    Actually, for some reason (repect for Britian's historical empire perhaps) Hitler admired Great Britain. He preferred to make peace with Britian rather than destroy or capture it. Only country I am aware of that he offered peace terms to in WW2. He would have been content to rule Europe and let the British continue to rule their overseas empire.

    I remember an interview with Adolf Galland who said Hitler was not keen on a war with Britain as for your second point I heard Hitler would have put three divisions of Fallschirmjager our way to help us. Orso he would come to Britain's aid if we were threaten, the question is how true was that?

    Richard, one of the problems with Hitler was that he said one thing one day and another tomorrow. He said the most bombastic things with no substance at all. Impossible to make policy based on the utterances of this fellow.

    Agreed. :)

    After reading Hitler's Table Talk this man said some very strange things. Just another example of a screw loose some where in that rats nest of a brain he had.

    And what he said in Mein Kampf proves that he actually respected English;
    "England has always had the armament which she needed. She always fought with those weapons which were necessary for success. She sent mercenary troops, to fight as long as mercenaries sufficed; but she never hesitated to draw heavily and deeply from the best blood of the whole nation when victory could be obtained only by such a sacrifice. And in every case the fighting spirit, dogged determination, and use of brutal means in conducting military operations have always remained the same."

    I would expect that not only Germany would be worried, i could see where Western Europe could ban together with Germany in the lead and become one large Anti-Communist International Organization. And if Western Europe is brought together under the expansionist Soviet Union with their version of Lebensraum, I can assure you Hitler would not care.
