Just watched this, some of the crappiest special effects I have seen since sharknado

>Evacuate most of the Continental troops
>Germans outnumber you
>You later repay them in North Africa, sealing the war for you

Also, what did America do during WWII? America acted as a glorified supermarket, selling overpriced goods.

>proudest moment in British History
Did they even market it as such? Pretty sure it was portrayed as a humiliating ordeal, but then picked themselves up again and resumed a hell of a counterattack.
Be nice Dad, we did most of the dying for you from '42 on.

We literally kept your island from starving by building ships faster then the Germans could sink them.

Mainly we fought Japan

You're right. We never should have been involved at all.

Wrong. 26 divisions fought in the pacific and took around 100,000 Kia. Over 75 fought the Germans and took over 300,000 kia.

You're right, we were busy establishing dominance over our forefathers and the rest of the world, not just Japan

Who said that was the proudest moment in Brit history? What about Waterloo, Trafalgar, Seige of Gibraltar, Battle of Assaye or the sinking of the Spanish Armada?

yes and most of the kia occured within 10 months, from D-Day to VE Day.
So its like 3,5 years in the Pacific 100K
10 months in Europe 300K

> french are now consider as coward all around the world
> wtf

Big if true

I hope dying for (((them))) was worth it.
Every dead white person in this conflict is a fucking shame, that does not account to dead Poles though.

They took France faster than one fucking street in Stalingrad.
Any thoughts?

Stalingrad streets was blocked by ruins of the city... France was blocked by pussies which was called "army"

*Were

So much for superior Aryans :D

Yeah. Their attack was started with hundreds of bomber planes.
This was their mistake. They created a perfect landskape for defenders. When every brick is firering at you.

That's a lot of cars

France isn't the size of a fucking continent where you can continiously retreat to China with a population of 110 millions people in 1939.
In fact germans took more russian territory in 6 weeks than they took in France during the same time.

Also France took Berlin in 3 weeks with horses 150 years before but hey "le france bad at war lamo XD XD XD".

Russians are bit a like brits, they think they are hot shit at war but have always been saved by their geography when any other country would have been endlessly rekt in the same material and human situation, if you have had to deal with an exposed location like France, Switzerland or Poland you wouldn't even exist right now.

DESU that Harry Styles dude is like a mega Chad...

'SCUSE ME

That's a reason why they lost it... They had x times better equipment and training than SSSR's soldiers... But they did lotta mistakes in theyr tactics

kudos to the French military, but don't compare taking Berlin from the little fledgeling Prussia with taking Paris from a united France. Prussia only rose to power after Napolean's fall.

>>proudest moment in British History
I've literally never heard this said before, in fact most people wouldn't even call it our proudest moment from the war, that would go to the Battle of Britain where we rekt the "superior aryan Luftwaffe" pretty severely 2bh

the message of dunkirk is that even in terrible circumstances the brits keep their composure.

the movie is basically saying our worst is your best.

Thank you based Nazis for ending British military power outside of Britain. You will always be remembered as the good guys in Ireland.

>proudest moment

Not really, its more about the fact we stood alone, for two years as the sole resister rather than capitulate.

>about retreating in a panic from the superior aryan army until America saves you

Prussia wasn't "little" and "fledgeling", it was recognized as the best army in the world since 50 years and the rising power of Europe, also Prussia had the human support of Austria and Russia which largely even.
Also Davout won Auerstedt at 1v3 and Napoléon won Iena at 1v1.


France didn't have any numeric or technological superiority either like the IIIrd Reich had on 1940 french who were reluctant to go through yet another bloodbath against the german.
Yes it's very comparable, I would say that the campaign of Germany and Poland were much more impressive than the battle of France considering there wasn't any motorization yet and that logistic lines were much more complicated.

Another idiot using "literally" in every fucking sentence.STFU.

The movie really didn't paint the British military in a positive light at all. Barring Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy, the rest of the British military are cowardly child murdering pussies that hate themselves.

everything has to be gritty and edgy these days

Being involved with world politics at the time was inevitable and especially for someone of your size

I get you, but in this case it really is appropriate.
This thread is the first time I've ever heard that

I agree, I'd possibly say 'luckiest' or 'miraculous' but not so much 'proudest'. Of course there are stories of individuals doing their best who were an absolute credit to their country and that is something to be proud of, but the event, in itself, no.

