semihysterical historians in all their scholarliness attempt to dramatize their subject and i applaud many of them. several history teachers have entranced me by their performances like one on, ancient greece, or another, napoleon, taking an empty, burning moscow. but some have tried to tell the story of why the ... scum ... ooops, sorry .. i mean germans messed up when they tried to bomb out britain instead of invading the british isles.
the ... scum ... ooops, sorry ... i mean the germans really didn't have any intention of invading britain. they wanted the easy way. afterall they could drive through poland because they were still fighting with swords and horses and the terrain is flat, kansaslike. they could bomb and terrorize the netherlands and belgium because those countries had no defenses. france is for lovers and had a trivial defense supposedly impenetrable called the maginot line. any three year old could figure out what the scum ... ooops, sorry .. the germans would do, which was go around it. a no brainer.
when it came to britain .. duh .. they would do what anyone with an 80 iq would do. they took the easy way. just bomb the crap out of them ,, ya, ya, ya .. gut.. they had no intention of invading by sea.
they took europe. pillaged, burned, murdered, and stole everything in sight somewhat like what red ants might do. of course just bombing britain and advancing into russia in the wintertime is not overly bright. so they froze in russia and stayed too long trying to kill british civilians.
they got off easy. after about 50 million people died they went back to beer fests and singing drunken songs.
