Contrary to what many people seem to believe, Germany did not invade Britain in 1939, or France.
Britain and France declared war on - and invaded - Germany in September 1939.
Hundreds of thousands of British soldiers were in France in 1940 trying to cross the Rhine, together with even larger French armies.
When the Wehrmacht counter-attacked through the Ardennes in 1940, Hitler gave orders to his generals to halt at Sedan, he had no intention of entering Paris and wished for a peaceful solution to the hostilities.
However, his generals thundered on towards Calais and Boulogne, cutting off almost the entire British forces who had previously marched from France into Belgium to halt the German advance.
The Wehrmacht generals, who had already disobeyed Hitler by proceeding with the offensive after taking Sedan, were about to surround and overrun almost the entire British Force - hundreds of thousands of men - as they hastily scrambled back from Belgium and were gathered in the Aras area in northern France.
Hitler arrived from Germany in France and gave very strict orders to his generals to allow the Brits to retreat to Dunkirk and embark back home.
The British High Command had been certain that only 50,000 British soldiers could be evacuated to Kent, it was a forgone conclusion the German forces were to prevail, but they had not reckoned with Hitler's decision to overrule his generals and allow the Brits to withdraw. Indeed, many French soldiers were also allowed to evacuate to Britain.
Had Hitler wanted to invade Britain, he'd have allowed his generals to carry out their encirclement of what amounted to well over half the entire British Army around Aras, and the Wehrmacht would have landed even in rowing boats unopposed in England, marched on London within five hours and Churchill would have hopped on a plane to Canada.
Churchill was an expert in rewriting history as it unfolded.
The victors rewrote WWII history.
Churchill had a fan-blooming-tastic time bombing German cities to smithereens.
Hitler had hoped Britain would not initiate - or at least not continue - the bombardments of civilian centres, he hoped the war with Britain would end altogether, but Churchill went on and bombed day in day out, thus provoking the retaliation of the Luftwaffe.
I suppose we can thank Churchill that a part of our beloved Canterbury was destroyed.
The man was definitely evil.
