that's one thing that makes me chuckle, kids nowadays are brought up not even knowing that anyone else bar Britain and Germany were in Ww2
But...Germany wasn't at war with Russia at that point, Russia was supplying Germany. This has nothing to do with our self-importance and everything to do with you trying to belittle us.
Hitler was actively putting his push east into action well prior to any actual physical invasion. He needed to amass resources ( manpower, weaponry, vehicles, fuel) before putting it into action. The high resource cost of the Battle of Britain probably caused Hitler to shelve any full invasion plans as he couldn't afford the resources at the time but had he decided to shelve his plans for the east Britain would have been joining the "cheese eating surrender monkeys" sooner rather than later
That's a serious word. At the time the Provos were blowing the bollocks out of London. Your 'friends' in the USA were backing the Provos. You guys are not fit to win a raffle
Saw a documentary not that long ago, something along the lines "what if Germany had tried to invade", international panel of experts (including German military men) playing a great big war game. Concluded that the Germans wouldn't have got more than a few miles inland. We'll never know.
after scything through Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and their Maginot defensive line in a matter of weeks, Germany would have done considerably better in a relatively small geographic area that Britain is than a few miles inland
After taking out the Polish cavalry with their tanks, the undefended Netherlands and Belgium and GOING AROUND the French defences, it's hard to say what they would have done faced with a navy, an airforce, an army and a vast network of defensive obstacles.
But did they not have a British force hundreds of thousands strong in full retreat??? Oh and the first time they came up against such a military obstacle (a much bigger one in the shape of the red army) they did remarkably well pushing them back thousands of miles the whole way to where they could see church steeples in Moscow until the cold, muck weather and a huge bogland impeded the progress of their infantry and more importantly their tanks and trucks to where their blitzkreig tactics were no longer effective. The weather and the terrain of Britain would not have thrown up such obstacles.
Jakey, the German invasion of Britain would have been met with the following obstacles: Huge concrete blocks sunk into the beaches to stop the progress of tanks. Row upon row of razor wire. Attack coming from the land, the sea and the air. They didn't fancy it.
Irish achievements: growing potatoes (but not having the intelligence to grow anything else); taking credit for other people's hard work. British achievements: far too many to mention.
Can't be bothered to read all of Jacky's latest Jew hating thread, however Germany was in no position to mount any invasion of Britain because they didn't have enough warships and troop carriers
I thought the invasion of Britain was cancelled because after losing the Battle of Britain gerry didn't have the required air superiority to make the invasion feasible?
