  14.  jeanluc305  It was not German territory. The Irish want us in. Most Irish in Ulster want to be in the UK. It was Britain's business when a country invades another for no reason. The British said, "if you invade Poland or Romania, you are a war with us." Simple. Their choice.

  26. Frozen Fire The Germans were stopped in the west. over the skies of England in 1940. The Germans were stopped in the east. at Moscow in 1941. The Germans were on the run after two simultaneous battles: - El Alemein; - Stanlingrad.

  27. Yes. For two years the well supplied Germans, from nearby Italy, and their allies, tried for two years to defeat the British and failed.

  38. WDTA UT Wrong. All German objectives failed. The most a base was out of action was about 3 to 4 hours. They failed: - To bomb London as they would have like to; - To destroy the radar installations; - To destroy Fighter Command;

  41. The Mosquito was not operational as it came later. The Mosquito could outrace German fighters and dog fight with them. It had the same load bomb load as a B-17 as well.

  42. "Much has been made of the disparity in German and British aircraft production during the critical months of the Battle of Britain. In the second half of 1940, desperate efforts on the part of the British enabled them to produce twice as many fighters as the Germans, which was no doubt reassuring in giving the RAF an extra margin of security. But this was hardly decisive to the outcome of the battle. The fundamental point was simple: in 1940 neither Britain nor Germany had developed the technology nor had they mobilized the resources necessary to provide the kind of smothering air superiority that would make a cross-Channel invasion into a viable proposition." - Wages of Destruction by Prof Adam Tooze

  43. Alan Moore That is why British planes were mostly forbidden to fight over the sea. The pilots could bail out over land.

  44. It is hopelessly inaccurate. It does not even mention Monty's first battle against Rommel - Alem el Halfa, when Rommel outnumbered Monty. Monty outfoxed him and won. Monty beat Rommel in every event Rommel attacked him.

  45.  @JohnPutnamalwayslearning  From day one the Royal Navy formed a ring around the Axis positioning ships from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Arctic off Norway, blockading the international trade of the Axis. This deprived the Axis of vital human and animal food, oil, rubber, metals, and other vital resources. By 1941 the successful Royal Navy blockade had confined the Italian navy to port due to lack of oil. By the autumn of 1941 Germany's surface fleet was confined to harbour, by the British fleet and the chronic lack of fuel. A potential German invasion from the the USSR in the north into the oil rich Middle East entailed expanded British troop deployment to keep the Germans away from the oil fields, until they were defeated at Stalingrad. Throughout 1942 British Commonwealth troops were fighting, or seriously expecting to be attacked, in: ♦ French North Africa; ♦ Libya; ♦ Egypt; ♦ Cyprus; ♦ Syria: where an airborne assault was expected, with preparations to reinforce Turkey if they were attacked; ♦ Madagascar: fighting the Vichy French to prevent them from inviting the Japanese in as they had done in Indochina; ♦ Iraq; ♦ Iran: the British & Soviets invaded Iran in August 1941. Those spread-out covering troops were more in combined numbers than were facing Japan and Rommel in North Africa. Look up the German Mesopotamia plan. If the Germans did defeat the Soviets in the south of the USSR, the British were waiting to stop them getting at the magic, and vital, oil and linking up with the Japanese. This documentary is complete garbage.

  46. The Japanese sailed a whole fleet 3,000 miles in mid winter. It went totally undetected. It then launched a surprise attack on a naval base wiping out most of a fleet. Impressive. Buffoonery on the US part.

  50. My Fake Name Monty won Normandy controlling all armies. At D-Day plus 90 they were ahead with 22% less casualties than predicated. He took command of two shambolic US armies at the Bulge effectively winning the battle.
