There are a number of errors in Obrien's post Hitler's Germany was not even close to a nuclear bomb and had not even started on it. They DID have the raw material and expertise to make one, but Heisenberg told Hitler that it would take at least ten years to develop one and there were other priorities. So they did not bother seriously developing one. Then they had some of their physicists working to disprove Jewish physics of Einstein, which makes it impossible to make a nuke. Read the book The Alsos Project which was the Army's effort to find out how close the Nazis were to their own A-bomb as the US Army took back the Western nations..The Alsos team was just behind and in some cases slightly ahead of the front line. Their findings were that there was no threat of the Nazis getting any nuclear device. The aid FDR gave to the Brits before Dec7,1941 was mostly to provide naval aid and a plan if the US entered the war they would fight Germany as the top priority. Lend-Lease was much later and did provide some significant support which was FAR later than the Battle of Britain which had been won by that time. The Battle of the Atlantic was FAR more important and vital than any other thing. FDR did provide help which was significant in that battle, but he was hampered in that by CNO Adm. King who hated the Brits and was an incompetent which made my fathers life a lot harder since he was a Minesweeper skipper out of Norfolk.
