[srlbbggg]

what are those things in the water?

[tvboy61]

@srlbbggg They are the remains of the Mulberry Harbour that the Allies quickly built to be able to land supplies to support the advance inland.

@quick57r8 The British defeated the Japs in Asia, And it was the Soviets who liberated China and pushed the Japs out look into the battle of Manchurio over 1 million jap troops defeated.! And the U.S forces arrived 1942, When the British had the Axis forces on the run in the west and the Soviets in the East.  You dont seem to realise the British-Soviet war efforts. And without the British there would have been NO-VICTORY and without the U.S forces Britain-Soviets would have won anyway..THINK1

@inconspicuous96 who made it to berlin first?

[quick57r8]

@inconspicuous96 yea no shit we couldnt have won the war without the help of the brits or the soviets and you guys couldnt have won the war without us... but the candians, they were and still are a joke.

[inconspicuous96]

Furthermore as an addition to my earlier point, the american temporary harbour collapsed and they had to rely on the british one solely as well as the fact the british were able to land in more shallow water so they didnt drown unlike a large number of americans, I am not in anyway condeming the efforts of the american troops merely showing some ignorant people that the US couldntve won ww2 without the uk/canada/soviets

[inconspicuous96]

@quick57r8 The United States army was useful, but you cannot possibly say that the americans played a larger role than britain in ww2. If the americans weren't so selfish to have not joined the league of nations in the first place, a flawed league that was if i might hasten to add an american idea,then perhaps crises like the manchuria and abysinnia disasters would not have happened and hitler wouldntve walked over europe so easily.

@tomato6999 Thats FALSE! It was impossible for the Axis to invade Britain, Defeating the British Empire was just foolish. Britain could have never lost the war, Hitler wanted peace-talks with Britain so that Germany,Italy could withdraw there Forces from W.Europe. At any time during the war, Britain could have accepted talks and saved W.Europe without a fight. America TRADED with Britain for PROFIT! Lendlease 1942, Was to protect American interests,NOT OURS! U.S is not a good Allie, they do shit

[tomato6999]

@martynrobin121

sorry mate if not for the americans we would have lost. america supplied us with almost everything aero engines,food libertyships. the americans were and still are our best allie. i thank god for america

@LordGeorgeRodney Africa was a British & Empire victory, and Italy was wide open for invasion. Without the U.S the British could invade Italy but Operation like D-Day would be impossible alone. The Allies were only able on Normandy due to the fact 75% of what was left of the Axis forces was fighting the Red Army. Britain alone could have not been able to invade France in time, The Red Army would have won by then. Churchill didnt want Communist enemy on Britain doorstep.

[martynrobin121]

@LordGeorgeRodney An Operation like D-Day would have been impossible for the British Empire due to many reasons, The British didnt even have enough landing craft or troops, It took both the Empire & US years to build for an Operation like D-Day. And it could have very easy ended in disaster due to many reasons. Alone the British could be too busy in Italy and the Red Army would have taken Berlin 1945, 46-at the latest. America was needed for D-Day for manpower,resources for successful landing.

@martynrobin121 oh and in Tunisia

It was the Brits who took the vast majority of Germans & Italians prisoner.

75,000 Germans (mainly in Tunis) & 120,000 Italians... maybe more.

With fuel it was no problem the British & Soviets were using the Iranian oil from the Trans Iranian railway.. and much more where that came from in the Middle East..
