The US shortened the war in Europe; of that there is no doubt.

However, oxocubes, your stance implies that the UK would have eventually succumbed to Nazi Germany without US intervention. My view is that the UK might well not have launched a credible invasion force, but would still have been able to defend the islands agaisnt a German invsasion.

Who knows, on the 'what if' scale, we'd probally still be fighting a geurilla war against Nazi Europe.
