Victory over Japan, VJ Day is August 15 Japan , and because of the time difference August 14 1945 in the U.S. On September 2 1945 a formal surrender ceremony was performed in Tokyo , Japan, aboard the battleship USS Missouri. WWII was over. 63 Million people died in WWII: Russia 23,954,000, Gt Britain 449,800 and US. 418,500. NY Lost 31,215, PA 26,554, IL 18,601, CA 17,022, TX 15,765. WWI, the War to end all Wars 35 Million died. Vietnam 1.7 Million Americans died. We never learn.
Not until January 1944 (after 5 years of British fighting in places like Africa, India, Singapore, Malaya, Hong Kong, Burma) were B29s heavy bombers developed to reach Tokyo. In Okinawa 12,000 US troops died. In Luzon, MacArthur had 40,000 casualties. The American Invasion of Tokyo was scheduled for March 1946 but everyone knew it would be another bloodbath. Instead, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit with Atomic bombs on August 6th and 9th 1946 and on August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered.
On December 19 1944, 2 of 3 Regiments of the U.S. 106th Infantry Division were over run and surrendered in the early days of the Battle of the Bulge, the largest battlefield surrender of US. troops in WWII, and the US. 6th Army fell back and lost Strasburg to the Germans. It was not until the US First and Ninth and British troops worked together that they pulled through the Battle of the Bulge, the 2nd major turning point of war in Eurooe. Victory in Europe, VE Day, is May 8 1945.
In January 1942 the U.S. arrived in the British Isles but did not go to war for a year, hated by the Brits and Canadians. It was not until D Day, June 6 1944, that finally US. and British troops joined forces to run Operation Overlord, the first major turning point of the war in Europe.
Singapore fell January 31 1942, 42 days after the U.S. entered the war, with British troops exhausted from just having fought in Malaya. A year later, 1943, the U.S. with similar insurmountable odds, like the Brits in Singapore, American garrisons fell to the Japanese and in
Guadal Canal (Buna) and Papua New Guinea, the U.S. suffered resounding losses.
WWII began September 1 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Germany and France and the British Empire jumped in to declare war on Germany while the US remained Isolationist, looking after themselves, until Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese on December 7 1941, over
The British Empire was established in the early 16 and 17th centuries, the largest Empire in history, 458 Million people. At the end of WWII, 400 years, 4 Centuries later, Britain with other European countries decolonized. The Territories were granted Independence and 54 countries, former territories, voluntarily joined Britain and the Commonwealth of nations.
The British did horribly in WW2 and the fall of Singapore is a prime example. They had poor leadership and no resolve to fight, which resulted in them constantly retreating and surrendering. See also Dunkirk and the Battle for Caen, where the British couldn't hold up their part of the Normandy invasion. Without the help of the US and USSR, they would have lost.
"LOL Like you Brits gave a shit about Humanity when the Japanese were raping and butchering in China for 10 years !" Couldn't have said it any better. And British peoples really are useless and insecure and in denial, thats what happens when American culture dominates you country for so many years and years to come! 51st state anyone???
LOL " how long can you fags last without our help. its only a matter of time before Hitler's cronies march in front of the big ben. You brits are just plain lucky to survive a little while longer, hiding behind your channel. The truth is brits cant fight for shit. The only thing you guys know is to held fanciful parades with your retarded senile queen and british football is the gayest shit ever, its for pussies with short dicks" LOL i sooo agreeee
Also it was the US who pumped shit load of money into your shitty rainy boring country and basically babysit you and western europe during the cold war. British are pale and ugly and only good for following America to her wars!
Now fuck you all, stop with the racist comments. WW2 happened years ago, let the past be jsut that, the past. Can't we all watch a video without degrading into low-class comments about each other's race, country, and whatsoever? .
There is a 444 years CURSE on JAPAN for pimp Hirohito family and those un-repenting japs. More tsunamis, earthquakes and economic depression will punish japs for their brutality towards the Chinese in WWII.
What's happening in Fuckushima is only the beginning of what is to come.
With respect to anti-war japanese, the rest of the evil japs who supported their pimp cum drugs cartel emperor and his associates. The film footage on atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are spectacularly beautiful. If the third bomb planned for Tokyo was dropped, it will be wonderful !!
Guess what the japs had done to deserve such a destructive pain.
