Yorick you should remember also how the Battle of Stalingrad is called the "Turning Point" in WW2. Germany lost something like half a million men on the eastern front (at least, perhaps more, i havent looked it up). Had hitler not turned against the Soviet Union, then he would have had alot more men and equipment to use against Britain.
I do not deny that the British fought strongly and valiantly, but I do think that they are just a little over-rated in their influence on the overall success of the war.
