Interesting. Did you or did you not say, and I quote ...
It really doesn't matter what Hitler or Germany thought about things, the reality was that they were at war with the Commonwealth.
As I demonsrtrated. Sure, I get it, you don't like it. Fine. Doesn't change the facts.

Germany declared war on Britain, or should we say that Britain decaled war on Germany after it invaded Poland. The commonwealth by appendix also declared war on Germany, but I don't think Hitler gave two hoots about the fact that the Commonwealth declared war on Germany as it was irrelevant to him, and I don't think Germany had any coherent plan to ever tackle Commonwealth forces outside of Europe or related theatres in the Med and North Africa. If this point is important to you that is fine, but in the scheme of things its not a major event.

I'm actually finding your train of though tedious. You claim that the British Commonwealth and the Soviet (or maybe without them) could have beaten Germany without American help, and you imply that Britain could have built an atomic bomb by itself when all the evidence points to the fact that Britain could not have built an atomic bomb by itself any earlier than the 1950's and that would only happen if Britain devoted a huge amount of resources to a project that it could ill afford to fund by itself in wartime.
