  • The americans did play a huge role in winning the war. but if britain didnt win the battle of britain then the world would be a very darker place to live today.

  • The Russians had turned it around and were pressing Germany well before D-day on June 6, 1944. And it was the Russians who actually took Berlin.

  • Even know I'm English Britain was small so we needed America.

  • @Spanky00Cheeks But without US and britain on the other fronts it would have been a fair war and Germany would have owned em.

  • When Britain and the United States are on a team nothing can win except god maybe.lol

  • thanks for uploading!

  • Irish Nazi supporters....the IRA and Irish Republicanism was very supportive of the Nazis. The IRA tried several times to establish Nazi links so that any invasion of Britain would be supported by the IRA as allies of the Nazis. In turn for their loyalty to Hitler, the Nazis would unite Ireland and set up an IRA/Irish Republican government who would allow Nazi soldiers to be based there and take their orders from Berlin.

    Smart move...but it just shows what the IRA are really like.

  • Why can't allies just be allies? There always has to be that group of people who conjure up wild accusations against others. It's annoying.

  • A soldier died in the field of battle and came up to the gates of heaven, where he met God. He said to God," Lord, I know I did many things i ain't proud of, and many more that you won't approve of, so if you send me to hell, I won't argue." God stood there for a moment, and then turned to the gatekeeper of heaven. "Let him in", he said.? The gatekeeper, confused, asked why. God looked down at the soldier and said," This man just came from hell."

  • Without U.S supplies to Russia, They would not have won the key battles that turned the eastern front Moscow,Stalingrad,Kursk(The U.S and U.K helped in all the battles with supplies resources tanks,planes etc etc.) And without U.S supplies to Britain 1940 the could have been invaded and brought the war to British soil.

  • U.S.A In World War 2, Resources and supplies were everything BUT There Military came into the war when the Axis were losing on both sides! In the West the British had defeated the Luftwaffe and stopped the battle of britain 1940, And then at battle of Al Alamein 1942 British Forces defeated the German,Italians and humiliated Rommels counter attacks with the Axis on full rethreat, In the East the Axis had been defeated Moscow,1941-2 Stalingrad 1943, Kursk,1943. U.S resources ere vital.

  • the americans were the biggest force in the west but mainly fought second class german soldiers while the russians took the bulk of the german fighting machine. the russians just sent waves after waves of soldier till they eventually overwhelmed the enemy. hence their casualties. the RAF defeated the German air force. the Americans marines took on most of the fighting in the Pacific. even after all of this i think the Germans had the best military. italians were dumb back than. Ethiopia wtf?
