    We should have left Japan to take over China and let the Krauts work their way around the World.

    The French Polish and other countries we liberated were ungrateful ****s .

    Israel wouldn't have been created and no Gulf wars.

    My granddad was a WWII veteran. In just one day during the Battle of Britain, he destroyed 8 German aircraft, killing 32 Nazi aviators.

    Easily the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had.

    "We" didn't liberate Poland. Russia did that, and "we", or rather Churchill, sided with Stalin over the Free Polish government in London.

    I think the people of Normandy were quite grateful to the Brits, Yanks and Canucks who liberated them. I always got a very good reception as a visiting Brit in Normandy and Brittany.

    There were always going to be gulf wars, because a) the region was destabilised by the collapse of the Ottoman empire after WWI, and b) it's full of oil.

    So? You're a tourist from a country renowned for the gullibility of its tourists. No wonder they want to be nice.

    They were Viking areas that the Brits owned for years, before we let them have it back. Probably got more in common with us than they have with the Franks anyway.

    You will find Russia liberated Poland because of the 2nd front, thanks to the UK, Yanks and Canada

    Glad to help you out for the 9th time today

    The people in Yaarkshire aren’t nice to tourists, or anyone else.

    At the time of the D Day invasion Russia was already on the cusp of launching Operation Bagration. This would have gone ahead regardless of the second front. Army Group Centre of The Wehrmacht was completely shattered with all but 6 of 34 divisions totally destroyed. Nearly half a million German troops died with 300,000 captured. Two thirds of Wehrmacht corps commanders were killed or captured. Happy to help on the history question.
