    Germany wanted an Empire to the East, and had no designs on Britain.

    Britain might not have liked being next to Nazi Germany, but then wasn't thrilled about its position in the Cold War either. Add to this not being bankrupt and not bombed it seems a price worth paying. Nazi Germany would have likely collapsed given time just as the USSR did.

    Slowly giving up the Empire and not a rushed withdrawal would have hopefully meant more New Zealand / Australia / Canada outcomes as opposed to many that have been seen especially in Africa.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    Isn't this off topic?

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
