Lol LG. I thought my ideas might be able to work. The thing is, how can Britain maintain those colonies if Germany cannot get to them? At some time, they would want indepence. Plus, though the Americans were helping the Brits, it was barely anything. The major help that the Brits had was the food coming from America. Argueably, that kept the nation going.

So it would end up as a stalemate against the Germans for the Brits? And the Horton 229; perhaps I might be overstating its capabilies, but there is no denying that the Brits did not have anything to match up to it. Even the Meteor jet the Brits were developing would have been outmaneureved by the Horton.

So perhaps, the Brits would have not lost, but they definately would have not won. The Germans would eventually be able to develop enough capabilites for their aircraft to be able to outfly the Brits and down the bombers heading into Germany. Perhaps this would get them into the negociating table and a compromise might be worked out by both sides.

The reference to the "Second Front" actually came from National Geographic. One of the Russian Soldiers who fought in the war was telling them about his experiences in a program I watched a year or so back.

I see, the Rocketry program was prioritised. It didn't go anywhere would be a slight understatement. It was successful enough to be able to be launched at the UK and land and damage some buildings. With better info about where the V2s landed, they could be able to adjust them to hit central London.

There is no denying the Eastern Front was a huge drain on German resources. Without it, the Germans would be able to continue developing new technologies which the Brits could not always keep up with. So I guess a war with only Britain remaining would make Germany technologically ahead of its rivals, but it would not win the war and force the people to negociate with the British - who would look forward to being able to rebuild their homes.
