Description
I love how Americans always falsely brag about them being the country who 'saved our asses' and won WWII on their own.People who say this need to stick their unhealthy patriotism (not implying that all patriotism is bad) up their arses and pick up a fucking history book.
If anyone saved us, it was Russia. They were the ones who single-handedly forced the invading forces of Nazi Germany from western Russia, all the way back to Berlin, where they hoisted their flag over the city from the top of the Reichstag.
They did so, SO much more work in liberating Europe than any of the other allies, but I don't see the Ruskies bragging on about how they 'saved our asses'. Strange, huh?
Well, maybe it's because they're not bigoted arseholes who brag on about themselves as if they're the best, and seem to respect the fact that millions of British, French, Dutch, and other European soldiers died with dignity by fighting for their countries, instead of being 'saved'?
It's as if they have no regards for the sacrifices they made for their countries, and the other countries that were part of the Allied Forces.
Plus, out of all the things they could choose to brag about, like GDP, healthcare, democracy, they choose to brag about fucking WAR?! Are you serious?
If you're one of the people who actually believes in this utter shite, then you need a slap and a history book thrown at you, and you need to wipe the patriotism away from your eyes and see that you're fucking wrong.
I know not all Americans are this thick and big-headed, and actually , but if you honestly, you didn't fight in the fucking war. You weren't even alive during the war, so you have no ground to stand on when it comes to discussing what actually happened.
I may not have fought in it either, but if there's one thing we can be sure of, it's that America didn't fucking 'save our asses'.
To be honest, I reckon the soldiers who fought for the Allied Forces are turning in their graves, knowing that people are always, and I mean ALWAYS, saying this shit just to annoy the Brits, the French, etc. Our soldiers all did it together, brothers in arms, side by side. They didn't care who did the most work. They didn't squabble like children. They only focused on working together and achieving their common goal of defeating Nazi Germany, Imperialist Japan and Mussolini's Italy.
You cannot possibly deny that.

We really spent most of the war on Japan with a little bit of force in Europe. Soviets and Brits did most of the slapping of German asses.

I agree! Even though I'm American, I think the US did play a big part in winning the war, that was only near the end. People often forget how many British and French soldiers laid down their lives before America was like: "Yeah, we should probably do something about that." But only after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The Russians fought hard and long, in some battles and sieges, they lost over a million people. And they suffered the greatest losses.

Quoting Zhukov:
"Speaking about our readiness for war from the point of view of the economy and
economics, one cannot be silent about such a factor as the subsequent help from
the Allies. First of all, certainly, from the American side, because in that
respect the English helped us minimally. In an analysis of all facets of the
war, one must not leave this out of one's reckoning. We would have been in a
serious condition without American gunpowder, and could not have turned out the
quantity of ammunition which we needed. Without American `Studebekkers' [sic],
we could have dragged our artillery nowhere. Yes, in general, to a considerable
degree they provided our front transport. The output of special steel, necessary
for the most diverse necessities of war, were also connected to a series of
American deliveries."
>Not understanding how much money you owe America. We should of given the aid to the Germans instead of you but our president was hellbent on helping you out even against the American wishes.
>Not understanding the battle of the bulge.

So you think America should've helped the Nazis? Oh dear lmao.

Oh my goodness I so agree with this! My father sadly is like this but I could never really believe him in that we single handedly saved everyone.... Right......
The Americans didn't even seem to care until the Japanese attacked our base, Pearl Harbor. I could be wrong about that but I don't think so.

I swear to god, it pisses me off to no end that there are Americans out there that have successfully earned our country this damned stereotype of owning the highest horse in the world.

I'm American and yet I got to agree with this... I mean USA wasn't going to do a damn thing till Japan pulled a move on us. So glad I wasn't born back then...oh wait, it's 2016, things are still fucked up!

