OK, WI during WWII there'd been some sorta mass brawl between US troops stationed in the UK & their British counterparts, along the scale of the Battle of Brisbane between Australian Diggers & US servicemen in 1942 ? As in Australia during 1942-45, Yanks in the UK were similarly viewed by locals as 'overpaid, oversexed, over here', & there were some bar brawls etc- but WI there'd been a fullscale riot/battle between servicemen from the 2 Anglo-Saxon allies in some major British city such as London or any other place with a high concentration of US servicemen, resulting in many serious injuries plus deaths ? Perhaps if say there'd somehow been more news leaked out in April 1944 of the Exercise TIGER fiasco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Tiger), resulting in American recriminations against the British for properly failing to escort that convoy off Slapton Sands & breaking out into open street battles ? Also, WI there' been other factors involved, such as a 'Brownout Strangler'-style US serviceman murdering women in wartime England as Eddie Leonski did in Melbourne in 1942- which likewise underpinned a greater degree of local animosity & fear towards Americans ? How much of a field day would Goebbels & Lord Haw-Haw have had in the aftermath of such dirty laundry being openly aired ?
