I think Japan still would have invaded the Soviet Union though, if the Second Sino-Japanese War continued (the oil embargo only really happened once they invaded Indochina).
Other than that I agree with you. That would be curious alternate reality.
The dig was organised by Blakesley resident Romer Adams, who heard the plane crash when he was a five-year-old boy.
Thanks for sharing. But I couldn’t help noticing that one of the comments below the article mentioned that the journalist who “wrote” this, copied the article from another site. And indeed, after a quick search, it turns out to have been published over two weeks ago at:

Not to blame you for that of course, I really appreciate all the interesting historical information you come up with!
As a bonus, the other site also has the following article on the preservation of a German Dornier bomber found in Kent a few years ago:

Indeed. Im checking out this forum daily now to see what interesting stories you have found.
Thanks alot!
