  1.  @TennesseeHomesteadUSA  The opposite being true.

  2. Please provide us with details of the details of the luftwaffe air assaults on Canberra, Ottawa, Delhi and Wellington? Or how the Wehrmacht stood poised to launch its invasion of the Indian sub continent? Or how the Kriegsmarine attempted to strangle "the British Empire" out of the war by enforcing a u-boat blockade of Australia and New Zealand? Oh news just coming in...... NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED because the only nation subjected to ALL of those threats by the nazis between July 1940 and April 1941 was GREAT BRITAIN ALONE. No need to thank me for unburdening you of your complete cluelessness.

  3. Forgive "Jeremy" above... his carers are unaware he has gotten access to the computer. They have been informed and "jeremy" will shortly be returned to his strait jacket.

  4.  @mikespikeey4625  You'll be going hungry waiting for "my EV" to burst into flames. I've not been duped into buying one of those evolutionary dead end vehicles.

  6. Without the aid of the west, Stalin would have been sat in a cave in outer Mongolia eating his borscht with a wooden spoon in 1943.

  9. The Germans considered there to be a slim chance of pulling it off, as witnessed by their assembly of 2500 invasion barges and hundreds of other craft converted to operate with amphibious forces.

  10. Reasonable assertion. Just to correct one point, Bismarck's "kriegstagebuch" (war diary) was not recovered. Group west directing the operation assigned U-556 to close on Bismarck and recover her war diary, but due to lack of fuel U-556 passed over the task to U-74. Due to the presence of the RN U-74 was unable to carry out the task. When it became apparent that no u-boat would be able to retrieve the war diary, Lütjens then ordered that the war diary plus a number of mail sacks of "last letters home" from Bismarck's crew be loaded into one of her Arado AR-196 float planes which was to attempt a one way mission to France. On loading and readying the plane, it was discovered that one of the hits on Bismarck from HMS Prince of Wales 3 days earlier had irreparably damaged the catapult system, and so this attempt too was abandoned, the plane unloaded and then tipped overboard. After the end of "Rhineübung" the German Seekriegsleitung "naval command" constructed a "war diary" for Bismarck from all sources it had available to it such as the war diary of Prinz Eugen and accounts from the 3 Bismarck survivors the Germans rescued, to see what lessons could be drawn from the failed operation, though I think the most obvious lesson was "Don't send German surface raiders out into the Atlantic again".

  11. Just not a brotherhood led by the European branch of globalism, the EUSSR.

  12.  @bobsakamanos4469  Why add the phrase "Despite the Poles and Czech's best efforts"? The highest hurricane kill tally in the battle of Britain was that of British Sergeant pilot James "Ginger" Lacey flying with 501 Sqd.

  13.  @bobsakamanos4469  Where's you evidence that the Poles alone "raised the Hurricane overall kill ratio". EVERY Hurricane squadron in Fighter Command raised the "overall kill ratio".
    1
  14.  @bobsakamanos4469  They were good quality pilots, but that quality was not because of their Polish training regime, or some form of superior Polish spacial awareness, but simply due to the fact that all the mediocre, poor & less resourceful Polish pilots had already been "filtered out" of the Polish aircrew cadre by 2 previous campaigns and by having had to make their way right across Europe living on their wits. The Polish pilots flying in the battle of Britain were the creme of the prewar PAF and not a random selection, which in Poland had been hammered out of existence within days of the start of the campaign. Set against that "filtration process" was the fact that they had less experience in British fighter aircraft, and the world beating British air defence system, so that while they were more able than novice British pilots then replacing battle losses, they were completely average when compared to experienced pilots of other nations.... as is testified to by the highest kill tallies achieved during the battle. Top RAF Fighter Command "kill tallies" during the battle of Britain. Flt Lt Eric Stanley Lock (English) - 21½ confirmed kills (in Spitfires) Sgt James Harry Lacey (English) - 18 confirmed kills. (In Hurricanes) Flt Lt Archie Ashmore McKellar (Scottish) - 17½ confirmed kills. (In spitfires) Sgt Josef František (Czechoslovakian) - 17 confirmed kills. (In Hurricanes) Pilot Off Colin Falkland Gray (New Zealand) - 15½ confirmed kills. (In Spitfires) Fl Off Brian Carbury (New Zealand) - 15½ confirmed kills (In Spitifres) Flt Lt Witold Urbanowicz (Poland) - 15 confirmed kills. (In Hurricanes) I assume you will also roll out the " 303 was the highest scoring squadron during the battle" statement, but while you do that you will need to look into that fact more deeply. Polish "Kościuszko" 303 Sqd total kill tally - 58.5 confirmed kills (NOT the 127 CLAIMED kills widely quoted.) Which included the confirmed kills of the following pilots. Squadron commander, Sqd Ldr Ronald Gustave Kellett (British) - 5 confirmed kills "A" Flight commander, Fl Lt John Alexander Kent (Canadian) - 6 confirmed kills "B" Flight commander, Fl Lt Athol Stanhope Forbes (British) - 7 confirmed kills. Sgt pilot Josef František (Czechoslovakian) - 17 confirmed Kills. The only pilots being disparaged in all of this are the British pilots, who you appear to be trying to portray as somehow generally less able than other pilots. P.S Where are you getting this "very poor Hurricane kill ratio" nonsense from?

