Oh, good grief. No. Germany was dead-set on invading England,
but the RAF wouldn't let them. (Google "Battle of Britain.) It
was after they gave up on England that they invaded Russia.

....We already went over this, discussed it, came to conclusions, discussed some
side topics that grew out of it, and are DONE with it. Honestly, Tim, please

want to respond to something!
