Sigh - that happened 70+ years ago and you must remember that the allied victory was a joint victory of American manufacturing, British tenacity (attacks in North Africa and Greece distracting the Axis) and Soviet blood

Germany would NEVER have invaded England. Yes operation sea lion was a plan, but Hitler not his generals abandoned it because even a crazed Hitler saw that invading England was a horrible idea.

Hitler actually wanted peace with England ! He hoped that Churchill would be happy to rule the seas and Hitler the land. All in all in a differwent time line where America stayed out and didn't enact land lease Germany would have had a much easier time with Russia. In turn the battle of britain might still have been lost but another campaign might have started and after a long war of attrition England would eventually be forced to a cease fire of sorts. No they'd never surrender to Germany and form a kinda vichy England, like what happened to France. But an end to hostilities would be inevitable.

This is not to say that the American role was not critical - it was -- but one cannot boil down VE just to one state

Well Cronos, everything you wrote wouldn’t fit on a poster board, would it? As for your “sigh”, I wasn’t being technical, I was pointing out that people have forgotten. You can downplay the significance of our role in England but I will always disagree because my own blood was stationed there and flying bombing runs into Germany. Sigh, indeed.
