Went for a shop-run / wander today, and was listening to the VE Day coverage on R5L.
I remembered this post among others, and thought about it in a different light.
"Man for man they were a fearsome, formidable adversary."
Hitler had been preparing to go on the offensive for years, so it stands to reason that he had a well-armed, well-supplied, well-trained, and well-drilled armed force at his disposal. He didn't just wake up one morning and think "I'll start a World War today".
"I'm glad they got bored and turned right."
According to (of all people, Al "The Pub Landlord"" Murray; read Modern History at Oxford University , and James Holland; Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Historian, and author), it was less that Hitler turned right "because he got bored" but more that he had to. The Nazis were running low on supplies, battling a Britain they'd expected to roll over quickly, and had to attack Russia two years earlier than originally planned, to open up eastern supply routes.