@BigDon62 The British seriously deserved their arse to be kicked in this battle, if you truly understood how the British high command in Britain regarded about their enemy. They could careless about the locals and many fled and ONLY caucasians were given priority to evacuate. Even Churchill could care less about the locals in the colonial terroritories. The locals placed their trust on their colonial masters and they disappointed them big time.
@TheJunfong I don't hate the Japanese and I'm from Singapore. Fail to forget and to forgive, fail to move on in life. Stop driving by the looking at the rear view mirror!
@albertyu25 From what I know, Singaporeans relied too much on the Brits. When they left you, you didn't take arms and fight the Japanese. Instead you fell for the Asiatic for Asians propaganda crap that the Japs used. So no, we didn't hear you roar.
Read The Singapore Grip by J. G. Farrell, it's a historical novel about the capture of Singapore from both civilian and military perspectives. It goes into great strategic detail on how the downfall occurred.
Wow. Not a single mention of the Australian Army who also formed a significant part of the ALLIED effort in Malaya and Singapore. Not surprising coming from a US made (and biased) 'documentary'. Ignoring them is shameful and disrespectful. Get your facts straight.
A big thumbs down and I'm not even going to watch the other two parts of this series.
The Japs were sly, The British were too busy in Europe,Africa and the Japs knew the Singapore was an easy target. The British & Commonwealth forces were betrayed, they should have been pulled out.
@LovefuckChinkcunt It's a pity that Britain had to fight Hitler. If we only had to deal with Japan, we would have turned Japan into a nice British colony. We would have improved Japan. You have, after all, stolen British ideas, which is why you are civilized today. If you had become our colony, we would have improved you even further.
@LovefuckChinkcunt And why did you even have warships to fight us the first place? Because you stole our ideas and our scientific knowledge. Japan has built it's entire success from stealing British ideas. That is what makes Japan better than the shitholes in Asia like Saudi Arabia.
@TheLiberalKnight they did deal with Japan in Singapore..ther rest is history.Brits got their butts kicked but good.Now go eat your fish n' chips wanker.
i learn that the attack from Japan is a bluff.they only have 300 000 mens in the troop and General Yamashita will be outnumbered by the british army.He always been afraid of British
During WW2, the british were very busy to handle Germany in Europe..therefore their troops in Malaya and Singapore are damn coward and tamefull..also i can say useless..thanks to the Malay Regiment Army..
@JapanHokkaidoBoy Respect for what? Maybe Japan has done things worthy of respect, but murdering prisoners and killing doctors, nurses and patients in hospital isn't one of them. The actions of some Japanese troops brought shame on your country which is still remembered more strongly than any 'victories'
@VictumRoManius Only people of certain nationalities should have opinions? What a strange attitude. No massacres are honorable. Rape, murder and brutality towards civilians and POWs is shameful. JapanHokkaidoBoy is the first person I've met who thinks this sort of behaviour demands respect.
@JapanHokkaidoBoy well if someone came, slaugthered your family, tortured your friends, burn down your house. Would you feel respect for them? LOLLLLLLLLLL we were doing better without the invasion...
@JapanHokkaidoBoy WTF??? so you're saying that we occupied singapore to free (...) those chinks in singapore from their UK conquerors??? HELL NO. we just occupied singapore to gain our territorial zone nothing more. what shamelessness comment!
The british also sent desert warfare trained troops to singapore and malaya lol, Desert warfare trained troops against jungle warfare veterans? who will win, and most of the japanese troops are veterans as they have fought 4 to 5 years in china already.
@nakatabrother define desert trained troops as to trained troops in in general....all trained troops are soldiers at the ready..that killed all your troops everywhere.......................no offence
@Arcusinoz Desert warfare trained troops are trained to fight in deserts i noe that all troops are trained to kill , but u see environment in desert is diff then jungle when i say that i am trained in jungle warfare that means i specialize in jungle warfare , i noe where to hide, what angle or how far forward to aim, cauz every environments humidity, temperature, wind , is dfferent in desert, ur covers sands and blankets to cover urself whe nur taking enemy fires, in jungle u depend on hiding
@Arcusinoz Also the japanese troops are well trained veterans that have alot of combat experience, the british soldiers are mostly rookies,And the biggest reason the british lost is because of their general, their general is the worst ever, he cant even talk properly, when the british troops blew up the causeway, they stayed on the other side, but the general told them to retreat before the japs came, if they stayed and wait for them to come and ambushed them, the japs wouldve took heavy loses
@nakatabrother Your a very strange person,"he cant even talk properly", " mostly rookies", "when the british troops blew up the causeway they stayed on the other side"???????
