My father came back whole from WWII. His brother in law died on the Franklin, consumed by the fires. Two of my uncles returned shot by German machine guns, one with unending spinal pain became an alcoholic. A third uncle, a survivor from a ship sunk in the Pacific, suffered from PSD for the rest of his life, never able to hold a job or have a family. My father’s brother survived being shot down over France in two occasions. He never spoke of that, we learned of it during his funeral eulogy forty years later. Every family has stories like that.

See above.

Again... On what basis do you claim to speak for Britain?..

Britain's survival crisis was in 1940. By December 1941 it had survived, albeit with the help of American aid. Whether it would have thrived and been victorious without American entry is another matter altogether, and of course eventual American entry into the war was monumental and decisive, and anyone with any sense knows that and any gratitude is of course justified by that.

Without the military might of America. We would have lost the war. Britain will always be grateful and thankful to America. God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏

@@Petal4822 How were the Germans going to defeat Britain?.. 'Britain will always be grateful and thankful to America.' I have lived in Britain for over 62 years. On what basis do you claim to speak for Britain?.. God bless Great Britain.

On that same note, villa how exactly would Britain alone (also, let’s remove the massive material support from the US before even entering the war) defeat Germany? Or even pressure them substantially? Do you actually think Britain could have won the war without the help of the US? This isn’t complicated stuff dude. It’s not about “muh Great Britain is superior” or “muh US is superior”. These are just simple facts.

@@johnnyrocketfingers4926 OK dude... lets run through things... The 'massive material support from the US before even entering the war' amounted to 1% of Britai's war needs in 1941. Anything else was bought and paid for. 'Do you actually think Britain could have won the war without the help of the US? ' Yep, I think so. If Britain had kept out of the war on the continent and kept Germany from breaking Britain's stranglehold on German imports from outside of mainland Europe. Russia would have been in Germany by about 1946, at which point Hitler would have been dead due to ill health. His successors would have sued for peace, as did happen in 1945. 'This isn’t complicated stuff dude. It’s not about “muh Great Britain is superior” or “muh US is superior”. These are just simple facts.' Perhaps you should point this out to people speaking at this Second World war museum.
