes they had foreign soldiers (such as polish SS) but that did not count for much in the end as many were simply forced to fight in these division or be killed. The Us coming into the war simply sped things up. My answer to the question as a result is: Yes the US did help win the war, but not save britain. There is one vital day that the war was lost for germany. That day is when Hitler started operation Babarossa by invading Russia and at the same time opending a double front which was Hitlers worst mistake. After the invasion of Russia, along with the loss of the Battle of Britain, Hitler wrote Britain off his invasion list. He would never of been able to take it. History has always shown that invading an island as big as that will fail. And yes, there were american pilots in the RAF but there were also New Zealanders, Australians, Polish pilots etc etc etc. Oh, and one other thing, the Battle of Britain was won before there was a US force capable of fighting Germany in england. Hitler, or lets say Goering, lost england the day the luftwaffe stopped their bombing runs over london and not when the US started pouring troops into the UK in preperation for operation overlord, or nowadays know as D-day.
  • NO By Dec 7th 1941 it was clear that Hitler couldn't subdue Britian. The RAF had won the battle of Britian, and Hitler was now occupied in Russia anyway. Britian couldn't invade Europe for a long time without US help, and if they did, it might not work. BUT The North African campaign was mostly a British campaign. The 8th Army could have beaten the Axis in that theator with little or no US help. Even without the US-made tanks, which where only a minority anyway, the result here would be the same. The war might end with Russia contolling Germany though. Britian might have invaded France and liberated most of it by 1945, if the events on teh eastern front stayed the same.