The main problem with this rubbish alleged history video is that it keeps focusing on the "British Army" not the Australian army.The Australian army inflicted significant losses on the Japanese army with repeated ambushes, the Australian army was trained for jungle warfare, it was the British commanders who surrendered Singapore.Thats why Australian troops will never ever be commanded by a non Australian commander.
@Arcusinoz Well i understand u , thegeneral taking charge of defence of singapore was a crappy general, and Singapore was not considered priority for resuppliment, all the scraps that arent used was sent to singapore and i underestand the austrailian troops were the people inflicting the damage but also the malaya troops, the general is a retard, the malaya soldiers held bukit hill until no more bullets and took their bayonets and charged down the hill, and general percival surrendered singapore
Sir tom phiillips was an idiot he didnt beleive in air power, there were RAAF(Australian) squadrons available for his ships defence but he didnt think it was necessary.
@JapanHokkaidoBoy And the japanese invaded malaya for some other reasons than to take away all their resources and kill off as many peeople as possible.Get a grip war is never any good for anybody, and in your case the war left your country ruined.
@JapanHokkaidoBoy WOW you are some sick little idiot,on your page you ACTUALLY state that the women of china(nanking etc) ACTUALLY asked the japanese soldiers to have an ORGY with them???? you must be some sort of twisted nationalist.the women were raped repeatedly by jap sodiers and then killed
You are correct the british was still using Bi planes while the Lufwaffe had monoplanes. The reason for the striking success of the German Blitzreig is that it had air supremacy. I belive the british destroyed the Luffwaffe and the German Navy. Whereas the Russians destroyed the German army. In the end the US supplied the allies so they won..The Germans couldnt replace their losses. If they could history could have been very diffrent.
@grikes3838 Well the Germans made a string of mistakes and bad decisions. But there are so many factors that played a roll in the eventual defeat of Germany. It's impossible to isolate just a few as the main cause of their defeat.
everything seems fated. had there not any WWII, I tihnk today, asian and africa are still under the European control. this goes to show, what goes up must come down one day
I lived in singapore and read bout many history of war. i still dun know y singapore deserved this, if i were living during the war, i would rather die for my country then surrendering.
British forces in singapore were not prepared for modern warfare THEY HAD WW1 EQUIPMENT! They beleived they could easy keep the jap forces away THEY UNDERESTIMATED THERE ENEMY! just like in northern france 1940 And they paid the ultimate price this time the worst defeat in british military history THE JAPS WERE SAVAGERS IN WAR they commited some of the worst war crimes in HISTORY!
The British were cowards and did not fight ! As a consequence the Japanese were free to rape the Philippines and the Butchery or Americans ! THE BRITS WERE USELESS THEN AND THEY ARE USELESS NOW AS ALLIES !
@starcatcher77777 British were cowards?? YOUR A FOOL!! The British could have fought on for maybe a few weeks until they run out of resources supplies and Ammo then what?? You expect the British forces to fight off the Japs with sticks and stones??? The British knew there Navy could not support them in the Pacific and there Air-Force whitch was tied up in Britain and Africa and India,Burma. The British couldnt have won it would have been impossible the Japs had man-power air-power sea-power
Yes they could have but they did NOT : That is exactly my point ! As a result of the BRITISH COWARDICE HOW MANY AMERICANS and Philippinos HAD TO PAY IN THE Philippines HOW many ? LMAO THE GIBRALTER OF THE EAST ! Typical USELESS Brits !
@starcatcher77777 Your a fool!! The British wernt cowards!! They faced defeat no matter what they didnt have air-power and resorces they would have ran out ammo and men and food within weeks. The British forces were all in Britain,Africa,India etc tied up in the war with germany and italy. The sly Japs would have won anyway. And how were the British useless??? You need to research history Britain useless HAHAHA
@starcatcher77777 YOUR DUMB!! I said IF THE BRITISH had fought they would have ran out of Ammo and supplies and food they couldnt fight. The British forces were all tied up in Britain,Africa,Middle-East,India,Burma they were over stretched and couldnt have fought a war in the Pacific.
LOL They would have run out of AMMO IF THEY HAD FOUGHT ! I dont know what you define useless as but I would suggest that your observation makes "British and Useless" sublime !
@starcatcher77777 And as for the British useless Allies you havnt got a clue without the British world war 2 there would have been no western front in africa,italy,western europe. And today Britain is still great and loyal allies look at the Gulf?? And Iraq and Afghan. Look at there wars since world war 2.
