Not a lot of aid? I think you should look up the areas that the advanced u-boats manage to cause so much havoc and the fact that they sunk somewhere over 3000 British merchant ships alone. This.
Irelands contribution: Let the Uboats use Irish ports to refill Left the lights on so the Krauts could find Britain Provided the Germans with potatoes. No wonder Jaqueline is a bitter spud thrower!! HIS COUNTRY HELPED ZE GERMANS!!!
Stalin was indeed a ****. He basically won the war through the sheer disregard for the lives of his infantry. But the Germans enjoying the tide of the war was ended when the Russians prevents the Germans capturing stalingrad within the first month of their advance on the city. This meant that the germans could not rely on their blitzkreig tactics and had to fight a more traditional war which they still were better at but the numerical advantage of the russians was simply too much. The tide of the war was turned in 1943 when they force the Germans into a retreat/rout from Stalingrad. Just strange that most people believe America won the European war with D-day when in reality the Russians had turned the tide of the war a year previous. Hitler had to commit huge resources to trying to stem the Red Army's advance on Germany. This turned the Western front into a cakewalk once they got off the beaches
Certainly wouldn't want the paddies watching your back when the **** hits the fan. They should change their national colour from green to yellow.
Oh, sure I was foreign minister of the republic and all during the war How is my saying Russia won the war, not America being construed as support of Germany. If anything you would be more successful labelling me a dirty Commie
Actually Himmler (and to a lesser extent Hitler) were all over astrology For instance in April 1945 Hitler was told that an astrologer had predicted a change in fortune for the Germans, which was followed by the death of Roosevelt, which was further proof for Hitler that he was like Frederick the Great, who escaped defeat after the Russian Monarch died
All countries that stood up against Nazism did their bit. No-one here doubts the contribution of Russia but if you think they won it single handedly then you are a buffoon. Perhaps if Oireland hadn't been collaborators and joind the effort it may have ended sooner but I sincerely doubt it as the whole country is cowardly and should be reviled for ever more.
how old is ER again? I get the feeling you are overcompensating for something waxing lyrical about other nations courage. My bet it your one of the ones who wouldnt join up and got hated for it as a coward.
Jakey fails to mention that Britain (and it's Commonwealth, Polish airmen and US volunteers) stood alone for 2 years while Russia was supplying Germany in return for carving up Eastern Europe between them.
Stood alone? Didn't do a very good job by all accounts. Countries conquered in weeks, british is full retreat. If the Germans hadn't stopped for a breather then hundreds of thousands of british troops would have been captured before they even got to Dunkirk. And the Battle of Britain warwise it was a bit of handbags with planes. HItlers thinking was basically "right iv got this far this easily, il leave it for now and capture Moscow then come back and really do a number on them".
What the fuck are you on about?"Germany did best out of it so they won in the end"...Rubbish,their country was divided for 44 years and it's left with an embarrassing history and not to mention the people that died and the one's that survived and were in famine. The free world won and will always win.Democracy forever,fascism never.
