Britain at War in Colour The Beginning of the End part 3

[bigjobs5000]

It's a sad thing that industrial nations with military strength will always clash at some point for dominance.

[bigjobs5000]

What's all this about Harry Potter? Stick to the subject please.

[baycast]

Disappointing part 3 will not work, and part 6 of the Two Winstons. 

[Bucina62]

Ge0rge Can you fix this please

[pscontent]

Any chance of fixing this---"An error has occurred, please try again later" ?

[Strawberry7Lynn]

"An error has occurred, please try again later". That message has been here awhile for this (part 3) reel, unfortunately. Can't watch the rest of the show.

Germany and Britain should have never clashed, we were the greatest nations in the world

[AntoniusMUC]

@thegreatempire3

yes indeed. Germany crushed the British Empire and got destroyed by the armies of the hole world. If we had been worked together nor the US would become superpower and even not USSR. Some things went wrong....definitly...

...we are the same blood and the old tribes of saxons, angles and jutes came from Germany long time ago.

[199520002002]

GB would have lost if they hadn´t cried for help to USA and USSR. These "saved" Britain, which Germany never wanted to conquer. Germany fought ALONE - so they lost the war, but at least weren´t the auxilliary troop for others. GB didn´t fight for "freedom" or Polish Jews (rather American ones) but for power - and gambled it away. GB was exhausted after the war, USA was the laughing winner. That was not your "finest hour" but the "beginning of the end" of British world position.

two world wars and one world cup doo dah doo dah two world wars and one world cup oh doo dah day!!

[neoublie67]

Very few people in Britain think that 'we' won the war - the 'finest hour' is a reference to Britain's standing alone in 1940. Survival is what mattered. That Britain lost its Empire to save the world from something far worse is what makes us proud. Question: would you prefer to have our history or your history?

[celticlofts]

The notion that Britain gave up its empire to save anybodys ass is laughable. Britain lost its empire because it couldnt afford to keep it either militarily or financially. And to answer your question as to whos history I would rather have, its the good old USA any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Because without the USA your country would have lost the war.

you silly Scotsman

[dootguy86]

that is such a stupid comment if it weren't for the russians who took the brunt of germany's fury we all would be speaking german, thats y britain and america left berlin to the russians.

[MegaBrits]

Utter rubbish, your a sorry loser. I have great admiration for Germany and I believe Britain and Germany were the world greatest nations (and should have never clashed).

The world leaders today are pathetic by German + British comparison.

[Malaka57]

Oh all your revisionist claptrap... No Germany did not fight alone. Most neighbors simply wanted peace and quiet (and many Germans too), but no, they had to be invaded by a bunch of frustrated, boorish Nazis. No Germany didn't ask for help, she simply stole everything, enslaved anyone and anybody, pranced around like a hysterical prince and was finally defeated. You should hang your head in shame for your sheer stupidity. Go crawl into your mediocre hole and read some history. Idiot.

[diadorim1234]

gb didnt cry for help to usa. hitler declared war on the us. besides the battle of britain was (all ifs and buts aside) won by the british.

"That was not your "finest hour" but the "beginning of the end" of British world position"

you might as well replace the word britain with germany.

[thegreatempire3]

your correct Britain won the battle of Britain without America! we rule!

[Aled29]

Hitler didn't declare war on USA, Japan declared war on the USA and then the USA declared war on Germany after helping Britain for 2-3 years.

[diadorim1234]

go and watch harry potter

[Aled29]

seen it. the books are better though.

:S

[RandomPlayIist]

@diadorim1234

Actually Churchill, in many talks with Roosevelt, requested help from the United States.

Either way there's no need for you guys from the UK and US to argue, you're allies and you endured.

[samdeaner]

You are totally incorrect. Fascist Italy fought with Germany until October 13th 1943 and Japan (another German ally) provoked the US to formally enter the war. Together they signed the Ani-Comintern Pact in 1938, demonstrating their alliance. Germany didn't fight ALONE. You're wrong Britain fought for power? Britain and France promised aid to Poland should Germany invade. They did albeit some time after they declared war. You suggest Britain fought for power-what did the Nazis fight for exactly?

[ScreechBritishGuardi]

i am italian and if it was not for the british soldiers who lost their lives,our country would have been overtaken by the nazis and the italian fascists...glory and everlasting memory to those british men...glory to the uk
