Skeet, the Germans did occupy some of the Channel islands, which were (and are) British soil- Guernsey for one, maybe others.
As far as the Germans invading Britain, I doubt the US was a factor- woulda happened in 1940 if it was gonna, long before we were in the war, or prepared to be. But, the Germans needed control of the air to do it. You may have heard of the Battle of Britain, the RAF, etc. You know, "never has so much been owed by so many to so few" Winston Churchill speaking about the RAF fighter pilots- and he was dead on, IMO. The Brits stopped the Germans, not us. Remember, Hitler declared war on us, we didn't declare war on Germany. He was nuts, but I doubt he was afraid of us. Safe to say he shoulda been.
