No ones disputing that Mockney, I think most peopel with a grasp of history are aware. But it's not just a mistake on a year, 1940 can be argued to be our finest hour and thus was crass and pretty stupid mistake for a British PM to make.

Er, no, Contined German aggression and the breaking of the Munich agreement by Germany meant that Britain and France said in 1939 that they would absolutely stand up to any German aggression against Poland...but I get the sense you're not going to agree with facts here.

Well. Their worldwide one is absolute crap - even in predictable old Spain - and they shouldn't offer it if it is so poor.

er...we didn't have a historical alliance with poland *Bob*. We'd guaranteed we'd sopport them agains German aggression less than a year before in 1939 after the germans invaded Czechslovakia. And support them we did however innefectually. By the end of 1940 we could have made peace. A Belgium alliance in 1830 sparked the 1914 war but no such thing existed with Poland.

What worked for us was throwing away all the books for the second one...

Yup, of course it was, but in 1940 it was very far from guaranteed.

I find it hard enough to keep up and transfer on the Barclays one this one looks far too committed. So sorry, I'm out.

...that (maybe for once) we did the right thing morally at considerable risk and the yanks input was immaterial

That's my point Brendan.....amongst others

At the end of 1940 we were alone against the Nazis,the US looked a million miles away from joining the war, their material support for us was still pretty low and politically difficult to get, we had no armed land army. We could have come to a compromise with the Germans in 1940 - indeed very many thought we should have - kept our empire and not financially bankrupted ourselves. Instead we chose not to...it was almost certainly our finest hour...and you'd hope a Prime Minister would have some kind of understanding even if he's visiting a country where the 2nd World War is often dated 1941-45.
