  • Britain was bombed like anyfin in the war many men n women were lost even kids if any one suffered it was us tha thort we was week not nowing the lions that was underneath to those that was lost ur sacrifice was not in vain n u r not forgotten Rip

  • The same way it's possible for Ahmedinejad to threaten the world today. It's 1939, and Iran is Germany.

  • How the hell was it possible for one man, one bastard to unleash hell upon the world?

  • Many things helped. Better submarine detection both from the surface and also long range spotter / attack aircraft like the Catalina came into play. Cracking of the Enigma codes so the Allies could read the Uboat's radio transmissions was a major bonus too. No-one had an easy time of it but imagine being in the Merchant Navy. If you survived being torpedoed your pay stopped until you were back on another ship! What a way to treat these brave men.

  • Lend lease from America allowed the UK to survive until Pearl Harbor brought America into the War on Britain's side. Britain couldn't win by itself but with the aid of America and the Soviet Union it was able to prevail.

  • If Britain was losing the Battle of the Atlantic how did we come to win it?

  • It's fine.

    People here still feel strongly about ww2.

    People in Britain and in Europe feel strongly about it and will do for a long time.

    I know you were only talking about the voice on the video but if you ask people here this question...

    "what do you think is the worst thing in world history?"

    What answer do you think you would get?

  • oops, i guess i got a little to extreme there.. sorry

  • Anyone who thinks you get rednecks in Britain loses the right to call anyone a "stupid person".