The British had some of the toughest fronts alongside the United States. As did Canada and Australia. Honestly, it’s such a stupid arrogant thing to say, that one country was more important in a war than another.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I don't really agree with this. America had 8 million men in the war and was the industrial giant behind the war effort. The one major thing the British did to help was providing a springboard for D-Day and holding off the Nazis in Africa until we could get there and push them out.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Britain did ONE major thing in the war? Are you stupid?
D-Day was only one of them.
Britain was one of the only countries that stopped Nazi Germany from completely taking over Europe.
They were also a vital participant, alongside the USA, of the bombings of Dresden and Cologne, Germany - two major industrial cities at the time during the war. They helped to cripple the Nazi's war effort.
Not to mention that it's empire was the reason why countries like Canada, India and South Africa joined the war and provided the Allied Forces with more soldiers, as at the time, they were all part of the British Empire.
Britain was not willing to surrender to the Nazi war machine, and that had been shown after the Nazis were defeated in the Battle of Britain, and after they showed that they would not yield during the air raids on London, Coventry, Birmingham, which were vital industrial towns and cities during the war. Hitler called off his plan to invade and conquer the UK, and instead decided to fall back on his deal with Josef Stalin by invading Russia and the Soviet Union, and we all know how that turned out for the Nazis, don't we?
Britain was the main reason why Hitler chose to invade the Soviet Union - which led to the downfall of the Third Reich.
Judging by all of this, I think they were pretty fucking important and did a lot more than just "provide a springboard for D-Day" for the USA.
Need I say anymore? I can.
You're extremely arrogant if you think that you "saved our asses". Was the sacrifice of 450,900 British people not enough for you?

I'm sorry if I came off as arrogant. I do realize British resilience during WW2. However, Hitler never truly wanted to invade Britain. He never put that much emphasis on naval power, and just wanted to bomb the British into submission. Also, Churchill (although he was highly resilient to Nazi demands) was throughly outwitted by the invasion of Norway.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Exactly, so Britain wasn't useless, was it? Our resilience convinced Hitler to invade Russia, I mean come on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hitler already wanted to invade Russia. He considered them sub-human and he needed their oil fields.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
And Britain was the country who forced him to do it before he wanted to. You're welcome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not exactly. Hitler either wanted to make Britain a slave state by bombing it into submission, or invade it. He incorrectly chose the latter.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
But he failed, and chose to invade the USSR earlier than planned. You're welcome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, you haven't read enough history books. He was building for the invasion of Russia all along. Britain's tenacity under fire didn't make him rush, or postpone Operation Barbossa.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but Hitler chose to invade Russia BEFORE he intended to, because we told him to fuck off. The fact that you actually believe the whole 'we saved your asses' bullshit shows that you're the one who hasn't read any history books. What, did you fight in the war? Did you interview Hitler yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't completely believe that, but I know that we were the deciding factor in the war. I know that the British didn't force Hitler to invade Russia.

I think you mean Russia?

I said Britain didn't force Hitler to invade Russia.

You believe in the 'we saved your asses' bullshit, so therefore, I don't really care.
If you really think that patriotic bullshit is true, then you need to learn proper history. That's the probably with some of you Americans. You can't use words like 'teamwork' or 'cooperation'. You try to take all the credit for everything whilst mocking other countries in the process. Half a million Brits, mostly boys not even older than 20, and innocent civilians, died for you as well as for King and country. You saying that America swooped in and did all the work whilst 'saving everyone's asses makes you look like you think they died for NOTHING.
Well, America has never won a war on it's own, so I don't blame you for trying to look all high and mighty really.

You're not really reading what I'm writing. I apologized earlier for seeming to believe completely in that, yet I don't. However, you keep believing what your first impression was of me. I do understand what teamwork and cooperation is. I was just trying to state that A. Hitler was going to invade Russia no matter what, and B. Britain would've been wiped out without Operation Torch in Africa, or the huge amount of supplies we were shipping to you.