  19. Pity that the USN aircraft carriers found the cauldron of the Mediterranean too hot for their liking.... mind you with their wooden decks and so much land based enemy aircraft coverage it was best for them that they stayed away.... It took the armored carriers of the RN to take on and complete the task there....

  20. That's incorrect, at this point in time the UK Govt had not been fungally infested with corporate globalist puppets, and instead acted in the best interests of its own economy and people.... the fungal infection of globalism started to rot the world from the 1960s onwards.

  33. There were NO luftwaffe bombers over the skies of New Delhi, Ottawa, Canberra or Wellington in 1940. Britain was the sole recipient of the full might of the Luftwaffe in summer 1940.

  37. The unfortunate fact is that our parents/Grandparents/G Grandparents fought for us and future generations to have the freedom to think how we want. My own father fought 6 years in the Royal Navy during WW2, and I was ALWAYS interested in his (and his friends) stories, but while my own kids were respectful of his experiences (before he passed away in 2013) but the truth be known they are totally uninterested in 20th century history, and pain me though it does to see my ancestor's efforts fade into nothingness (one of my my grandfathers fought in WW1), that is the nature of freedom. My main effort with my kids is to try to ensure they THINK FOR THEMSELVES and do NOT allow themselves to be hoodwinked by today's globalist MSM, and to arrive at their own conclusions about any subject that interests them.

  38. All so much useless conjecture as the two ships did not at any point share the world's oceans.

  39. Now you understand how Russians and other former soviet nations feel about their own FAR more costly struggles during WW2, and how it has generated immense pride in their own national sacrifices.

  40. The west won't be happy until they have installed a Russian leader who is pliable in the hands of global corporatism.... trillions of dollars of almost virgin resources within Russia that is just waiting to be raped by the globalist corporations.

  41. V/Adm Holland in HMS Hood had maintained strict radio and radar silence on his approach to intercept the German ships. The upside of this was the German's complete ignorance of (and lack of evasive action to avoid) the approach of major units of the RN. The downside was that V/Adm Holland was not able to radio his estimated time of interception, or his intended actions to the two shadowing RN heavy cruisers. Therefore when the big guns opened up at 5:52am on the morning of the 24th May, Wake-Walker in command of the 2 shadowing heavy cruisers had to immediately race to gain gunnery range, but as they were already shadowing at high speed the rate of closing was very small, with the result that they were not in a position to take an active part in the engagement before it was all over.

  44.  @dovetonsturdee7033  My English lit GCE (I know we're around the same age category) was the ONLY qualification I ever failed in... gaining a execrable "U" grade. I did walk out of the exam after 10 minutes though. "Twelfth Night" and "A tale of two cities" killed my interest in literature for probably twenty years.

  48. No, they FAILED in their effort and so went after Russia....At the time of their effort to crush the UK, the USSR was happily supplying the nazis with MILLIONS of tons of food fuel and raw materials...and they STILL couldn't beat us.

  49. "England was a country in the British army" was it? I'll have to note that down for future reference.
