@thebritishww2man I dont think so Soviet Union was enougth to take them out and well would mean a Red Europe that would be beyond nigthmare. With exception of UK and Ireland. You dont need to apologice we all have different ideas I just that tough that if UK stand for something wasnt summaraly executing part of its elite. No offense was taken I am not even british.

@ImperialGuard9001 If we hadn't inerveaned then Hitler proberly would have contorle of the world and there would be alot more that 6 million Jews dead if we hadn't got involved. And I was very worked up when I wrote the comment and thats why I said "why didn't they shoot them" and I take that comment back now and are sorry for any offence caused.

Now the outcome of all WWII would be different withoud UK in the war in Europe at least there will be no US either and while Germany would attack USSR withoud doubt since that was always the plan and the whole Eastern Front would be a lot bloodier I think Germany and allies still woulnt be able to beat them with their far superior manpower and resources USSR would still win the war but of course that means that almost all Europe would be in Soviet Hands.

@thebritishww2man Because they were still people! Would you shoot all Communists during Cold War bor being Communists?! That would be a warcrime. Also if they had their way Britain would indeed have peace in WWII since Germany never realy wanted a war with UK if they left them alone in Europe Germany would not intervene in Britain HItler was actualy admirator of British this is why he always try for peace with Britain and why he left the British evacute in Dunkirk

@thebritishww2man Wasn't fighting againt people who just shot political opponents the whole point of the war? So why shoot people who had the right to voice a contrary opinion - ie. consciencious objectors.