Why dont you look at ALL the Battles ! Who do you think fed and armed Monte ! Who do you think took N Africa ? Who do you think Drove the NAZIs out ? Monte ? LMAO THE BRITISH ARE NOT ALLIES THEY ARE COLLABORATORS ! LOOK AT BASRA AND HELMUND Provence ! Look ass wipe all whose these former British Colonies kicked out ! duh The USA is now cleaning up the British Global mess and the British show up and suck their Bachi Boys Cocks and call it winning hearts and minds !
@starcatcher77777 YOUR DUMB! I said IF THE BRITISH had fought the Japs in singapore they would have been defeated they didnt stand a chance, They would have ran out Ammo,supplies,resources,food they didnt have Air-support or Navy support they didnt stand a chance. They would have lasted weeks maybe months. And yes U.S did supply the British. And it was British who had the Axis on full retreat after the Battle of Al Alamein without U.S military support!!
@starcatcher77777 It was the British who defeated the Axis Alliance in N.Africa after the Battle of Al Alamein the Axis were on full retreat. When U.S forces arrived the Axis were running away or been taken prisoner! Monte won N.Africa. And Basra was a mistake by the goverment who failed to send troops and resources and supplies the soldiers were outnumbered and didnt have the resources and supplies. But they put up a hell of a fight!
You think so ? Why dont you look up American aid to Monte's 8th army and then look up Paton + North Africa!
BASRA was a mistake by your Government for not sending resources ?? YOU MEAN THEY DID NOT SEND TROOPS WITH BALLS AND A SPINE ? THERE WAS NO FIGHT BY THE BRITISH ! Just sucking bachi boys cocks trying to win harts and minds like your Lord Chamberlain did to Hitler and your David Cameron does to Muslims !
@starcatcher77777 My point is that the British forces were tied up in Europe and Africa fighting the Axis Alliance ALONE! There forces were over stretched and tied up. They had no chance fighting a war in the Pacific aswell as the sly Japs knew this. They couldnt supply them with resources and extra troops etc etc. They struggled to even feed there forces in India and Burma fighting the Jpas the British were over stretched and couldnt support its troops in the East.
@starcatcher77777 And as i have said America was where Britain got most of its resources and supplies after all they wernt in the war, And wernt been blown up. But British Forces came back in Africa at the Battle of Al Alamein when they defeated the Axis and they were on full retreat basically finished.(They didnt have the fuel for anouther counter attack). And the Battle of Britain was everything the R.A.F killed the Luftwaffes best and experianced pilots that couldnt be replaced.
LOL If you cannot take the heat wtf are you doing in the Kitchen -- WHERE WERE ALL YOUR OTHER FRIENDS ? Hell even the Irish were NAZI collaborators and Most of the French were Vichy NAZI Allies -- You Brits got your assed kicked in Africa and were forced back to Egypt and only when the USA fed and armed YOU DHIMMI BRITS AND OPENED UP a Western Africa Offensive to Drive the Germans did your 8th army do shit !--Yes the Battle of Britain was just a defensive air show !
@starcatcher77777 Your very stupid!!! The Americans had been supplying the British Empire since 1940, It was the British who defeated the Luftwaffe killed there best and eperianced pilots that couldnt be replaced. It was the British who humiliated the Italians in N.Africa Rommel only managed to push the British back to Egypt but at the Battle of Al Alamein the Axis were defeated and crushed and on full retreat, The U.S forces were no were to be seen!!!
@starcatcher77777 And when the Americans finally arrived in N.Africa the Axis Alliance was running away from the British. Look what happend when the U,S forces met the Axis?? They were humiliated. And while U.S supplies and resources did HELP to save the British, There Military came into the war when the Axis were running away.
Arrived ? LMAO You mean after the USA sent you food and weapons Monte was able to do something that other PANTY waste POS did not do ? OH so that is how you had your ASS in a defensive position just out side of the Capital of Egypt ! -- AND HOW MANY HUMILATIONS DID THE BRITISH ENDURE AT THE HANDS OF Rommel -- Tell me about Paton in North Africa ! You call the first 1/2 of a Battle Humiliation yet you forget your 10 dismal failures ! HOW BRITSH !
@starcatcher77777 And you have no clue!! Basra was mistake by the Goverment who failed to support there troops. They didnt listen to there Generals and Advisors and didnt send more troops and resources. The British were outnumbered and with alot of angry Iraqi rebels. But look at when American took over? They did what the British Advisors and Generals wanted, They came in with over 4x the amount of troops and resources and done the same job as the British.
So you are admitting that you as BRITISH ALLIES WERE USELESS IN BASRA ? I dont give a shit about why --the Bottom line really is that YOU WERE NOT ALLIES !
