    Wrong, the French surrendered because their forces were exhausted and had no ammo nor fuel left.

    Yes, we were. The Battle of the Atlantic more than anything else won the ETO.

    'Nuff said.

    Well maybe not. Sketch Mearig would just love that comment PiggyWiggy.

    Funny how England was bombed to hell. Yet they never quit.

    And you say that about Russia, as if they would of beat the Axis by themselves.

    That was because the Germans bombed the hell out of England and there was no "turning back" for them.[/quote]


    The French got, more or less, the choice... I guess that was considered extremely cowardly, especially by Americans (due to the many American losses; which is understandable). I guess they didn't want to sacrifice Paris (like you've mentioned) and human lives. But then, to think of it, I find that most of these discussions about the second world war, are speculations... Like in conspiracy stories, the truth might never get (fully) known. Who started it? Who caused it? Who won? Who did this? Who did that? ...[/quote]

    He didn't say that.
