If Britain caved in and there was no Dunkirk spirit then the Eastern front may well have had a different campaign result. Where did the Russians get British built Hurricane fighters plus the war material sent via Murmansk convoys from? The Germans overstretched themselves by fighting on too many fronts and the British people made that happen.

An under-employed gardener will be along with an answer of some kind.

I think no would be about right.
Oh goody another *** off the young thread, how refreshing, we've not had one of those for all of five minutes.
To answer you, I imagine some WWI vets were asking themselves a similar thing in 1939. People rise to what is needed to be done WHEN it's needed and not before, I imagine the same was true of those fighting in WWII.

Don't forget the mistress, lol.
Doubt it. They'd be frightened to shoot anyone for fear of being subsequently hauled before the courts.
If we were stuck with 1940s military technology in today's world we'd be thrashed, so no.

One reader's view:

/// All those brave men died for nothing as we have been invaded anyway without a shot being
fired. ///
Another reader's view:

"that's just utter nonsense".

I'm not sure they would. Many people don't have the spirit or the backbone for it. They've been turned into simpering idiots by social media and the nanny state.

Brexit is a very good example, there are some who are already stocking up food in case there is a shortage.
Wouldn't the "British" people of today be too busy down at the mosque, protesting against the President, spewing anti-semitic hatred or squabbling about gender to be able to fight any enemy?
Like half of those problems were part of 1930s Britain, so not quite sure what you're on about.
How about reading the question? Just sayin'...
Being realistic, I think the outcome of the war depended on rather more things than the character of the British people, so I'm not sure it would make much difference.

This VR exercise seems like a colossal waste of money to me.
Jim, //If we were stuck with 1940s military technology in today's world //

I think the suggestion is that everyone else is stuck with 1940s technology too.
From Krom: //Being realistic, I think the outcome of the war depended on rather more things than the character of the British people//

I think the character of the British people was paramount. The Dunkirk spirit and all that.
I'm not sure the Dunkirk spirit had much of an effect on the eastern front, which is where the outcome of the war was effectively decided.
