CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

Operation Sealion - the invasion of Britain - was cancelled in Sep 1940 when Luftwaffe losses from the Battle of Britain were so great that the invasion could not succeed.

Operation Barbarossa - the invasion of Russia - began on 22 Jun 1941, long after Hitler had given up on invading Britain.

As for Pearl Harbour, the Japanese didn't get "ahead of themselves", all three US Pacific fleet carriers were at sea when the Japanese attacked.  The war could have taken a very different course if the carriers had been sunk at Pearl Harbour.  Neutralising  the US Navy's Pacific fleet was a key element of Japan's strategy, and they nearly pulled it off.

The US provided military equipment to the Allies via Lend-Lease which meant that no payments were required until the end of the war.  The US was the recipient of reverse Lend-Lease military equipment from Britain after it entered the war.  It was actually in the USA's interest to end the war quickly so they could get payment, hence their insistence on the bringing D-Day forward.

I know about the lend lease agreement and yes the USA didn't supply arms. I'm talking American industry, Henry Ford was a nazi supporter and had factories in Europe run by American managers as did GM, Ford sold the Germans parts and aircraft lubricants.
GM supplied motors for Nazi trucks, Standard Oil were also supplying oil for fuels. They were disgraceful and used Panamanian flagged boats to ship it.

Ford even pressured the govt not to bomb his factories and got a compo package after the war worth millions because they did get bombed. Reported that Hitler had a photo of Henry Ford at the Reichstag and loved the bloke. Was that bad that the American troops found GMs sub brand Opel had been building motors and aircraft when they invaded Europe..
Roosevelt wanted Ford to up production at home but instead they were focused on their euro business. Ford was asked to build Rolls Royce Merlin engines but Henry himself knocked back the idea.
Those companies copped scrutiny after the war but hired a heap of legal teams to deflect the flak.
