Re: USA probably at the root of it
” you missed us having to give away our Radar developments”
Like the other commenter above, you overestimate the Britain’s role in developing the technology.
When war broke out Britain had RDF, while Germany had Funkmessgerat. The US also developed the technology and coined the term radar in 1940, before they entered the war. It wasn’t some top secret thing that only British scientists knew about...
Britain didn’t “have to” give away anything. Churchill thought it would be handy to suck up to the US, with an eye to them entering the war, and sent the Tizard Mission to share information.
