Yeah - I saw it. Pretty good stuff. It made you realise why we had to fight and not surrender. The BBCi stuff on afterwards was pretty cool as well. Bravo to the Beeb. I had thoughts that they wouldn't do this justice. Thankfully I was wrong.

I'm still wondering why The Mustache did not completely pursue the weakened British, just to end the threat to his own side. By the way, I don't have access to that program here in New York and I wonder if that was discussed in the program!

Hitler lost his nerve after Churchill came out with his famus "We will fight" speech. While the speech was ment to prepare the British for a long and hard fight I am certain that it was also aimed at the German High Command where Churchill scored a bullseye in bluffing Hitler. There was also Hitlers fear of the fleet taking loses which it certainly would have in an invasion of the British Iles which the longer he waited the more it weighed on his mind.
