translate English to French: Had the joint Allied effort there failed-in particular, had the Germans overrun the United Kingdom as well as the rest of North-West Europe-the direct danger to Canada would have become infinitely greater.
Si le front allié d'outre-mer s'était effondré; si, par exemple, les Allemands occupant l'Europe du Nord-Ouest avaient réussi à envahir le Royaume-Uni, le Canada aurait prêté le flanc à un péril direct extrêmement grave.
