Good afternoon Brits, Was God late in coming to y'all aid?

Question

It's no secrete that to a man every brits truly believes we [American] were late in sending troops to save them in WW 2. It's deeply entrench in the British, Does no good to point out it took them almost five years to fulfil their WRITTEN obligation to Poland Norway, France and many other countries on the continent so I give up
So I ask was God also late? As in ''we shall never surrender...carry on...until in GODS GOOD TIME the new world steps forth with all it's power and might to the rescue and liberation of the old world'' Mr Churchill 4 Jun 1940

Answer 1

Isn't it time you changed the record? This one must be just about worn through!



Anyway Ray, keep taking the pills. They might work!

Answer 2

World War Two started in 1939.

The US didn't get involved until December 1941.

The first US troops didn't arrive in the UK till 1942.



As for the whole "saving the Brits" part:



When the UK actually needed saving most was during the 1940 Battle of Britain.

That battle was Nazi Germany's attempt to gain air superiority so their planned invasion fleet wouldn't get blasted by defending fighters and bombers.

Without German air superiority, the Nazis felt an invasion would not succeed.

Germany lost that battle, thereby eliminating the threat of invasion.

No USAF or US Army Air Corps squadrons participated in that battle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_officially_accredited_Battle_of_Britain_squadrons for the US to claim it "saved" the Brits.



The flip side of the coin was the Battle of the Atlantic wherein Nazi subs attempted to sink convoys between Canada and the UK.

The US eventually did participate in this, the longest running battle of the war, but the Royal Canadian Navy had overall command of the Western Zone (the North American side of the Atlantic), the British Royal Navy defended the approaches to the UK itself, and a mixed bag of Allies comprised the Mid Ocean Escort Group.

It's also salient to note that Norwegian, Polish, Free French, Belgian, Dutch, and Brazilian navies also fought in the Battle of the Atlantic.

So again, it wasn't all "America saved Everything" like you've apparently misapprehended.





Next, the UK's obligation was to go to war if Hitler ever attacked Poland.

In September of 1939 Hitler did attack and the UK did declare war.

The treaty was was honoured then and there, not years later.



As for allied supplies to the Soviets, the USA did not provide the bulk of arms, munitions, kit, equipment and other materiel for the 34+ million troops who served in the Red Army during WW2 for your claim in that regard to be in any way valid.

Said differently, Germany suffered 80% of its wartime losses on the Eastern Front, and those were not caused or inflicted by weapons stamped Made In the USA.

Hell, the Nazis lost more tanks at the Battle of Kursk than the total number of tanks they had on the Western Front to oppose the Normandy campaign with.





Lastly, as someone with relatives buried in a Canadian war cemetery in France who died in the Battle for Caen and Battle of Verrieres Ridge, I'd like to respectfully point out that your distorted view of WW 2 history deeply dishonours the memory and sacrifice of all those who together won an ALLIED victory.

A victory in which the US was just one participant of many.

And a victory which the US did not earn - nor is it entitled to - all the credit for winning.

Answer 3

Oh, well in '44 that was a generation of humble and brave Americans that aided my country to victory with more grace and composure than you could ever dream of, and at a delicate and innocent time in world history when America could have it all. Can't now though can you ha ha ha! The drums of financial doom are a-banging Y'all.



We'll find out after Tuesday if God was late coming to y'all on financial Armaggedon day wont we? Keep the question up Ray mate me-olde smelly fruit cake, and we'll see if God saves you.



Substitute:- MONEY = God in your case.



Eds

They were a generation that you had no part of whatsoever, and you bare absolutely no resemblance to the good souls that assisted in our war in Europe that we paid you back for 10 fold - the only country to do so. Remember fruit cake, only 2/5 of the men that took part in D-Day were American, 2/5 were British, and 1/5 Canadian and Commonwealth troops.

Answer 4

..y'all says it all. I think your a Brit. Yet the Americans always bow their own trumpets and that''s your band wagon. Everyone knows America doesn't get involved unless it gets slapped. The rest of the world could be blasted to bits and America will sit on its hands ignoring it. Lockerbie took a hit and America took no notice, the twin towers took a hit ad America is off and running, as that president said we will run em down and smoke em out. Yet a little bit of notice of Lockerbie by America could have prevented the destruction of the twin towers. The war was long time ago and my family members were in POW camps and fighting on the beaches.

It is 0k we are used to America saying they won the war all by themselves. You might want to write a book about those days. After all there are plenty of American films on how the Americans won the war.

Answer 5

so according to you big mouth it took us it took us almost five years to fulfil their WRITTEN obligation to Poland Norway, France and many other countries on the continent to quote your words next you will be telling us you won world war 2 for us well let me ask you a question then where were you when we fought the battle of Britain we fought the luftwaffe and beat them despite at the beginning the odds were against us and it was Sir Winston Churchill who said "I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.



