Well obviously the witches were not that powerful since it was the good ole U.S.A. that bailed the brits out of trouble.
Not witchcraft.
Britain was all but at the end of her rope before America jumped into the war.

The 2nd world war started way earlier than 1942 but you couldn't join the war until then because you were too busy making a profit out of it by supplying both sides.
Almost from the beginning of war in Europe, President Roosevelt began what was to become an undeclared war with Germany in the North Atlantic. The first tenative step was naval patrols to to prevent belligerent ships from U.S. waters. Also he began to think about bases in Bermuda and the Caribbean only days after the war had begun. While America would not enter the War until December 1941, Britain had an ally in the Atlantic almost from the beginning of the War. At first the American role was limited, but as the situation worsend and the German's expanded the U-boat fleet, the American role expanded. The Royal Navy was ill prepared for the war. Lossess to the u-boats were severe, despite the fact the Keiegsmarine began the War with only a small force. Months before American entered the War, the U.S. Navy was involved in a full-scale shooting war to protect the convoys needed to keep Britin in the War. The American public was not fully aware of the extent to which the Navy was involved. The American effort, however, played a major role in allowing Britain to to survive the NAZI onslaught. Hitler was enranged with America's clear violation of its neutral status, but ordered the U-boat commanders to avoid incidents with the Americans until the campaign in the East had been successfully completed

The Nazis - did all sort of occult things didn't they. They also went in search of power objects like the Spear of Christ [ spear of destiny ?] and the Holy Grail. I find this subject really interesting - all Indiana Jones..edit on 9-2-2013 by HelenConway because: (no reason given)

I agree that we didn't join the war soon enough but it was not Russia that sent supplies and troops to Britain to save her, America did.
Had America not joined the war Russia still would not have saved Britain. America did.
And yes America did save Russia because we opened the second front in the west which made Hitler split his forces.
Silly
The whole plan relied on Germany having complete control of the English Channel, which, in turn meant that Germany had to have control of the skies so that the Royal Air Force could not attack German ships crossing the Channel. Hence victory in the Battle of Britain was an integral part of the plan.
Even devout Christians like Kipling and Belloc refer to the old gods when talking of the Southdowns.
Did you know that Merlin and Arthur and a host of mystical beings fought for Britain during WW2.

If you haven't read Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, ma'am, you are in for a treat. It's all about the old gods and their guardianship of the land. It's a children's book, really, but one that an adult can enjoy—so long as they can stomach a few political anachronisms—and, as with everything by Kipling, it is beautifully written.
