[edit] The importance of the war cabinet crisis

For all its faults, this article is correct in its conclusion that these events determined the outcome of WWII and thus the course of world history. With Britain's decision to fight on, come what may, a Nazi victory became impossible (with the possible exception that a Nazi nuclear weapon could subsequently have forced a British surrender). So long as Britain continued to fight, conflict between Nazi Germany and the USSR / USA was inevitable at some point, and Germany could not prevail against this combination. The debt owed by the world to Winston Churchill for his conviction, courage and leadership at this time is incalculable. WWII was won not on the beaches of Dunkirk, nor in the skies over southern England, nor at Stalingrad nor Pearl Harbour, but in these smoke-filled rooms during late May 1940. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.6.139.11 (talk • contribs) 08:48, 2 August 2006

[edit] Needs a major overhaul

This article may be accurate and well written, but it seems like an extract from a book. It may not be, but it strays completely off-topic at times, it's too long, and it's not precise enough.

And, while we're on the subject, I would argue that Russia won World War II, with Operation Barbarossa. The invasion of Russia was enough to stretch out and weaken Hitler enough to turn the tide. When it failed, that's when Nazi expansion ended and the joint forces from Moscow and Dunkirk could start to force Germany back in on itself. Just my two cents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvertouch (talk • contribs) 09:37, 17 June 2007

I put the World War II Wikiproject tag here. I hope somebody will come and save this article because it needs much work. -- SECisek (talk) 15:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
