It seems that in most every engagement the Brits soundly defeated the Kraut pilots. Interesting graphic.

The defence of Britain by RAF Fighter Command against extensive air raids by the German Luftwaffe in 1940 ensured Britain's survival and blocked the possibility of invasion. Roll over the graphic to see the daily toll inflicted on men and machine in the Battle of Britain and read James Holland's commentary on why Germany lost.

I'm sure it's harder to invade then it is to defend. You're talking about Anti Aircraft artillery before they even get into it with the British planes.

Germany had Goring as their executive Luftwaffe commander. He was incompetent.

Well you were getting the munitions from somewhere. Also isn't Britain a very tiny part of Europe?

So even if we weren't there yet, we still had our hand in helping you's.

Hey never took all the credit for WW2 and always asked if the war was going on for so long how come we waited so long to get involved in High School.
But Europe was wtfpooned before we got there and you were Defending your country.

But we did supply you with lots of supplies and eventually troops, like the french did for us when we kicked you out.

Tell you grandmother next time I'm in the country I'll take her out for a nice cup of tea..

Britain was able to hold her own in defense.. But there is no way she could have conquered Fortress Europa alone. Especially after the losses at Dunkirk.

We entered late because we were safe for a really long time and the aid we did give let us sleep at night. But once we found out that grandma's were working in factories we sent troops over ASAP. I lost many great uncles in that war but we didn't help at all, and I'm sure that england would have held on forever.

right. but you have to ask why the odds got that bad in the first place. america were not the ALL CONQUERING OMG YAY FREEDOM LIBERTY WOOHOO saviours of the day. they stayed out for as long as possible and watched their own interests-- pursuing a policy of economic and militaristic isolationism. only when britain agreed to sign a desperate far-too-late loan agreement - a massively profitable scheme for the american economy - and only after japan's own imperial interests took a swipe at pearl harbour, did you fully commit to helping a worldwide atrocity. up until that time, you ignored everyone's plight because there was nothing in it for you. i fucking cannot stand the american 'we saved europe in ww2' attitude. you let europe get into that bad a state in the first place; states were weak, people were demoralized, and generally nobody was fit to cope with a new german machine after the great war.

i dunno how they teach ww2 history to you yanks in school but it comes across as pretty much fucking wrong.

So glad I got my post in first.

Our economy actually got really good after WW2 because we were the only ones with factories. We were assisting you with munitions and Aid for the longest and that's why we were pulled into the war.

We do stink.. But have you guys lost anymore common wealth's recently?

actually i think you got 'pulled' into the war after signing a lease with us that you knew we'd be paying out the ass for for the next 100 years.

america: great job!

Well hey it was either that or making an entire religious group(or is it race) extinct and speaking German now. But then again you've been conquered before and it didn't last two long. Have you ever thought how long the Germans would have been able to hold on if they did win?

I'm pretty sure with the way they conquered the land they would have been kicked out by now..

I think the main point you are all over looking is that Germans suck.
