Its a country that I do not know a lot about. I get the impression that it very poor compared to other European countries. Am I wrong?

Steamtank we didn't even have to enter the war. It was at our discretion whether to enter the war but we did because of poland. Up until then Hitlers main aim was to go eastwards...he didn't have any interest in Britain.

I've read another book a bit like that called 'what if', essays on if various events in history had turned out differently and their implications. Like if Britain haden't been forced out of the US or if Alexander The Great had died prematurely

the germans always saw the english as their worthy neighbours, and many britains were highly flattered by that.

(sorry for the numerous posts!)
you've also got to remember though that even though there was a feeling germany had been treated harshly after the treaty of versaille, we weren't a nation of kraut lovers!
my grandfather was on the pier on the east coast when some warships appeared and started shelling the town, he ran home and everyone had dissappeared into the woods!
