And then on the other hand, they're also going, yeah, but, you know, Germany doesn't have natural resources, doesn't have access to the world's oceans. You know, it's kind of, you know, it shouldn't be able to win a war. And so they're kind of contradicting themselves at the same time.

You know, so one minute they're sort of going, oh, God, you don't want to take on all those Nazis and all those swastikas and those automaton stormtroopers. But on the other hand, they're then saying, but actually, Germany doesn't have much in its basket. It's got actually quite a lot of weaknesses, and we should be able to prevail, blah, blah, blah.

We'll just impose an economic blockade, and then it'll be stuffed. And Britain is not ready to fight a war in 1948, but nor is Hitler, nor is Germany. So one is sort of striking out the other. But it's very easy to say that in hindsight.
