Sounds like you don't appreciate the sacrifices soldiers/airman/sailors of all countries did. And since we're talking about World War II history the Brits and French could have prevented it at the very beginning...Your PM Neville Chamberlain signed away the Sudetenland to Hilter, some would say that encouraged Hilter to be more bold. Or how about when Germany marched into the Rhineland....where were the Brits and French? And lets not forget that Britian and France had a treaty/pact with Poland that if Poland were invaded by Germany the British and French would come to her aid....but there was no aid was there? We had the Phony war, historians/scholars/even German generals agree that if Britian and France would have invaded Germany when Poland was invaded then World War II would be over....but instead we have untold deaths. Yeah we don't want your worship nor deserve it...just your respect. Duane
I am very aware of the history and sacrifices made by all the allies in defeating the world of the malignant cancer of National Socialism. But what annoys we in when triumphant Americans say things like "If it weren't be us you'd be speaking German now." Respect is earned not bestowed. Just because many Americans sacrificed everything then, doesn't mean every American today isn't automatically entitled to that respect purely for being American. Learn your history!!!
Thats one hell of a chip that has been knocked off your shoulder pal , no ones asking you to hero worship the yanks, but if it wasnt for the Americans Industrial might, and yes, their human sacrifice, we would have been unable to defeat Germany on our own, and thats a fact.
