No, The Americans Did Not Save Us... From The Nazis.
I recently noted a comment; that if it wasn't for the Americans... we in Great Britain would all have been speaking German.

The reason Hitler never invaded Great Britain was simply because, try as he might, and after throwing everything he had at us, he could not gain air superiority. 2,698 German aircrew died.
The Battle of Britain was our finest hour.
Between 10th July and 31st October 1940... The RAF (Royal Air Force), defended our great nation from the tyranny of fascism. 2,353 British pilots, fought alongside 574 pilots from the British Commonwealth and other nations.
544 RAF pilots lost their lives during the period of the Battle... for the duration of which, The United States of America, was officially neutral.
Nine brave Americans volunteered and took part and can be counted as belonging, to 'The Few'... to whom we are grateful.
