You're right, Hitler would've had England.  Possibly in a month.  Their laws 
made them weak.  But, their way of thinking also made them weak.  For 
example, when they don't need the military, at leasrt back then it was the 
case, they thrwe them to the wayside.  When they're needed again, they start 
building it up.  That's just the way they were.
This is how hitler could've invaded England with no problem.  Hitler takes 
portugal.  He occuupies Portugal.  And then, when the time is right, all he 
would have to do is transport his oops to England and start invasion.  
England was a major ommunications hub, so it would've been a major loss to 
the whole war.  You see how easy it would've been now?
Peace.
