<Left to themselves, the Brits would never have invaded the continent, largely because they were so shell-shocked by the experience of WWI that they were not interested in bloody land combat against the Germans again> Actually, NZ was involved in land combat long before 1943. Heck, Dad was in the middle east lining up Rommel while the wussy Yanks were still cowering waiting for Japan to be persuasive that there really was a problem. A bit like now. Waited until WTC before figuring out that terrorism really is a big deal and France should NOT be allowed to conduct terrorist operations and neither should the IRA nor their moronic Irish American supporters who should be Daisy Cuttered.
