Your post is what is known as a target-rich environment. I suspect you did not read my earlier diatribe about Chamberlain and Hitler at Munich. I won't repeat it here, scroll back up.

The US was not really in convoys prior to our entry into the war 76 years ago this week. The Royal Canadian Navy was protecting the Canadian Merchant marine and any other allied ship in convoys from North America to Britain. The US sold (loaned) 50 obsolescent destroyers to Britain and Canada got something like 17 of them which were added to the escort duty. In return for that sale (loan) the US got bases in Newfoundland, Bermuda and other places and was able to extend its Neutrality Zone and support its Neutrality Patrol. We were not involved in protecting convoys coming from Canada past Newfoundland, that was all RCN, RCAF, RN and RAF until about September 1941. The first US ship sunk by a U-boat was the USS Reuben James on October 31, 1941.

Anyway, you might want to read about the Battle of the Atlantic and specifically about Operation Drumbeat and how the US focus on Japan allowed Germany to sing ships up and down the East Coast months after Pearl Harbor.

I should point out that the attack on Pearl Harbor was designed to essentially neutralize the US as a force in the western Pacific, and it did just that. We were not ready for war with Japan and we could not hit back for quite a while, which is why Doolittle's raid was such a morale booster. It took time to build new ships and new and better aircraft. The lines of communication and supplies were VERY long across the Pacific and the US presence was all controlled by Pearl Harbor which was in disarray for a while.

From New York, or a corresponding Canadian port, convoys sailed every day of the week. At a given moment there were always 100 or more ships crossing the Atlantic from west to east, and a similar number returning. Each convoy was timed as exactly as an express train, each ran on a different route, and each was scheduled to arrive on time at a fixed but changeable “rendezvous” some 200 miles to the west of Ireland. There it was met by a destroyer escort which took it through the more dangerous home waters until, approaching their destination, ships were dispersed to their respective unloading ports. If it were not for the US, England would be speaking German. By its self, it lacked the means or ability to defend its self. Surely not the ability to defeat Germany. Bye Bye

Yeah, unfortunately most of what you wrote about the convoy system is all wrong. (Still trying to wrap my head around the "fixed but changeable" concept.

It is very possible that Britain would have fallen without US help in material and supplies. And I totally agree that it would never have been able to defeat Germany without thenon US.

Also, I get the impression that English is not your primary language, certainly the egregious spelling mistakes seem to indicate that.

'Very possible that Britain would have fallen without US help" WHAT???!!! Oh, sorry, I forgot you had the French to bail out your sorry asses. Ok, A Hole after the word "unfortunately" you did not know there should be a comma. Also "very possible" The word possible is a non-gradable and does not require a qualifier. You inserted a qualifier; "very" your mistake. Oh, you wrote, "thenon" ???? What is that? The sad thing is you are a fool and English IS your primary language. Look in the mirror and gaze upon a pompous ass. See, you really don't know what you are talking about.

Yeah. You are a real hero. Hitler used Chamberlain for his blow up doll. "Try and fight" is a good description. It did not amount to much. Too bad the British didn't have the balls to stand up to him. Instead, they allowed him to outmaneuver and control them. If Chamberlain had the balls to defend the UK's alliance with Czechoslovakia it might have been different. Instead the British threw in the towel. At that point, Hitler knew they were ballless. Before the US entered the war there were convoys to the UK from the US in violation of our neutrality. Did you really think the UK had the means to support itself with the Germans in so much in control of the seas? When Japan attacked Hawaii did massive amounts of war supplies and personnel head to the Pacific. No. It went to the UK. The Americans in the Pacific did not get the aid and support they should have. There was a tremendous loss of American lives. The initial bulk of American aid and war materials went to that little island next to Ireland.
Hero's you are not