@starcatcher77777 Your an Ignorant American Idiot!! Look at the Americans in Africa,Pacific,Europe,Korea,Vietnam,Iraq,Afghan???? America cleaning up the British mess??? I dont think so U.S making things worse. Look at Sangin?? Basra??? You need to research America military history and then research of the British military history.
@starcatcher77777 I notice your from the America your an American Idiot. Look at how the U.S.A surrendered in the Pacific and you talk about the British?? The British had been fighting a war in Europe and Africa since 1939. Research U.S forces when they came into the war they were a bigger threat to the British than the Axis!!
WTF are you talking about ? Surrendered in the Pacific !? -- LOL Fighting a war since 1939 who are you kidding the only fighting you did was to Run at Dunkirk ! WHY DONT YOU LOOK UP PHONEY WAR !
@starcatcher77777 YOU REALLY ARE A FOOL!! The British had no chance fighting a war in the Pacific they were already fighting a war in Britain and North Africa and the Middle-east,India,Burma all there forces and resources were tied up the British just couldnt supply the troops in the Pacific they stood no chance. And Hitlers Blitzreig wiped the French forces out 1940 and the British were tied up in a little pocket they had no choice but to retreat or die.
@starcatcher77777 Your an American Idiot the Nazis had Blitzrteig whitch had never been seen before they were far superior in tactics and warfare than the British and Americans,French,Russains, And the Nazis Blitzreig humiliated the French forces 1940 and trapped the British forces who stood extermination they had to retreat. And the British just couldnt supply a war in the Pacific, They struggled to even feed there soldiers in India and Burma.
LOL The British Ran as fast as the French ! WTF DO YOU THINK HAPPENED WHEN YOU BRITISH COWARD RAN UP THE FRENCH WHITE FLAG IN SINGAPORE ? Compare you useless fucks at Singapore to the Americans at Corigadore and Battan ! YOUR CHURCHILL SAID SINGAPORE WAS THE GIBRALTER OF THE EAST ! -- Tell me how many of your cowardly British dies in action on Singapore -- TYPICAL BRITS ! YOU USED YOUR AUSSIES AND INDIANS To catch Jap lead while you had tea and fretted !
@starcatcher77777 Yes the British Expeditionary Forces in Northern France stood no chance against the overwhelming power of the nazis new warfare Blitzreig! No Armeis in the world would have stopped the Nazis advance. And in Singapore they faced defeat no matter what without Air and Navy support and resources and supplies it would be pointless even fighting. But the British came back to defeat th Axis Alliance ALONE Battle of Britain and in N.Africa they turned the tide in the west.
The Battle of Britain was NOTHING ! Just Air Planes shooting at each other -- NOTHING ! look at the casualty figures ! The British did not do shit and defeat anyone !
@starcatcher77777 You say the Battle of Britain was nothing?? The British alone stopped Hitlers invasion of Britain and the R.A.F shot down and killed the Luftwaffes best pilots and most experianced whitch couldnt be replaced. And it was the British who defeated the Axis in N.Africa at the Battle of Al Alamein the Axis were crushed, America basically sent supplies and resources for there war then helped the British drive the Axis force out when they were defeated and on the retreat.
@starcatcher77777 Look at U.S forces now that bribe the Taliban not to attack them!!! Look at Kumar province were the U.S were defeated and withdrew and the Taliban took there bases and Ammo and Fuel and many resrouces. Look at U.S in Afghan today?? The British have there faults but so do the Americans!!
The USA would be much better off and not have to change your useless British Nappies if you just went home! You are in the way and under foot and do nothing but shit on the floor !
The USA needs to change the rules of engagement and kill every Muslim in Afghanistan and sell it on E-bay!
The faults of the USA are nothing compared to you Brits ! It is like you are neck deep in shit and are the first to point out someone farted !
@starcatcher77777 The U.S.A would be better off without the British?? Your an American Idiot and an American FOOL! The British are the strongest and most loyal allies the Americans have ever had. The British are doing the job as the Americas in Afghan with half the amount of troops and resources. America had never won a war without the British and French. Look at Vietnam?? U.S was useless got defeated by Farmers!!!!
@starcatcher77777 What is your problem with the British forces i bet you live in former colony of the British. American arnt you?? Noitce how American Colonials used to always run away from the British and hide. Notice how America hasnt won a war without British and French help,(Accept there cival war). Noitce that U.S gets its ass kicked off 3rd world countries, Your an ignorant American, You forget your British heritage and that Britain is your strongest and most loyal allie.
Anything worth a shit that came to the USA from the Euro-trash zone arrived before the potato famine ! LOL Hey tell me Brit-- Look up Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans TALK ABOUT AN ASS KICKING ! lol AND THEN TELL ME ABOUT YOUR -- Global legacy of getting your ass kicked by spear chuckers with lip plates and chicken bones in their noses !
