    The British army would help out too. Not that they’d be needed of course.

    If a war happened, the Royal Navy will clear the seas of German ships and no doubt. All the Kriegsmarine has is a pair of battle cruisers and few heavy cruisers but they DO have a stonking great big newly built battleship.
    That’s it. The couple of submarines the jerries have are coastal defence

    Hms Courageous and Glorious to use their airplanes locate any ships and bring in the fleet
    War?
    What war?

    The prototype of that device with the ridiculous name "Computer" will amount to nothing. We will keep on relying on the people in large rooms computing things manually for many decades to come.

    Make sure you only use Knights of Colombanus certified canes. Some of those knock off ones barely break the skin

    Just the German glider pilots practising their sport. Or night time airmail deliveries. Industrious people.
