      Was it not the Soviets that did that? But I’m sure there’s some aristocratic British twat that would like to take credit for it.

        It was a joint effort. The classic saying “WWII was won with British intelligence, American manufacturing and Soviet blood”. Neither of the three would’ve been able to do it alone. Of course the losses were disproportionate, America gained massively economically from the war while Russia and Britain sustained losses.

          True. Figures if you’re getting your ass blitzed by an opponent you’ll have the most inside knowledge on them.

          Many nations were liberated thanks to the Nazi spanking of the Brits, as evil as the Nazis were.

          The Brits were starving the colonies then (ie. comitting genocide), akin to the current day starvation of Gazans by Zionists.

          The world is an interesting and complicated place. Amazing how good can come from evil, even if unintended.
