  2. Creepypasta Tales and without Britain not surrendering and carrying on the fight, and without the supplies to Russia and the bases off Europe for D-day and the invasion of Italy, neither Russia nor America would've been able to defeat Germany

  3. Tha Phenom he didn't 'allow' jack shit, his tank divisions needed to rest, regroup and re-arm after weeks of non-stop fighting and had been held up considerably by a combination of British and French tank units counter-attacking them and, more importantly having left much of their infantry and support units behind in their lightning advances, and those they WERE still in contact with were badly over-stretched; the allied rearguard were also strongly holding their ground and would need a massive push by a combined German force to break through, rather than just the leading tank divisions, and the Dunkirk evacuation was largely complete by the time they were able to assemble such a force and break through

  6. Jonathan every one of those cities had thousands of soldiers and Nazi leaders and officials in and around it too, living in barracks, training and on leave; and more importantly many had docks, factories, assembly plants, construction yards, ammunition dumps and oil reservoirs ALSO in and around them, vital to the German war machine, had these not been continually bombed night after night, day after day Nazi Germany could well have been unstoppable. Bomb-sights were not very accurate back then, whether the British were deliberately trying to kill civilians back then or not there would have been no way to bomb military-only targets WITHOUT collateral damage. Also it was hardly only such targets the Germans bombed nor was it only one city, they bombed every major British city within reach and, as they became more desperate toward the end of the war just started lobbing unguided cruise missiles at Britain in general

  7. Well if that's all we're talking about here the Germans started it by 'accidentally' bombing London, ostensibly due to the flight of bombers responsible having gotten lost (although needless to say I find this hard to believe as did the British at the time), despite having previously been forbidden from doing so; the first British bombing raid on Berlin was in direct response to this, which in turn made the enraged Germans start bombing British cities directly- something they had, aside from that one 'accident' not been previously doing but had instead been bombing specifically military targets outside the big cities especially airfields and harbours. Their stopping doing this and instead turning on the civilians not only did nothing to dent the British will to fight on and, in fact made them want vengeance all the more, it was a key reason for the Battle Of Britain being won as it gave the RAF the breathing space they needed

  8. Quits cardinal Man well good for him 😊 my grandfathers on both my mother's and father's sides came back across the channel again right with him so our forefathers walked a lot of the same blood-stained ground

  9. osmosis453 well we're taught about it but it's not a massive thing the way it seems to be over there, historically the Napoleonic Wars that came not long after ARE more important after all and overshadow the revolution in our education and national conciousness accordingly, or at least that's how it was for me
