So it's really the Candaidan we can thank for liberating Europe? I knew it! I knew it all the time! I love Canada ...

I love Ambrose too (in that Platonic out of respect sort of way, not that way you're thinking. you know who you are ...), great author. I read Band of Brothers which I will quote now:

"You know what the problem with you Yanks is? You're over sexed over payed and over here"
To which the Americans would reply ...
"You know what the problem with you Limeys is? You're Under sexed under payed and Under Eisenhower"

-Micah

Sorry about not letting the thread die like I should ...

What you say is basically true (expect an airforce guy to come up with this :D ), but don't forget that the Army Air Corps had it's own airfields and British Bomber Command and Fighter Command had it's own too. Plus the US believed in daylight bombing, while the British went for nighttime raids. There was relatively little mixing of the troops. There was a lot of mixing with the local population though (nudge nudge, wink wink), and the Yanks were very popular around there billeted areas, because a lot of girls thought they had smarter uniforms. Also they were paid better than there British equivalents. A common saying amongst British troops was that the problem with the Americans was that they were 'overpayed, oversexed, and over her'.
Keeping the troops seperated is actually a smart thing to do, since it negates a lot of burocratical BS. The troops were somewhat intermixed during Desert Strom, and the ridiculously complex chain of command that resulted from this, was partially to blame for the destroying of the British Warrior APC's by the US airforce, because it took too long for the information about the location of the British armour to reach the American pilots. What works in normal life, seems to work in the military too. Keep it simple, stupid! :D


Can we get back to 'balling now?

Oh hey I just wanted to Add... Yes there were seperate bases at one point but there we numberous Pilots assigned to British outfits. I am itching to paintball myself... Only 6 weeks till Sunny Florida and then on to even sunnier Nevada! Oh one other thing Buddha the information I gave you came from Military History books, I promise you I didn't make it up!

Bloody Hell !!!!!
Who said you can't learn off these boards?
I have learnt more about the second world war in ten minutes than I ever did at school, come to think of it, they never did teach much of anything at Reform School :)
But after looking thru some of the posts, it seems obvious that perhaps some of the events of the second World War may well have been immersed in patriotic hogwash before being published in their respective country's history books.
What is also obvious is that the continental war in Europe would not have been won had it not been for the intervention of the Americans, any more than that is not really worth getting all bent out of shape over.
What is important is where we are all now and that is, as somebody has already pointed out, on the same side.
I will take it for granted that the Jocks, Welsh and Irish hate us (The English) but that as the Yanks say is 'a given'.
Now that's another can of worms ready to burst open on these boards........... :)
I for one would love to join the Army and get my ass up north to do a bit more of that invading **** just to teach them Jocks a little more respect.
After all, they win one frikkin battle against the English and they make a frikkin film about it (Braveheart).
What about every other time they went up against us and got their ass handed to them on a haggis platter ?
Jeeezz !!!!! ..... :)
Laters all

PS..I can already feel Big Sid rumbling in his kilt....bring it on !!!

I'd just like to point out that it was actually the Poles who originally cracked Enigma and not the British. The Poles passed all their info to the British at the outbreak of WWII. thats when Bletchley park became the center of code-breaking.

just wanted to make sure the Polish got their claim to fame!:D

Happy New Year to u all.
I'd also like to point out that cracking the enigma 'code' was not a one-off thing. Each message had to be cracked and decoded :p

And a Merry Christmas all!!

Robbo, you are quite correct about Alan Turing being credited with breaking the Enigma BUT if you check the History books(European History books for all u Yanks out there;) ) I think you will find that the Poles had indeed already cracked the Code. This was done while the machine was under trials and the Polish actually replicated the machine.
When 'Bletchley' and Alan Turing got the hold of the info he was able to develop a way to crack the codes quicker. By the way, the system he came up with was originally proposed by the Polish. ;)

Just to set the record straight. :p

MarkehB:-

DuH.......cracked and decoded....ahh...seems like the same thing to me.:p
 
Just if he's gay Robbo

Don't mean his balls wont burst on you! Blimey u take your eye of this board and it goes crazy!

Just to set the record striaght (we haven't heard those words very often now have we....) What was recovered from a German U-boat was a German Enigma decoder, this was not all the way to cracking the code, but it made it a hell of a lot easier. The rest was guessing or applying parameters to the code. I know this mostly because the Royal Navy officer who did this was an old boy from my school and he was at one of our "School Songs" events.

Still its nice to know yanks are just as easy to wind up :D

Though Robbo you are still the king of the wind up victims :D:p

PEace y'all Richard
 
brits gay fear not my colon friend sorry colonial

hmm lets start at the begining. Firstly the french are gay and not very popular, oh and they smell, oh and they are not very good at defending themselves. Right then on we go. In the begining there was the British who fiddled around all over the world.The British then colonised North America along with others.Unfortunately in the process of time the (others) who have settled there have in some way, hmm diluted the thing called humour (and not humor by the way).This has been diluted to such an extent, that you no long have any in America. Remember we are the only country in the world who still like you. I do like yanks and sometimes i envy their very basic grasp of humour, because then i too could laugh at their sitcoms on TV.
LOTS OF LOVE AND FLUFFY BUNNIES WITH CHOCOLATE SPROUTS ON TOAST
