It's ok now General, the Americans are here to
save you fucking European pansies in doing the war our way.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
In revisiting John Keegan's History of World War II, an interesting reality appears which no one has ever really examined, and that is how Winston Churchill sabotaged thee American war effort.
In retrospect, I can understand in the English track record leading up to 1942, in why Churchill was scared of the Germans and the Japanese, because he had overseen the Germans driving the British to humiliation out of Europe and the British driven to defeat in Asia. Churchill wanted a smashing blow when America struck the Nazi's in Europe and was terrified as were the British military that America would move too swiftly and be repulsed.
Churchill kept preaching the Nazi's first as America's objective in fear that America would take on the Japanese first, and in that came Churchill's machinations in lying to the United States, as General Marshall of the Army was furious with the British in Marshall wanted to strike Germany in 1942 and Admiral King wanted to smash the Japanese in the Pacific immediately, instead of succoring the British in Europe.
It is vital to note the dates in this, because under British military leadership the following had taken place by the spring of 1942.
The British had been whipped twice in Europe, France and Greece and once in Africa.
The British Army had been whipped in Asia, and under British admiralty, the English had lost the battleship HMS Prince of Wales, and had allowed the Japanese to sink the remaining Dutch and American fleets in the South Pacific in the worst of disasters.
It would be the Americans finally taking command in the Pacific which brought a victory at Coral Sea in repulsing the Japanese and at Midway.
Churchill though was intent on stopping America from liberating Europe "until the fruit was ready to pick". Churchill convinced FDR via Harry Hopkins the Soviet spy to stop the invasion of Europe by the Mediterranean as the British had failed several times before in disaster.
Churchill opted for the large numbers of American's stationed in England should be launched instead in Africa in Operation Torch, led by General George S. Patton, who with great success turned the African campaign around to drive the Germans from Africa.
Operation Torch - Wikipedia
Operation Torch (8-16 November 1942) was an Anglo-American invasion of French North Africa, during the North African Campaign of the Second World War.It was aimed at reducing pressure on Allied forces in Egypt, and enabling an invasion of Southern Europe.
Note the date on Torch in being November 1942. Now note the date when the Americans landed in the underbelly of Europe at Sicily and where General Patton beat the lagging British again in conquest of the island. Yes July 1943, yet too early for Churchill's massive blow against the Nazis, but you will notice in the date that the Americans were successful in beating the Axis on their defended positions. Again the British had failed numerous times at invading Europe in this route and the Americans' were victorious in their first landing, and more importantly look at the link below concerning Normandy and the date.
Allied Invasion of Sicily | World War II | Britannica.com
Allied Invasion of Sicily, (9 July-17 August 1943), World War II event. The Anglo-American invasion and capture of Sicily was a vital stepping-stone for the campaign in Italy, although the Allies were at fault in failing to prevent the Axis from successfully evacuating their best divisions from the island to continue the defensive battle on the mainland.
Yes Normandy would be a year later in 1944 for Churchill's massive blow, which when struck, George Patton smashed the Germans again into full retreat, but remember when America struck Sicily, the entire Axis was in operation, including the full Nazi war machine in the west. The Americans were not repulsed. They won and continued the drive into Italy.
Normandy landings - Wikipedia
The Normandy landings were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day , it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.
In examination of these events, it is a fact that General Marshall of the United States was correct. The United States could have struck Europe in the underbelly in 1942, been successful and cut off Africa from the Nazi's in the operation. There never would have had to have been a Torch, as that army of Rommel would have been cut and would have had withered on the vine. Think of that for real strategic consideration, in the United States with Torch in Sicily, 9 months earlier, could have broken out into the Italian mountains and the Balkans which were already fighting the Nazi's by 1943. Hitler would never have been able to remove his forces from France out of the reality of invasion, and the Soviet's had the eastern front pinned down in stalemate.
Romania, Hungary, the Slovaks would have not stood against the Americans, and the American left bordering on the Alps would have been secure from a German attempted wheel on the American flank. The reality is in this scenario, that the United States would have been on German soil by the summer of 1943. It is a reality that the Germans would have agreed to terms of peace and the Russian raping army would never have left Russian territory to form the Iron Curtain.
The war according to Keegan was over on Churchill's terms in December of 1944 if America had not stopped bombing German energy production. The fact in all of this is General George Patton could have been Caesar of all Europe, and with a combined American and Wehrmacht Army smashed the Soviet Union and liberated all of Europe in a true United Europe, with an ally of Japan, as all Japan ever desired from America was resources and not to be humiliated at their seat at the table.
Remember that fiction that an invasion of Europe from the south would not work. Of course it did not work with the English officers in command, as they failed time and again. It worked though with the United States in control of their operation and no one ever mentions that fact which needs to be heralded and remembered in an upcoming Great Eurasian War.
Nuff Said
