And what is the purpose of this post?

There is no purpose, its just mindless remoaner bull****.

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."
