Many of us have relatives who died during World War II trying to save these people from the mess they got themselves into. There seems to be little acknowlegement, much less appreciation, for what they did.
Mess they got themselves into? fighting a war with a huge aggressor while the USA supplied Germany with industrial assistance? until Pearl Harbor changed things? what a thing to say ......
Also for the record the French returned some 450 pilots back to the UK during the Battle of Britain. Without those pilots the UK would have fallen to the Germans. many US pilots and seamen where included in those rescued.
