COMMENTS:
The Americans better not be daring to make a film about how they won the Battle of Britain. SHIT - now we'll bombarded by unfounded comments from ignorant American twats claiming that they won the Battle Of Britain. Now about 99% of Americans are actually going to believe that they did win the Battle of Britain but we should at least give the American credit for capturing Enigma coding machines and organising the escape from Stalag luft 3 and numerous other things our American friends have done for us.
Guest_2d14d how about we form an alliance to inform these ignorant American twats of the truth about certain things.
1. Britain won the Battle of Britain without American assistance.
2. The German 4-reel enigma encoding machine and coding documents were captured by HMS Petard and it's crew
3. We organised and ewxecuted the escape attempt from stalag luft 3.
4. The British invented TV
5. The British invented the internet.
Looks like you're the one who could stand a bit of education, England Patriot. :-)
IIRC, Edwin Belin's 1922 prototype was a rather cumbersome, impractical mechanical device. Belin deserves credit for coming up with the idea, but it was two Americans, Philo Farnsworth and Russian immigrant Vladimir Zworykin, who devised the first practical system. In any case, given the general quality of television programming these days, I don't think being the inventor is anything to brag about. ( G ) And England Patriot claimed the British invented the internent, not the World Wide Web. The internet actually predates the WWW by a number of years. It began rather inauspiciously in 1969 as ARPAnet, a project initiated by the US DOD to serve as a military communications network that would still function even if parts of it were destroyed. After several years of trials, it was deemed impractical for its intended purpose at the time, and turned over for public use. One of the co-inventors of the WWW is indeed British, the other is Belgian. Both were working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland at the time. Since many people these days don't seem to be aware that the internet existed well before the WWW, I suppose we can give England Patriot credit for being in the ballpark. :-) The point is simply that neither TV nor the internet as we know it today are purely British or purely American inventions. They were developed by a number of people working at different times in different places.
And yes, it does annoy me a bit when movie makers distort the facts for the sake of "entertainment." And that doesn't just go for the American ones. ;-)
England _Patriot, say what you want about Americans, but remember, you still have a queen. Why doesn't Great Britain grow up and get rid of thet silly custom of having a royal family? We passed you guys a long time ago and now you're peeing in your pants because the rest of the world is passing you by, too.
The royal family are worth a lot to Britain they attract a lot of interest from tourists and their wallets, we get more from tourists paying for royal attractions per annum than the whole royal family are worth so they are a valuable commodity.
fag hahahahaha
Here we go again, another lime bitching about how America sucks.It must be the bad weather,horrible food and a boring society that makes the british so damn bitter towards America.We'll I'm sorry govenor that you were born on that excrement isle know as Great Britian but rather than bitch about America why don't you clean up your own "nation".
Irish_Scanshit please can you stop posting your bullshit.
It doesn't do you any favours, it just means more ignorant Americans read and believe your posts and then start posting the same bullshit. All it means is that I have more Americans to make mockeries out of.
So do Americans a favour.
Yes American pilots did fight in the RAF
But they were civilians only they wern't American pilots who had been through the American airforce and volunteered for service in Britain.
They flew mainly in quieter sectors, scored few successes and suffered 100-150% more casualties than the Average RAF squadron.
All they were good for was propaganda.
Military wise they were a waste of good planes.
We used American planes in the Battle Of Britain.
I'm not even gonna get started on that one apart from to say bluntly - No, no we didn't.
Actually go on then.
Which American planes were used, which squadrons were they used in.
Why is there ise no recorded.
Why did they acheive 0 kills.
Weapons what weapons.
The weapons were the planes.
They were built in Britain.
With material produced by Britain, the empire and the commonwealth.
Flown in the mainstay by British pilots.
They used 20mms so you didn't provide ammunition.
The guns were 20mms so they didn't come from America
The oil came from the colonies.
Many Irish joined the British army
Are you fucking stupid.
Why is it that I can only recall one Irish name worthy of note.
I can recall more Sweedish, Norweigen, Polish, Danish, Dutch, Spanish names of note than Irish.
Yeah let's not fucking argue anymore I defintely think you're one of the better ones.
I debate with people I think at least know some about it. I just make a mockery out of those who don't have a clue.
Peace Irish.
Yeah I know there are a lot that just bullshit but beleive me I've seen it happen someone say some bullshit on one vote and then someone else posts the same bullshit on a different ballot.
It's probably why some Americans actually do believe that they really did save Britain.
Someone said it saw it and believed it. They said it some more people believed it. They said it
etc.
england_patriot you are immature and spit out facts like you know what you are talking about..stick it up your ass
