John le Carre quote
To hear Brexiters claiming that Britain won the war single-handedly is, he says, emetic. The wonderful rightwing military historian Max Hastings points out that we were bad fighters, that we were extremely badly organised, and our contribution in terms of blood and wealth and material was I cant say trivial, but tremendously small by comparison to the sacrifices of the other major powers. Russia lost, what, 30 million men? And in treasure, heaven knows what. We didnt win the war in that sense. We were on the winning side by the end, but we were really quite minor players.
I beg to differ. If Britain had done **** all against Hitler, the
world would be a very different place today.
Do you mean we would be driving around in German or Japanese cars ?.
