‘LOL. That’s explains your silliness.’
Pointing out that America did not ‘save’ Britain in ww2 (or ww1) and that such notions are simply bad history is silly?.
‘That’s actually funny. The UK was on the ropes, and but for US industry and men would have lost.’
Crap.
Firstly, whilst Britain without America (and Canada) could not have landed in Normandy or Italy/Sicily, neither could Germany and the Axis defeat the British.
The Battle of Britain had been a failure, the British had mauled the Italians at sea, in the air and on land, and the Germans had failed even by 1941 and American entry to ww2, to have won the Battle of the Atlantic (which was btw a mostly British-Canadian battle, and the initial USN tactics in 1942 by Adm King almost lost the allies the battle....)
Secondly, are you aware that 79% of all ships and 50% of all planes on D-Day were British?. That American troops on D-Day were landed by the Royal Navy?. As were most American troops in Algeria in 1942 and Sicily and Italy in 1943.
So the Americans, who supposedly ‘saved’ us, could never have defeated Hitler if they hadnt had the damn Limeys to land them there in the first place.
And I havent even mentioned PLUTO, the Bailey Bridge or the Mulberry Harbours, again all British.
Lastly, even IF Britain had been ‘saved’, your reply shows the usual astonishing American arrogance and ignorance about the allies that Britain had in WW2.
Far from relying on America, we had Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and the whole of the British Empire. White, black, brown and asian. From Canada to Australia, Hong Kong to the Caribbean. From Malta and Cyprus to the Falklands.
You didnt forget that we still in 1940 had an empire that spanned the globe, and had hundreds of millions within it, did you?. Over FIVE MILLION of whom fought with the British in WW2.
Our biggest supplier of arms and material in WW2?. America?. Nope. CANADA. Who also gave the UK six BILLION dollars in ‘Mutual Aid’.
And most of our imports came from the Empire. Rubber from Malaya, lamb from NZ etc.
America HELPED Britain.
BUT it didnt ‘save’ it.
I would make the case that Poles may have saved Britain even more than the US, since their pilots played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain.