Having the best army doesn't make you a great power, and as you said, they relied on their allies who weren't that willing to defend Berlin at all costs unlike an all-Prussian army would have.Their main problem was that Prussia spent absurd amounts of money on the military to be on par with the real great powers but could never compete in terms of economic power, manpower or even just landmass that would have allowed for a more prolonged defensive campaign (just as you've argued for the Russia-France comparison). The first problem alone broke Prussia's neck by suffering a single defeat: Since they spent all their money on the military, losing it brought them to the brink of bankruptcy. The real great powers on the other hand could afford more drawn-out campaigns and potentially deal with setbacks, although Napoleon made sure he's always hit hard and fast such that they barely had the opportunity to recover. Prussia on the other hand was a glass cannon which barely made it through the seven years war and finally broke on Napoleon's army.

On a side note, France had the numerical advantage in WWII, but it doesn't affect the point you've made.

Not our proudest moment, retard. Sage all anti-British threads. Anti-British threads are anti-white threads

...

>(((kept)))

They didn't use special effects or CGI, everything you saw was real objects or miniatures.

Friendly Reminder: Britain started WW2

Germany should have done as they were told

>superior

fuck off. hitler couldnt cross the english channel with his "superior" army

French surrendered like faggots, Russians fought for every inch. If French fought like Russians had with their tech and manpower in 1940 the war would have been over in a week. 20 dudes in Stalingrad put up more of a fight than all of France and they had all of a block to retreat to.

Russians also kicked around French's greatest military mind ever like a chew toy 130 years before then.

...

>French surrendered like faggots
Seems like someone watched too much simpsons and didn't read enough.

agincourt and trafalgar are proberbly our proudest winning moments. But Dunkirk in terms of bravery is right up there. Battle of Mirbat is my personnal favourite.

>dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2027061/How-British-heroes-entered-SAS-legend-fighting-400-bloodthirsty-fanatics-bullets.html

lol retard larper is historically illiterate.

Russians also retreated hundreds of kilometers and lost millions of men for some Georgian communist dictator, i'm not sure that's something to be proud of

>glass jaw
>starts fight
pick one

And you surrendered your entire country to Germany without firing a shot

Russia won WW2 single handedly, I don't know why they even call it a World war, it was basically Russia vs Germany

nonsense

>proudest moment in British History
>Bong education in action

See this plz

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar

Soviet losses in Stalingrad were higher than the German losses.Just a few months after Stalingrad the Germans wiped out several soviet armies near Charkov and the only reason why the soviets could withstand this is was sheer use of manpwer and materials.

Axis losses for Stalingrad:
700k KIA,WIA,POW
Soviet losses for Stalingrad:
1100k KIA,WIA,POW

not to speak of all the war material that was spent on the soviet side on a 1:3 ratio in favor of the Axis...so no...not a clear cut victory.

When losers argue about K:D ratio after a lost match.

The nazis literally needed three superpowers to take it down

>>proudest moment in British History
huwat?

Damn son, what did the Pollacks do to deserve that?

Why did the Germans attempt to conquer Siberia with a shitter army (horses, on foot)

Why did the Germans needlessly antagonise the conquered Slavs

Why didn't the Germans develop decent bombers

Why didn't the Germans mobilise the female workforce earlier

>America
>Saves UK
Oh please, we retreated after France buckled and we needed to protect our own country.
After we retreated in order to make sure we had enough men to protect Britain we invented the Enigma machine, the programmable computer and fucking RADAR. All to defend our country.

The USA shows up after all the heavy lifting is done, loses almost the same amount of men as us British despite our population being way smaller and then you go and try to claim that your big swinging dicks won WW2 by taking credit from the Soviets. Give me a break.

Britain was entirely self-sufficient in terms of food for the entirety of the war.

Plan Z was a meme and would never have worked.

Why didn't the Germans develop a robust easy to produce battle tank

Context seems important - the infant United States during Washington's era could scarcely afford to involve itself in matters an ocean away on either side, nor did it have the same obligation to familial infighting that European politics had become so accustomed to.
Save for matters economic, we just didn't have a horse in that race; times changed and we came into our own.
...of course, Washington's wording - 'permanent alliances' - is interesting, because alliances are never permanent.

"America"

>American education

I think you'll find our proudest moment was when Michael Caine conquered Africa.

>1914

BEcause they didn't use CGI you fucking nigger

Movie is about the triumph of the local Britishers in the face of war to save their pussy army

This, it's not about the army. That's why the army are child murdering pussies, it's about the British people picking up the slack in the face of disaster

...

>saving good white men
>a retreat
America did shit but profit off the war, no-one owes you or your Jewish overlords shit fatty.

Japan would not even need to fight without the trade war your Jewish overlords waged on them.
