"Failure would have brought immediate political as well as military problems. I would guess that the Churchill government could not have survived - after all, it had bet the kingdom on Overlord. The successor government would have had a mandate - to do what? Prosecute the war more vigorously? Hardly possible. Negotiate with Hitler? Unthinkable. Muddle on and **hope for the best**? Most likely."

Cu "la" aş zice că e o exprimare mai frecventă.
