In 1940 Adolph Hitler had conquered all of Europe except for a small island off the coast of France who refused to be conquered. This island was all that stood between Hitler and complete conquest in Europe. This island is Great Britain. Great Britain held off Hitler until the United States entered the war and that resilience and determination was the beginning of the end of Hitler. Without Great Britain, the Allies would have no foothold from which to invade Europe driving Hitler into his underground hole with the rest of the sewer rats. Winston Churchill was right when he called this "Their Finest Hour".
