From your earlier post,do keep up
The Nazis were completely outwitted by the English, they didn't have a clue that the enigma machine was broken by the genius Turing.

Its easy and it requires very little skill, you should try it sometime instead of making stuff up

In an earlier discussion you claimed the UK stood alone in WW2, make your mind up

It's one of Bodd's RW favourites he trots out, although completely untrue. Take it with a pinch of salt.

I use a whole cruet set when Bodd starts rambling
Turing didn't break the enigma. The Poles did that, they also invented the bombe which had several major improvements made to it, at least one of which was due to Turing.
He was utterly brilliant, and helped the war effort and laid the foundations of almost all modern computing, but he didn't win the war single handed. And like all scientists he stood on the shoulders of other giants.

Typical resort to insults, false allegations and abuse.
Dare to disagree with someone's glossy version of history and offer a more credible version, and all of a sudden you're accused of all sorts of silly misdemeanours.
Do they not realise that it illustrates how flimsy their argument was to start with, that they felt the need to resort to insults.
Pride does not mean that you should delude yourself with a fantasist version of history. That's simply delusion.
War is a terrible occurrence, not to be glorified or boasted about.
Let us not forget that the vast majority of dead in WW2 were civilians.
Some 75 million people died in World War II, including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians, many of whom died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation.

Now when some feel the need to highlight specific, one-night, successful campaigns that occurred 80 years ago in order to pronounce their pride at being British, I suspect there's something dreadfully immature and insecure about them.
The polish involvement with the enigma
is a little known fact
as is a polish fella who deliberately
Got captured and sent to Auswitz
Escaped and passed on his findings to the allies
I believe he was eventually executed by the Russians

I think I said Britain. If looking from the Sky you would have seen a couple of big islands off occupied Europe. One of those islands was a haven for those lucky enough to escape the German's. The assault on the Germans and the supply chain to Russia would all come from the British Isles...
I dont doubt we could never have done it without our allies and friends.
At one point these islands stood alone.

Do you think the Americans would march through Russia to defeat Germany? What would have happened if the British Isles folded.??????
Apart from the rest of the British empire upon which the sun never set.
The US would have shipped kit to Russia via the Pacific and the Russians would have chewed the Germans up eventually. It'd probably have slowed things by a bit.