@starcatcher77777 America is nothing without there British and European Allies, And look at your country now?? Its broke and at the mercy of the communists!!!! Your military history and victories are because of the British and French Your defeats are because you went to war alone. Its the Americans who used to run away from the British they done this for decades totally useless terroists.
@starcatcher77777 Look at all the problems and mess America has created around the world?? Look at all the evil regimes and dictators the American fund and direct?? Look at the terroists organistion the U.S has supplied??
Not at all we are trying to clean up YOUR Mess ! Now come wash my car and paint my house and lick my dogs balls to show your gratitude ! NOTHING LIKE AN UNGRATEFUL BEGGAR LIKE YOU BRITS !
@starcatcher77777 Look at the mess America has created in N.Africa?? Middle-East and Asia?? The U.S and U.K both interfere. You need to look at the dictators and evil regimes the U.S goverment fund and directs and the terroist organisations that the U.S has funded. Look at America there is nothing great about it anymore, Your country is a lap dog for the COMMUNISTS!!! Amercia is nothing without its European Allies your an American Idiot.
@starcatcher77777 America is nothing without its European Allies, You think America is so great just look at the hole your in. Your country is broke and beggs the Communists for money they spend other countries money and get into more proble. How long will the Communists keep bailing the Americans?? What has America ever done alone???
@starcatcher77777 U.S.A is a broke country who is in trillions of debt to the Communists. And U.S doesnt own nothing!! The British took off America after all America is 1 of there Former Colonies, Look at the wars?? Its Britain who has taken off America and gave hardly nothing back apart from the honour of been allies with Britannia. You could even say America became a British colony again in world war 2 and after. You were like cows been milked by the British Masters.
@starcatcher77777 You said the British were cowards and useless at Dunkirk, In N.France 1940 there was only a small british expeditionary force in france. It was a french defeat and humiliation, The British were trapped in a small pocket they were outnumbered and the Nazis had Air-power and the French lines and defences were crushed the British faced been slaughtered or captured. It was better to evacuate what troops the british could to fight anouther day, France had fallen due to Blitzreig.
@martynrobin121 you forget the brave French who held the pocket agaisnt the Germans so our forces could be evacuated. Yes after the resignation of the PM as he was out voted by his cabinet to fight on. Petin was given the post and asked the Germans for an armistice..Do not belittle the French armed forces..The politician Yes but not the brave men who fought.
@grikes3838 The British help rescue 150,000+ French troops at Dunkirk, However the battle of frence, Was a french defeat both France,Britain wasnt prepared for Blitzreig!
@martynrobin121 I think it was ill preparation by the British and French high command. Both armies werent prepared for both Blitzreig and General manstein plan of going through the Ardennes Forest. It was a loss but the Battle of britian fought by the RAF with pilots from nearly every nation eventually ended the Lufwaffte.
@grikes3838 The British and French had no chance winning the battle of france, The Axis had the best Air-Force in Europe(They knew how to use a modern air-force) Also they had great leaders,communications,tank division and most of all Blitzreig. The whole world wasnt even in the same league as the Axis in warfare. And Britain is a Island fortress they had the best navy in the world, And the British R.A.F humiliated the Axis Alliance in Battle of Britain 3-1, Biggest Air-Battle in history.
@bisleybob3 My Grandfarther was evacuated at Dunkirk with French troops, Many kept fighting with the British and were sent to N.Africa and even the Middle-East, And some even in the D-Day invasion.
@starcatcher77777 Singapore the greatest humiliation in history, The British troops in Singapore faced fighting the whole Japanese Imperial Army/Navy/Air-Force alone, They knew the British forces were all tied in Europe and Africa and that they couldnt expect more troops or resources and supplies they faced defeat no matter what, Sure they could have fought for maybe weeks but the outcome was defeat. Look at the U.S who surrendered in the Phillipines over 85 thousands U.S troops.
@starcatcher77777 And notice when the Allies Britain and American invaded Western Europe? The Battle of the Bulge when Hitler used his counter attack on the weak American lines? The Nazis had the Americans on the run just like the French 1940. But the nazis ran out of Fuel and didnt have luftwaffe support whitch they had 1940. If they had, they would have crushed the Americans and trapped the British just like 1940 all over again.
Victory over Japan, VJ Day is August 15 Japan , and because of the time difference August 14 1945 in the U.S. On September 2 1945 a formal surrender ceremony was performed in Tokyo , Japan, aboard the battleship USS Missouri.

