There is also a possible risk that air raids ordered by the British Mad Dog Churchill when they cause substantial civilian casualties could bring the Americans in on the Germans side. If that unlikely event were to happen then Britain would be faced with both unrestricted submarine warfare and the threat of the combined fleets of Italy, Germany, the United States as well as possible actions by the French and Japanese fleets.

This has got to be the stupidest scenario I have ever seen; that a Germany that has conquered, and is occupying, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, The Netherlands and France would somehow be seen as a peaceful state and Britain as an aggressor is flat out ridiculous. That the government would face civil unrest for choosing to continue the fight is even more ridiculous. The America would ever have entered the war allied with Germany against Britain is flat out insane.
