It was nice of the Americans and British to show up for last orders at the tail end of WW2 after the Russians had done the lions share of the fighting. Even after sitting on their arses for four years they still had a hard time fighting heavily depleted fuel and ammunition starved divisions, old men and boys in France.

My father fought in WW2 and was in the British Navy - Fleet Air Arm - flying fighter air-cover for convoys in the Med out of North Africa, for those years you claim he was sat in England twiddling his thumbs playing cricket. Your utter shlt is so risible it likely shouldn't even be responded to. You are a pathetic little keyboard warrior making light of the efforts and sacrifice of your incomparable betters, you insufferable and pathetic little dlpshlt of a troll.

You are a bit grumpy.hope you feel better soon. Fact is the Americans and the Brits strut around claiming it was they that won WW2, they didn't, it was the Soviet Union that did the bulk of the work.

Germany invaded Poland in September 1939. Britain declares war on Germany 1939.

Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets weren't helping in any war effort so much as being just being assholes in the Baltics and other neighbours.

The Axis powers invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. This is when the Soviets joined the Allies. The USA joined the war in December 1941 - 6 months after the Soviets.

I'm not sure where you get your information from but, assuming that you're recalling it correctly, it looks like you're getting information from sources that are less than truthful and it's leaving you with a world-view that doesn't line up well with reality. This wouldn't be a big deal long ago but you're repeating this nonsense to the entire world and it doesn't look great.

Not sure why we left this open, it's pure Politics, and weird at that. Thread closed, there's plenty in the Cafe and Politics to discuss Putin etc.
