Question

Why does Churchill believe an invasion of British soil is not likely to occur in the near future?

A. Because French forces were pushing the Germans back into Poland
B. Because American ships were blocking entrance to the English Channel
C. Because the enemy did not have a powerful enough air force
D. Because the enemy could not keep his troops supplied from such a great distance

Answer 1

The correct answer is D: Because the enemy could not keep his troops supplied from such a great distance.

In Churchill's famous speech "Their finest hour", he says that the Great Britain would be far more capable of meeting another invasion than the last time, due to the large armada the Germans would find right when they got there and also because another invasion would require a large scale transportation and the maintenance of supplies, which would make it difficult for the enemy to attend it.
