10 Myths of the WWII by Peter Hitchens

[wm]

Is the point here that Britain did not alone win the war? Britain played a part in winning the war, yes, but if left to fight alone (with Aus, Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, S African et al support, so not alone really) then would war have been won?

To be heroic you don't have to win, to be heroic is sufficient.
And the only important part was that Britain wouldn't lose the war, the worst case was a peace treaty with Germany.
Britain was waiting for something to happen because it was (slightly) probable that something would happen.
Hitler didn't have such an option.