Not until January 1944 (after 5 years of British fighting in places like Africa, India, Singapore, Malaya, Hong Kong, Burma) were B29s heavy bombers developed to reach Tokyo. In Okinawa 12,000 US troops died. In Luzon, MacArthur had 40,000 casualties. The American Invasion of Tokyo was scheduled for March 1946 but everyone knew it would be another bloodbath. Instead, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit with Atomic bombs on August 6th and 9th 1946 and on August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered.

On December 19 1944, 2 of 3 Regiments of the U.S. 106th Infantry Division were over run and surrendered in the early days of the Battle of the Bulge, the largest battlefield surrender of US. troops in WWII, and the US. 6th Army fell back and lost Strasburg to the Germans. It was not until the US First and Ninth and British troops worked together that they pulled through the Battle of the Bulge, the 2nd major turning point of war in Eurooe. Victory in Europe, VE Day, is May 8 1945.

In January 1942 the U.S. arrived in the British Isles but did not go to war for a year, hated by the Brits and Canadians. It was not until D Day, June 6 1944, that finally US. and British troops joined forces to run Operation Overlord, the first major turning point of the war in Europe.

Singapore fell January 31 1942, 42 days after the U.S. entered the war, with British troops exhausted from just having fought in Malaya. A year later, 1943, the U.S. with similar insurmountable odds, like the Brits in Singapore, American garrisons fell to the Japanese and in
Guadal Canal (Buna) and Papua New Guinea, the U.S. suffered resounding losses.

