  1. All I needed to see was that credit was correctly attributed to the UK for the creation of the world's first working proximity fuse. No shortage of clueless, blustering yanks online who believe they won the war alone. The UK also provided what the head of the American OSS described as "the most important cargo to reach our shores during WW2" that being the cavity magnatron, invented by the British scientists Harry Boot & John Randall.... and thats before we even touch on the fact that the much vaunted US "Manhattan Project" was largely underwritten by the world's FIRST nuclear weapons program, that again being the British "Tube Alloys" project.... the British govt "MAUD committee" decided to enter into an exchange of nuclear research with the US, we handed over the complete wealth of our own groundbreaking scientific study, only for the US to then renege on the deal and withhold a large part of their own research from the UK. A very "special relationship" indeed. Great video BTW !!!

  6. A LARGE part of US technology Advancement during WW2 was provided by the British, the Cavity magnetron (Described by the US Office of Strategic Studies as "The MOST important cargo to reach our shores during WW2") of this video being just one example. Other scientific advances that were weedled out of the Britsh empire included the "VT" (proximity) fuse, for more details about the plethora of British technology handed over to the US during WW2 please read about the 1940 "Tizard Mission" The British received no technology from the US in return, but our UK generosity afforded us "preferred status" with access to US industrial might, as they profitteered from the British Empire during WW2. A more cynical mind might describe the situation as "blackmail in our British hour of need". The British also provided the majority of research for the US "Manhattan project" when it handed over the entirety of its prewar British "Tube Alloys" nuclear weapons research to the US ("Tube Alloys" was the world's FIRST nuclear weapons research program, although it is virtually unknown to the world). During WW2 the British and US signed agreements to share the fruits of their entire nuclear research programs with each other... Britain provided it's full share of information, but when it came to the US they reneged and refused to hand over their part. For more information on this please search out and read about "the MAUD committee". The old adage about WW2 was that it was won with Soviet blood, US industrial might and British scientific brains.

  7. Please tell me where there is a sun on the surface of the earth? The means to recreate a small sun on the face of the earth is something that mankind created.

  8. The yawning gaps in your theory are quite stunning.

  9. A MAJOR factor in winning the battle of the Atlantic.... lose the battle of the Atlantic and the war in Europe was lost.

  10. ​ @petefluffy7420  I'd tell you if I was a "seppo" if I knew what one was. Please let me unburden you of your youthful ignorance. Without the UK by 1943 Stalin and STAVKA (look it up) would have been living in a cave in outer Mongolia eating their beetroot soup with wooden spoons. Without the continued opposition of the British empire to nazism after the fall of France in June 1940 (When the whole world expected us to surrender), at a time when both the USSR & the US were only too happy to trade with nazism, there would have been: NO D-Day and war in the Meditteranean to draw sizeable wehrmacht resources from the war on the Eastern Front. NO strategic bombing of German cities and war industries. NO interdiction of German global sea trade by the Royal Navy. NO massive supply of weapons and war materiel from the west to the USSR, once their former allies nazi Germany had turned on them. NO utterly crucial strategic intelligence courtesy of Britain's (not Poland's before you say it) "ULTRA" program. With the result that the USSR would have collapsed somewhere in 1942/43, leaving the nazis in control of the whole of Europe, their extermination camps still operating on European soil into the 1950s, 60s, 70s or even beyond, and the US isolated between a nazi dominated Europe and a Japanese dominated Asia. The USSR were unfortunately the sandbag wall that the German's flung themselves against, without the UK the sandbag wall would have toppled. Please, no thanks is necessary for helping rid you of your cluelessness.

  11. Aww... such naivete... its quite touching really.

  12. Hahahaha... what makes you think its just the UK? Have you been to Paris, Berlin or Washington lately?

  13. Why exactly are you cruising videos such as this then? Doh !!!

  14. And without the theory to direct the program, there would have been no atomic bomb.

  15. Thats some quite ignorant BS... It's quite brave of you to display such idiocy in public.

  16.  @alienspace1  There's utterly NO doubting the cost and sacrifice to the USSR during WW2, BUT Without the continued opposition of the British empire and later western allies to nazism from June 1940 onwards, opposition which bankrupted the UK and cost her 460,000 of her citizen's lives, there would have been: NO D-Day and war in the Meditteranean to draw sizeable wehrmacht resources from the war on the Eastern Front. NO strategic bombing of German cities and war industries. NO interdiction of German global sea trade by the Royal Navy. NO massive supply of weapons and war materiel from the west to the USSR, once their former allies nazi Germany had turned on them. NO utterly crucial strategic intelligence courtesy of Britain's (not Poland's before you say it) "ULTRA" program to the soviets. With the result that the USSR would have collapsed somewhere in 1942/43, leaving the nazis in control of the whole of Europe, and their extermination & concentration camps still operating on European soil into the 1950s, 60s, 70s or even beyond, and Stalin & his high command sitting in a cave in Mongolia eating their beetroot soup with a shared wooden spoon. To dismiss the western war effort is to deny the influence it had on the eastern front, and without that influence the world would be a VERY much different (and even DARKER) place than it is today.

  17. The shell was being placed into an automatic "fuse setter" which set the shell fuse to detonate at a preselected time which late in the war was calculated by radar and passed to the fuse setter by a mechanical computer. Prior to this the job was done manually to each individual shell by a man with a "C" spanner !!!
