The battle of El Alamein.

@MokomaSusi
Yes, supplies from the USA were important.
The USA did a good thing by sending England supplies.
Lease- Lend was also a good thing, and the RAF Eagle squadron was also a good thing. All important stuff to remember.

@2210ethan
.... also Australian,New Zealand,Indian and the Free French fighting with the British.

@Ramadl59
The Commonwealth and Gaullists, absolutely.
I was just talking about US stuff because that was the subject of MokomaSusi's post.
We could even add the Poles etc who flew in the battle of Britain, everyone deserves recognition.

guvnor-jack tar was ruling the waves, and no bloody jerry was a match for tommy atkins in battle. thats your answer in the queens english mate-jerries aint as good as the tommies!

@Ramadl59
Annihilated?
Like July- September 1940, right?

@2210ethan....YES that's right,annihilated. Britain had lost it's colonies in Asia by the Japs,and Germany was unstoppable in Europe before she became bogged down in Russia. They should have concentrated on North Africa.Without U.S. support Africa/Middle East would have been lost to the British as well.

@Ramadl59
Actually dude, Japan didn't declare war on England until December 1941. By this time, there was no threat of German invasion.

My bad

@Ramadl59
Not at all.

@MokomaSusi
US support was definitely vital for England, just as the English refusal to surrender, to go on fighting, was vital for civilisation.
