Quote:Right, over two years with no military support from the US. Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Atlantic Naval campaign, and the majority of the North African campaigns were all done with no support from the US. Sword, Juno and Gold didn't feature any American soldier. Nor did the operations around Arnhem in 1944. The ops in Sicily and Italy were joint campaigns. Campaigns in Burma were fought with only nominal US military support.


British and Commonwealth troops outnumbered American throughout the conflict and suffered more KIA and MIA as well.


The UK may not be a superpower anymore but in the 40's they could very much hold their own.


C'mon man, even here some things are just too ridiculous to warrant that much of a response.
