I see the all Allies as failing in WWII. And I don't believe my views are prompted by living in Derry, they're being prompted by reading the history of WWII. It was disgraceful the way they held off opening a western front for so long, leaving eastern Europe to fight alone and suffer under German occupation. Then they have to audacity to claim that they alone defeated the Nazis. The fact of the matter is that they let millions of eastern Europeans (including the Jews) die at the hands of the Germans, their failure to act led to the subsquent division of Euope, and the Cold War, yet they still try to claim all the glory.

They didn't fail, they won. Mistakes were made, but that's war for you.

Having just emerged from the horror of WWI, it was hardly surprising that they didn't rush into a second one. Rushing into a battle even though you haven't been attacked is not a good idea. Ask Bush/Blair.

Don't think anyone claims they won the war alone. The major battle was Stalingrad, but the war involved many improtant battles.
I don't think they knew the full horror of nazism in the early days of the war an dthe rest of your rant is wide open to debate and argument. But it's late on Friday and I'm tired of typing
