Yeah, we didn’t know there was a war on, whilst the American cities of London, Glasgow, Coventry, Belfast etc were being bombed nightly by the luftwaffe, then again by the V rockets, and a million Americans were being killed, injured and made homeless whilst U-Boats tried to starve the US to death.....

All we British ask is to have our incredible and immense contribution and sacrifice to the two world wars respected and recognised, not ridiculed, by Americans.

That too much to ask?.

Well, maybe you shouldn’t have declared war on Germany (twice, 1914 and 1939). That was a joke, don’t get excited.

My original point was that I am tired of the obsessive bragging by Brits about WW1 and WW2. I did not disparage British bravery or losses.

And “Bomber” Harris certainly got his revenge tenfold for the bombing and V-rockets. His stated purpose was to kill as many German civilians as possible.

I don’t want to argue with a fellow Freeper and especially a fellow gun enthusiast. I do, however, stand by my original point, with no offense intended. I apologize if my comments offended you.
