The best scenes in the Longest Day where with the Germans.
Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller [speaking in German]: Thank you, my dear Hans! You have just killed both of us!
Luftwaffe major: It is getting very difficult to get any sleep around here.
Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller: Your prospects for a long sleep have just improved. The invasion has begun at Normandy. We are to fly there and attack with our two planes.

The English threw out their culture in the 60s and they have an empty space for a soul right now. Of course I am generalizing, there are still 10% or so of English who are culturally and religiously true — and I’m NOT talking Tommy Robinson who isn’t very ‘English culturally” but more just anti-muslim (which isn’t a bad thing)
But many “nationalists” I see across Europe have forgotten that Europe’s roots need to be in Christianity otherwise the nationalism is shallow.
Above is a map from 2005 - when I left. And the anglican churches were already dying. Catholic churches were a little better but the bustling ones were the Coptic, the black Baptist churches.
England has absorbed ethnic minorities before, but the problem is when the base culture is non-existent as is the case in large parts of the country.
