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 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 ?. We wouldn't be driving around. Bull**** if Britain had agreed to a truce after Dunkirk as Hitler wanted. Britain would have ended up like Spain and Portugal, doing fine. France did fine after it surrendered. and the Japs would have taken Australia And India -- bert |
