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.

Fact 1: If the European countries had done more to stop Germany sooner like telling Hitler..... "ya'll ain't suppose to be in the Rhineland so get back over yonder...." Or even mobalized as soon as he went after Poland... etc.
Fact 2: England was on her knees. No shame in that, she fought bravely and would have fought, I am sure, untill the last.
Fact 3: Many American pilots fought in the Battle of Britain.
Fact 4: Gas, Beans and Bullets that England was running very low on came from the US. Way before we entered the war.
Fact 5: If Hitler had not turned on the Russians, which gave England the break she badly needed. America would have had to invade different beaches (just imagine that logistical nightmare) and do it all alone to save England. I am sure we would have done it anyway. We are kind of fond of her, good o'l England.

Good you get it. There are a lot of if, and, and but to the relations between the UK. and the US. Along with some should of, could of and would have.....during that time.
I did mention the logistical nightmare that would have been involved for the US. if Germany had gained Enland. We should all be thankful they didn't ok, the Isle of White... But you are right, America would have had a hell of a time. We needed UK. and they needed us. Along with our other allies.
The only thing the US. had going for it was stand off distance and the Canooks benefited from this also.
Ain't it nice to have friends?
There are many Americans that would do it all again as their grandfathers did to help the UK. should they ever need our help again. She has helped us over the years since WW2....

But during the midst of this great and terrible astral war, dark forces allied with the Nazi regime threatened the lives of numerous talented children with promising futures in the area of occult practice. In defense, four brilliant pioneers of the most advanced occult banded together and founded a mystical fortress only discernible by established practitioners of the arts who were possessed of pure and earnest hearts. This fortress is known today as a myth, and it is called...
Hogwarts.

nauseating huh?....lol...Regardless of your opinions, the fact is/was that without American aide in either military manpower or economic resources Britain and Russia would have folded up like a cheap lawn chair in a hurricane. You can thank god for Churchill in your hour of need who mustered the drive necessary to prosecute the war from a practical position. Chamberlain and minions was a disaster in assessing Germany's intentions. Regardless, both Churchill and Stalin owe the United States and Canada for establishing the allied backbone and wrangling the power from Germany and Axis powers and their onslaught.
That is not an opinion, it's a fact.
As to the point in this thread, I too find the prospect of the occult as curious to a point. Of all those cited i know very little of with the exception Aleistar Crowley. I will research it more when i have the time. From what i know about Crowley, other than he was pervert and drug addict who impregnated every woman who crossed his path and lived off the purse of his friends, that he probably cared less for western democracies and if for no other reason offered his expertise for a modest pay check. According to him, he gave a copy of his book "the Law" to Hitler in the early years. Personally, i think he had no loyalties to anything or anyone other than himself. In fact, he was thrown out of many countries for his lewd behavior and obviously he cared less for anything noble.
