In August 1941 Churchill transferred from the HMS POW to the USS Augusta to meet Roosevelt in Placentia Bay. WI a lurking U boat thinking it was the POW had sunk the eminently torpedoable 9000 ton cruiser by mistake, with both leaders and their aides drowning.
Hitler offers an immediate profuse apology to the US, whilst gloating at Churchill's death.
I think VP Wallace would accept the apology.
Without Churchill's rodomontade, the fire is totally taken out of the British belly, and Lord Halifax reaches a deal with Hitler. Pearl Harbour is delayed. Russia falls in early 1942.

Even assuming that, what about the remaining 99.999% of American people ?Von Schadewald wrote:I think VP Wallace would accept the apology.
To say nothing of that most extraordinary idea, Britain staying in the war only because of Churchill's existence.
