Oh, and LTW - it's okay, you can say you like America because they're *incredibly* pro-Israel and love Jewish people y'know

Although it was the BRITISH Mandate of Palestine that created a national home for the Jewish people.

are you seriously saying without Yankee intervention, the battle on Europe would have been won by VE Day? Are you seriously saying that? My lord ... Yes the English had 'repelled' the Battle of Britain, or HItler had perhaps made his biggest mistake and opened a second front giving the chance for the Brits to breathe after non-stop assaults on her cities.

And considering Rommel had the 'Allied forces' just west of Tobruk in Jan 1943, I don't exactly see how the war had already shifted (Granted, this was due to troop reinforcements being sent to Burma). Rommel was basically at El Alamein in May 1943 ... only to be pushed back ... but don't let that get in you rway.

Put your anti-American hatred to the side - were it not for their involvement in the war, things would not have ended as they did.
[/quote]

Of course they wouldn't have. Things would have been far different. That doesn't mean to say Germany would have prevailed. Of course the Americans helped bring forward the end of the war. That had to be a good thing. I'm glad they joined us as it brought an end to the whole thing more quickly. But to give the Americans ALL the praise for ending the war is complete bollocks. It was the Allied forces. A combined effort.

That's true, but there's a myriad of other factors involved as well, it was just that "America saved Britain's ass" like so many people seem to think.

The fact that every inadequately educated American seems to believe that, along with a ton of other guff drip-fed to them by shoddy Hollywood movies is more than enough to rankle, not to mention ruin this "Appreciate America" thread.

I suggest we step away from the debate and head back to safer ground.

Repelled? the Luftwaffe was fucking anihalated, the Russians were fucking digging deep, the Nazi's were lost, they had the Russians one side, and were getting bombed to fuck by us, well before the Clint eastword and co came over.

What? rommel was fucked, the Reds and Monty (even though making a right meal of it) had the Nazi's number, The Nazi's had the better tanks, that is probably the US's biggest land contribution, the armour they provided.

Regardless, Hitler had far too much on his plate, it was only a matter of time.

that sound about right - I don't give them all the praise but I think their intervention shifted the war completely in the allies' favor ...

whatever the case, I think Hitler's 'insanity' lost him the war ... Going into Russia was a big 'no no' ...

What anti American hatred??

Britain had withstood all of Germany might since Sept 3rd 1939 the American became involved in the was on Dec 8th 1941 there first battle was mid 1942.

Monty had taken Tobruk in 1941 Britain had entered Greece in 1941 all this was without America.


The war in Europe would have ended the same, all the commonwealth soldiers fighting against Japan would have been in Europe.

Again get your facts right.


Fact we wouldn't have 'all been speaking German' now

We WOULDN'T be having Frankfurters with our chips.

Yeah,well thats due to the Hollywood factor, they didn't have rack off some WWII films portraying the ever present knight in shining armour that is, coming to the rescue.

Actually that's not quite true.

I once heard an interview with , well actually I don't know what you'd really call him, but he was an American fella with numerous degrees.

He had completed lots of research into how the world would best be equipped to deal with an Alien Invasion and came to the conclusion that the Mujahideen's tactics would be the best to use on the Aliens.

I have been in the US in 1996 and I have to say my impressions were very positive and I agree with Vlad's post.
Apparently 9/11 has changed a lot of things. Some of my mates went to New York after 9/11 and told me New Yorkers were
arrogant, susceptible wankers. Maybe its only New York, but Id say 9/11 had an impact on most americans' attitude.

I went in November just after it. I found the people in New Jersey warm and welcoming but found some of the New Yorkers a bit up their own bottoms. Saying that, a couple of my mates went for Paddys day a couple of years ago and got treated like royalty.

When some guys found out they were British these group of Yanks said " God Bless Tony Blair. You guys stood with us in eye-rack"

"Fuck Tony Blair" my mate replied "Tony Blair doesn't tax you !"
