VE Day 75 years later: The real story of how Britain won WW2

[Bodd]

The same ones that stood by us in 1939

Do you mean neutral America?

 

[crystal ball]

Not specifically but The US supported us with hardware, as I have already linked to

 

[JohnD]

India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, you mean?

 

[fillyboy]

The same ones that stood by us in 1939

France and Poland?

 

[EddieM]

That statement is contradictory and doesn't make any sense.

Huh, you can't launch an invasion of britain without boats, you cant build boats without

Not specifically but The US supported us with hardware, as I have already linked to

Humpf, some support. capitalised very nicely on WW2 which is why the yanks oft get misty eyed about the golden 50's and 60's hardly surprising really. Primary aim, wrestle global superpower status from UK to US. Well seems they've made an even worse hash of it than we did. Not quite sure how though, we had hundreds of cultures and countries to repress, they had one. Still I suppose they were originally made up of rejects.

 

[noseall]

France and Poland?

Yes, those too.

 

[Bodd]

Little Island surrounded by water

To the west Neutral Ireland further west is miles away

To the North is Iceland.

To the east is Europe occupied by our enemies Germany, Italy and Russia.

To the South is Defeated France and neutral Spain or were they neutral?

To the south of that..... Too far.

Apart from a little logistical help, we pretty much stood alone in the Falkland war too, the EEC issued a trade embargo but not before France ensured Argentina had an ample supply of Exocet missiles.

Can you imagine the US gave all that hardware to France?

The Falklands had our support

New Zealand sent a ship to help.

The US said if Russia get involved they would blow them out the water.

Yep the French made sure the Argentines were stocked up on missiles

The French cannot be trusted

That De Gaule spent the war years living in the UK

Them marched through Paris after the allies kicked the Germans out as if he was the liberator

The French than organised arbitrary executions for collabertors like some shop keeper who flogged some German a loaf

Then De Gaule stopped us joining the common market.

And even after the EEC embargo, those sly old Frenchies had a technical team from 'Dassault' based in Argentina to assist with launchers.

 

[transam]

Franco was supported by Hitler and mussolini militarily during the Spanish civil war

Than the Spanish had the nerve to issue an international arrest warrant against that bloke from Chile pinochet afaik

How many Spanish fascists / Franco brown nosers were put on trial by Spain after Franco snuffed it??

Answer none / zilch

They can't be trusted either

NOFA

Exactly

That's the French for you

 

[transam]

And the French government sent a terrorist team to New Zealand and sank the rainbow warrior murdering a crew member
