Britain and France didn't think they had anything to worry about either as the Germans were invading Czechoslovakia, then Poland, then Denmark and Norway... Where do you think they'd be if soldiers didn't fight and die to stop the German invasion?
Surely, if they had not been stopped by the Soviets in the East and Allied forces in the West, we would be living very different lives today. Especially if you were a minority as was so abundantly clear by the mass execution of Polish, Jewish and Russian populations unfortunate enough to have succumbed to German invasions.
It should also be noted, that the Germans were developing bombs with the range and destructive capabilities to reach both the United States and Canada toward the end of the war. Bombs that would have caused massive casualties. They were not going to stop at Britain.
So thank you to all the soldiers who fought and died in defence of our values and way of life.
