If you ever wonder why Barry has such a big mouth, it's because of the delusion of grandeur and relevance.

Why isn’t Sweden on the poll? We were like holding the north, flawlessly too…
Who the fuck said Belgium
tbf Italy should be top of the list
Italian mafia should be on top
Independently of what you think about the USSR, 6% is a criminal offense.
Also, we need to consider that Austria played a huge role in defeating Nazi Germany. Never forget that Hitler was killed by a brave Austrian.
Don’t forget, it was a Nazi who shoot Hitler.
“The Soviets gave blood, The Americans gave money and The British gave us time” – Stalin.
Britain and its Empire stood alone against Germany from June 1940 – June 1941.
The British people endured huge sacrifice to stand against Germany. Food rations and The Blitz.
If Britain had given up, the US would very likely never have bothered to get involved in Europe and Hitler would have been able to concentrate all his resources on defeating Russia.
Without American involvement in Europe and fully concentrating on Japan the Nazis would have had time to develop a nuclear weapon.
In this scenario France, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia would have all stayed under Nazi rule.
While it’s shit of uneducated people to downplay US and Soviet contributions to victory, it’s equally as shit to try and downplay UK contributions.
Germany not being on there is bizarre, they did loads of self harming
I kind of agree with this. The US and USSR should be way higher but not necessarily above the UK who had to fight alone for a while and beg the US to help.
Hans talking about delusions of grandeur, while throwing barbs over WW2. You’ve got to admire it really.
We definitely did a lot but Hitler was the biggest hero in ww2.
Hitler single handedly killed Adolf Hitler.
Russia – Spent 2 years on the other team and were a bunch of wrong uns anyway
America – Turned up halfway through
This really isn’t difficult lads
Why? It’s accurate in my view they did a lot of the heavy lifting, fought on all fronts and came up with the most relevant innovations to turn the tides. Yanks came in late and just threw manpower at the problem. Barry was more refined, the dambusters comes to mind, the radar, turing, the atlantic, the SBS. Legends
Fuck you Barry but credit where credit is due
Yeah, because Wehrmacht incompetence did the heavy lifting
Australia should either be the same as NZ or above it… We sent more Aussies then they sent kiwis.
I still want to salute the 0% Netherlands participation
I mean, we did more than any other nation in this sub. Not sure why you’re posting this to be honest.
I’d say it was Hitler.
Declared war on the Soviet Union and killed the leader of Germany.
I think people are kind of reading this wrong and reading it as though Britain contributed 42% of the total effort. No it just means 42% think overall Britain did the most to defeat the Nazi’s but not to say the others did not contribute a huge amount either.
When you look at contributions it is hard to say. The USSR lost the most lives. They took the real brunt of the action. The US though they came in late early helped fund the war effort in a big way.
Britain and her Empire fought on alone when all looked lost. They refused to capitulate and winning the Battle of Britain was one of the most important victories of the war. They also had many important innovations including radar and the solving of the enigma code as well as being leaps and bounds ahead when it came to espionag3 that were incredibly important for the victory of the allies.
So you can make an argument for a few of the factions being most important. But to play down Britain’s role would be to do an injustice.
Poll taken at a Leeds football match
We are one of many essential cogs that ended or shortened the war. But I think there’s a pretty good argument to be made that we were the biggest one. Imagine a Europe where the UK didn’t resist.
(Then it’s USSR, then it’s USA, then it’s France)
They are about right about our contribution.
The USSR, the US and the UK were the true victors of WWII. Sure the UK couldn’t have done it by themselves, but they gave a hell of a fight. The US money and Soviet casualties decided the end of this war
Strange i cant seem to find sweden on the list. I call islamphobia.
France & the Soviet Union the same percentage 💀
Shocker: Barry votes for Barry.
Unfathomably based.
Cope more Hans. Britain kicked your arse long before the Americans and Soviets turned up. Couldn’t close out the Western front because YOU LOST to the RAF and RN. And from thereon out, the German war effort was fucked because, no matter which way they turned, there would always be a giant island empire within bomber range of all their factories. All the American Hollywood propaganda in the world won’t change the facts!
L + cope + whirlwind reaped
