    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            Tell that to all the English we saved in Dunkirk by slowing down the Germans at the Leie. Really, if you don't know anything you better shut up. Making noice does not impress me and content wise you haven't much to offer.

Of those three, the USA arguably was the most important, though you could certainly make a case for the USSR as well.
                Yeah, right. Do remind me, how many Soviet soldiers died at Stalingrad? For you, it was just something you could do without any real risk to your own infrastructure, hence you couldn't even be arsed taking part until half way through. And then you harp on about how you won the war, like it was you who came in and saved the day. You tipped the balance, sure, but saved the day. Don't make me laugh...it's this kind of arrogance that has made your country so despised

                  Not so. The Nazis had a sizeable lead in developing the A-Bomb until Norweigian guerillas knocked out their supply of heavy water. A frustrated Hitler then cancelled the program. Anybody want to speculate how WW II would have come out of Hitler would have had The Bomb?

                  The Poles got us Ultra, so we spent the entire war reading top secrets of the Nazis. We used Ultra, among other things, to sink supplies and reinforcements heading for Rommel in North Africa. Without the Poles, we lose North Africa and the Suez Canal.

                  And God Bless our much overlooked Canadian neighbors. Their bloody Dieppe Raid earned us the lessons we needed to win at Normandy. Plus, Hitler sent all his Normandy reinforcements to battle the Canadians around Caen, which let Patton break out in the West with Operation Cobra. The U.S. may have gotten the victory at Normandy but much of it was paid for in Canadian blood.

                    There was no way the Nazis could have won the war. They were killing Jews. Short of masturbating, I don't think there is any way you could piss off God more.

                      Also if there were no Germans, Italians, Japanese or whatever axis guys the war would not have been the same.

                        If there were no Italians, Germans would have had a fighting chance.

                          As I recall, the Brits got Ultra when they boarded a German U-Boat that wasn't sinking as fast as the commander had hoped. The U-110 gave up its enigma machine and code books. In fact, the Brits captured 13 such machines on different occasions, the Canadians one, and the Americans one (near the end of the war).

                          To those who claim the US didn't get into the war soon enough, it should be remembered the the United States was unofficially at war with Germany in early 1941. Aside from all the helpful war materials this country sent to Great Britain (planes, tanks, ships, volunteers, etc.) the U.S Navy was also involved in hunting and sinking U-boats, long before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

                            This is a combination of gross exaggeration and outright falsehood.

                            The Poles got us Ultra, so we spent the entire war reading top secrets of the Nazis. We used Ultra, among other things, to sink supplies and reinforcements heading for Rommel in North Africa. Without the Poles, we lose North Africa and the Suez Canal.
                            Oh, I'm certain that would be the result of not having had the Poles crack Ultra for us.
                            edit: by "the Poles got us Ultra" are you talking about the Polish mathematician who invented the device used to crack Enigma? The UK had the best computer scientists in the world at the time, they would have managed it anyway.

                            And God Bless our much overlooked Canadian neighbors. Their bloody Dieppe Raid earned us the lessons we needed to win at Normandy.

The U.S. may have gotten the victory at Normandy but much of it was paid for in Canadian blood.
                            And yet somehow I think we would have won the war even without Canada.



                            Jesus, Zkrib, the Allied victory was not some close-to-the-wire affair decided at the end of the last inning. It was an overwhelming pwnage.

                              After the Battle of Britain and El Alamein, yes.

                              Once it became obvious that the Western powers were going to be able to hang in until they could get up to full war production it was just a matter of time.

                                If Britain had fallen, the Allies still would have won WWII. It just would have taken longer.