WWII began September 1 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Germany and France and the British Empire jumped in to declare war on Germany while the US remained Isolationist, looking after themselves, until Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese on December 7 1941, over
2 1/4 years later.

The British Empire was established in the early 16 and 17th centuries, the largest Empire in history, 458 Million people. At the end of WWII, 400 years, 4 Centuries later, Britain with other European countries decolonized. The Territories were granted Independence and 54 countries, former territories, voluntarily joined Britain and the Commonwealth of nations.

The British did horribly in WW2 and the fall of Singapore is a prime example. They had poor leadership and no resolve to fight, which resulted in them constantly retreating and surrendering. See also Dunkirk and the Battle for Caen, where the British couldn't hold up their part of the Normandy invasion. Without the help of the US and USSR, they would have lost.

The main problem with this rubbish alleged history video is that it keeps focusing on the "British Army" not the Australian army.The Australian army inflicted significant losses on the Japanese army with repeated ambushes, the Australian army was trained for jungle warfare, it was the British commanders who surrendered Singapore.Thats why Australian troops will never ever be commanded by a non Australian commander.

You are correct the british was still using Bi planes while the Lufwaffe had monoplanes. The reason for the striking success of the German Blitzreig is that it had air supremacy. I belive the british destroyed the Luffwaffe and the German Navy. Whereas the Russians destroyed the German army. In the end the US supplied the allies so they won..The Germans couldnt replace their losses. If they could history could have been very diffrent.

The USA would be much better off and not have to change your useless British Nappies if you just went home! You are in the way and under foot and do nothing but shit on the floor !
The USA needs to change the rules of engagement and kill every Muslim in Afghanistan and sell it on E-bay!
The faults of the USA are nothing compared to you Brits ! It is like you are neck deep in shit and are the first to point out someone farted !

@starcatcher77777 The U.S.A would be better off without the British?? Your an American Idiot and an American FOOL! The British are the strongest and most loyal allies the Americans have ever had. The British are doing the job as the Americas in Afghan with half the amount of troops and resources. America had never won a war without the British and French. Look at Vietnam?? U.S was useless got defeated by Farmers!!!!

@starcatcher77777 U.S.A is a broke country who is in trillions of debt to the Communists. And U.S doesnt own nothing!! The British took off America after all America is 1 of there Former Colonies, Look at the wars?? Its Britain who has taken off America and gave hardly nothing back apart from the honour of been allies with Britannia. You could even say America became a British colony again in world war 2 and after. You were like cows been milked by the British Masters.

@starcatcher77777 You said the British were cowards and useless at Dunkirk, In N.France 1940 there was only a small british expeditionary force in france. It was a french defeat and humiliation, The British were trapped in a small pocket they were outnumbered and the Nazis had Air-power and the French lines and defences were crushed the British faced been slaughtered or captured. It was better to evacuate what troops the british could to fight anouther day, France had fallen due to Blitzreig.
martynrobin121 1 year ago
@martynrobin121 you forget the brave French who held the pocket agaisnt the Germans so our forces could be evacuated. Yes after the resignation of the PM as he was out voted by his cabinet to fight on. Petin was given the post and asked the Germans for an armistice..Do not belittle the French armed forces..The politician Yes but not the brave men who fought.

@grikes3838 The British help rescue 150,000+ French troops at Dunkirk, However the battle of frence, Was a french defeat both France,Britain wasnt prepared for Blitzreig!
martynrobin121 10 months ago
@martynrobin121 I think it was ill preparation by the British and French high command. Both armies werent prepared for both Blitzreig and General manstein plan of going through the Ardennes Forest. It was a loss but the Battle of britian fought by the RAF with pilots from nearly every nation eventually ended the Lufwaffte.
grikes3838 10 months ago
@grikes3838 The British and French had no chance winning the battle of france, The Axis had the best Air-Force in Europe(They knew how to use a modern air-force) Also they had great leaders,communications,tank division and most of all Blitzreig. The whole world wasnt even in the same league as the Axis in warfare. And Britain is a Island fortress they had the best navy in the world, And the British R.A.F humiliated the Axis Alliance in Battle of Britain 3-1, Biggest Air-Battle in history.

@martynrobin121 Yes and the majority of the French demanded to be returned to France .

@bisleybob3 My Grandfarther was evacuated at Dunkirk with French troops, Many kept fighting with the British and were sent to N.Africa and even the Middle-East, And some even in the D-Day invasion.

@starcatcher77777 Singapore the greatest humiliation in history, The British troops in Singapore faced fighting the whole Japanese Imperial Army/Navy/Air-Force alone, They knew the British forces were all tied in Europe and Africa and that they couldnt expect more troops or resources and supplies they faced defeat no matter what, Sure they could have fought for maybe weeks but the outcome was defeat. Look at the U.S who surrendered in the Phillipines over 85 thousands U.S troops.
martynrobin121 1 year ago
@starcatcher77777 And notice when the Allies Britain and American invaded Western Europe? The Battle of the Bulge when Hitler used his counter attack on the weak American lines? The Nazis had the Americans on the run just like the French 1940. But the nazis ran out of Fuel and didnt have luftwaffe support whitch they had 1940. If they had, they would have crushed the Americans and trapped the British just like 1940 all over again.
