Acting several times more disgracefully.

Typical disingenuous, you liked very much the credit bubble, that is why you are crying for it to come back. The nice results of it not the present payback time.

Now that is shown once again that after all in the long run we are all not dead and we have to pay you choose to blame the banks your "compagnons de route".

With a defeatist attitude like in Asia maybe. But then Britain would be certainly turned into another Yugoslavia. Conquered but not defeated. I am assuming that there would not be an invasion of Soviet Union in case of Sea Lion.

I pretty much doubt that if Britain would have been conquered it would have seen the same situation as in Yugoslavia. It would have been much like in the western countries occupied by Germany. I don't want to belittle what happened back then in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark or Norway but they pretty much got back to "normal" in the years after they got occupied, something that can't be said from Yugoslavia with the Partisan war going on there. Of course there was the Resistance in France, but that can't be compared to the Partisans in Yugoslavia.

All this is mood anyway because speaking about a succesful invasion of Britain in 39/40 is mood to start with.

Sorry Dili but if you assume that then you simply do not understand Hitler's raison d'être and what WWII was all about.

More hindsight....... We know they got worse, and of they had known they would have acted differently.

Hitler would have postponed the war against Soviet Union if Luftwaffe had successes against RAF. If you say that Hitler wanted to take on Soviet Union i won't disagree, if you say that Hitler want to take on Soviet Union necessarily in 1941 then i will.

In the frame of mind of appeasers you can call it hindsight, in frame of mind of others it isn't. Allies keep feeding the biggest shark.
In fact that was against the traditional behavior of British Diplomacy for centuries, don't let a powerful country appear. If they can't find one outside Germany they need to find one inside.

I think there was a will to resist at in England that lacked in other countries. IMO Churchill wasn't an oddity. And there was also the whole Commonwealth as a moral backup.

Ok, I apologise that I know very little about Switzerland. You still have not answered the question though....

Please don't turn this into a personal attack. A total sense of humour failure by the look of things.
I hate credit, and apart from my house, I save up for items and then buy them. I give as little of my hard earned cash to banks.
And what exactly does 'in the long run we are all not dead etc' actually have to do with the discussion?

I'm too much of a gentleman to rise to this type of bear-baiting and thinly disguised personal attack ( again ).

"in the long run we will be all dead" is the build up to debt by neo-Keyenesian mantra that debts are to not be a worry... then changes to try to blame the banks or other scapegoat when the debt bill appears when there isn't money printing machine around. If a big part of economy is build on debt and didn't produced enough wealth to pay it is logical that when credit rarefies that part of economy based solely on its existence disappears and with it the jobs.

Nice try Countess :)
How can something from 1939 can be compared to something from 1945?
About being in a tank, i think i'll prefer to be infantry.
