(b) In the event of action within the meaning of Article 1 or 2 of the Agreement by a European Power other than Germany, the Contracting Parties will consult together on the measures to be taken in common.
So (a) gives, declare war. (b) gives, lets talk about it.

in Hitler's War David Irving claims that it was Poland's fault that we were attacked in 1939.
I would copypasta that too if I could find the book.:88)

Too much here say, saw it years ago. Hitler Invades England & Russia and wins then Germany and America drop Atom bombs on each other...:rolleyes:

The only thing of real interest was the civil resistant groups.

One would imagine the first order of business in Nazi-occupied Britain would be to clean up the tens of thousands of dead Germans off the beaches, after marching seasick and tired into the murderous fire of a half million pissed-off Englishmen.

Of course, others have already pointed this out.

Don't forget we would have set the sea on fire as well, as I recall from another documentary that made the effort to examine sea lion and yes they would have paid a high price and failed, next Russia.

If a documentary is saying that British propaganda is fact, I wouldn't rely on it too much.

If the British really did have a big oil-pump in the channel that they wre going to set alight, then I guess the IJN really did have a dog that barked morse-code.

EDIT: What people criticising the documentary have to remember is that the Germans were winning the BoB before they started bombing London. If the Germans had established air superiority and captured Dover with Fallschemjager, the Germans would have a safe place to land their amphibious troops. The full might of the Luftwaffe would have been enough to make it a lot easier for the Panzers. If the British had sent warships, the Stukas, now safe from fighter attack, would've destroyed enough of them to protect the transports, while the rest of the Luftwaffe did exactly what it was made for: supporting infantry.

I do recall that there was a recreation where the British won, but that was only done under the assumption that the Germans hadn't gained air superiority. The RN cut off German supplies and the British army surrounded the Heer.

No, they really considered it.

The fact is they didn't, nor did the control The English Channel.

David Irvings books are worth a read, as long as you remember that he is a holocaust denier who hangs around with the neo-Nazi muppets
