And what is the purpose of this post? I'm assuming you have listened to the
words of Day in the Life , by the Beatles?
The English Army had just won the war etc.


One other thing I feel was really bad was that all through my childhood the
comics sold to children had stories of the British killing Germans and lots
of Square heads, Krouts references as well. This went on almost to the 60s,

Blimey, its a wonder that n any Germans still spoke to us at all.

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 can't 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 didn't win the war in that sense. We were
on the winning side by the end, but we were really quite minor players."