At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.



The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.



Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.



We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."



so that answers your question I suggest you learn a bit of history then you may know what you are shouting about not what you think you are shouting your big mouth off about I don't know what you have against us but you seem to always bad mouthing us perhaps you are just a troll who gets some sort of thrill from bad mouthing us or may be just an idiot



Edit

During the 1942-1943 dry season, two operations were mounted. The first was a small scale offensive into the Arakan region of Burma. The Arakan is a coastal strip along the Bay of Bengal, crossed by numerous rivers. The First Arakan offensive largely failed due to difficulties of logistics, communications and command. The Japanese troops were also still assigned almost superhuman powers by their opponents. The second attack was much more controversial; that of the 77th Indian Infantry Brigade, better known as the Chindits.



Under the command of Major General Orde Wingate, the Chindits in 1944 penetrated deep behind enemy lines in an attempt to gain intelligence, break communications and cause confusion. The operation had originally been conceived as part of a much larger offensive, which had to be aborted due to lack of supplies and shipping. Almost all of the original reasons for mounting the Chindit operation were then invalid. Nevertheless, it was mounted anyway.



Some 3,000 men entered Burma in many columns. They caused damage to Japanese communications, and they gathered intelligence. However, they suffered dreadful casualties, with only two thirds of the men who set out on the expedition returning. Those that returned were wracked with disease and quite often in dreadful physical condition. The most important contributions of the Chindits to the war were unexpected. They had had to be supplied by air. At first it had been thought impossible to drop supplies over the jungle. Emergency situations that arose during the operation necessitated supply drops in the jungle, proving it was possible. It is also alleged by some that the Japanese in Burma decided to take the offensive, rather than adopt a purely defensive stance, as a direct result of the Chindit operation. Whatever the reason for this later change to the offensive, it was to prove fatal for the Japanese in Burma

so if you are trying to say we never fought the Japs that proves you wong once again

. British forces made a significant contribution to the success of the invasion.



During the final strikes against Japan, British forces operated as an integral part of the American task force.

Answer 6

You weren't ******* late. You didn't even have to get physically involved. By the time the Luftwaffe had been defeated during the battle of Britain, Hitler's attention was focused on Russia and Rommel was feeling Montgomery's boot up his ****.

Besides, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that Hitler never wanted a full scale invasion of the UK. He planned for it yes, but he was hoping we would sue for peace first. Which we didn't.

The Luftwaffe got their arses handed to them by the RAF, the Kriegsmarine surface fleet was too afraid to come out of port after the Bismark was sunk and the Wehrmacht found Russia too bloody cold.

If you hadn't of helped us retake western Europe and Italy, then Stalin's red army would have done a pretty good job by itself.



You had no obligation to us at all. GERMANY declared war on YOU, that's why you got physically involved. Are we grateful? Yes we are. Did we need to you to save us? No. We'd already halted Hitler at the English channel. To successfully invade the UK you need control of the skies. The Luftwaffe had been mauled by the RAF and the skies over the Channel remained firmly ours.



Go and re-read your history books. Hollywood is not History.



bloody yanks.



"Dunkirk"



Clearly you haven't heard of it properly. Dunkirk was the withdrawal of British troops across the Channel, pretty good strategic move when faced by a much larger force with the French as your allies. Better to retreat across a natural barrier than lose everything. As I mentioned to successfully invade Britain you need control of the Channel, and to control the Channel you need to control the skies above it. The RAF mauled the Luftwaffe even though it was heavily outnumbered. After the battle of Britain the Luftwaffe could no longer compete in the western theatre, thus any attempted crossing of the Channel would have failed. The Royal Navy and the RAF, being effectively unopposed now would have sunk any German transports the moment they left port. We did that WITHOUT American troops.



No-one is denying American involvement was crucial in liberating Mainland Europe, The Daylight bombing raids were very useful (the RAF would have done the same job, but taken longer as they only carried night raids), but it was not crucial in preventing our invasion. We did that ourselves. No one was our Saviour, as much as Americans like it to think so. By the time American troops joined the war, Britain has already prevented invasion and was building up her forces again. Your biggest contribution up until that point was selling us materials.

Plus, with Britain keeping a good chunk of german forces occupied with the Atlantic wall by not suing for peace, it prevented a huge re-inforcement of the eatern front. Something Hitler was hoping for.



As for the Eastern Front, The Wehrmacht was BROKEN at Stalingrad, all they could do after was a policy of scorched earth coupled with dogged determination, which wasn't enough. Their back was broken there and then finished off in the Ardennes by the Allies during the Battle of the bulge.



GO AND READ YOUR SODDING HISTORY!!!

Answer 7

It was because of the incompetence of US and European politicians that the Axis almost won. Europeans appeased Hitler until it was too late, and Americans did not join until 2 and a half years after the war started.