Neither did most of my family too, considering most of them died in both world wars. Did you have to run in and save my 'defenceless family's asses' whilst they risked everything to serve their King and country, hmm?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Half a million Brits didn't die for you to believe in something so shallow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're still not reading what I type. I do understand what the British went through. However, I also know how big a part America played in both World Wars. I know both sides, but you obviously like to live either black or white, while I live in gray. Maybe you should pay attention more to what people are saying rather then saying the same thing over and over. That's how you push people away and make enemies.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
If you're going to believe in bullshit and say my country was weak, even though it pulled through, then I'm not going to be all happy, am I? Most of my family died in the war, and you think America 'saved their asses'? No they fucking didn't. I don't care if I see in black and white. If you try and say my family were too weak to defend their country from the Nazis, even though they weren't weak, then I'm going to defend them.
You need to stop seeing in white, red and blue. I know that patriotism does stupid things to people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not saying that. Britain was strong, no doubt there, but they would've almost certainly fallen without America's support. You still won't read what I type.

We defended Britain on our own and we won. You DIDN'T save our asses. Stop trying to claim false victory again. I hate over-patriotic people like you who think your country is responsible for winning everything. I'm reading everything you're saying, and all I'm seeing is bullshit. You might as well be typing out the Star-Spangled Banner.

HOW ABOUT YOU READ WHAT I TYPED FOR 10 MINUTES AND THINK INSTEAD OF SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. IF YOU READ ANY HISTORY BOOKS, YOU KNOW BRITAIN RECEIVED VALUABLE AID FROM THE US DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. HOW ABOUT YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR ONCE!!!
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
If you read history books, it says nothing about America saving anyone. The Battle of Britain was fought and won by us. I can't take you seriously if you actually believe that America saved Europe in WW2. That was Russia, yet I don't see any Russians being arrogant and big-headed about being the country who successfully invaded Berlin. I hate over-patriotic people like you who fail to see the bigger picture of things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not over patriotic. I know the history books don't plainly say "America saved everybody", but the war would've been lost without us. If Britain hadn't held it's island nation until D-Day, and surrendered earlier, the war would've been lost. If D-Day didn't happen, the war would've been lost. If America never entered the war, it would've been lost. If Russia didn't fight back with such tenacity, the war would've been lost. I know it was a team effort, and not the force of a single country. The fact still stand though that America made up the majority of allied industrial production. I also think you should review your books. You may be (and I was reading) books that geared towards showing our countries might, rather than the others help. I really am sorry if I came off as arrogant or over-patriotic. Just please take 5 minutes to read this over before responding. I don't wish to argue anymore.

America didn't save us, they helped us, and I like how you don't mention Britain as if it did nothing.

You stubborn-headed, over-patriotic, SOB, piece of shit. You aren't reading anything. You're saying the same thing over and over. Just read all the comments again and come up with something new. I'm tired of idiots like you. People like you are what's plaguing this modern world of ours.

You're the one being over-patriotic. You're the one who believes lies made up by people who think America is above everyone else. It isn't me, it's you. The other Americans on here actually agree with me, so..

Same thing with you over and over. You just can't admit you're wrong.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm the one who's wrong because I know what actually happened during WWII. If I'm wrong, how come all the other Americans here agree with me? How come some of them are complaining about how people like you make America look like a big-headed, self-centered nation? Your bullshit beliefs are with the minority, not the majority. Sit down m8.

Where did you learn your WWII history anyways?
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
School, obviously, along with Hitler's rise to power. I didn't have a full run-through of WWII, as the course was based mostly around Hitler and the Nazis, but during the WWII part, but I still came out with the highest grade. 
damn u od'ing on dat patriotism.

Your teacher was partially wrong then. She should've gone through the facts of WW2. America had a large part in the war. Everyone did play their part, but it is almost indisputable that England would've fallen without some semblance of support, most of which came from America.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Oh god, the cringe. It's unbearable. Now you're saying that a teacher with over ten years of experience and a degree in modern history is wrong for not believing in patriotic bullshit made up by Americans who think they're superior to everyone else. Oh dear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So pluck America out of the war. Make the isolationists win. Then what happens? Japan rampages unchecked. No supplies reach Britain. No Operation Torch in Africa. All of those things we provided were vital. Each country did play their part, but America's part was the biggest.
