Types of Victory

 Do we say these days that Tommy Atkins had the victory, after all?


It's hard to know, isn't it? Churchill lost the election 1945 after he had literally just defeated Hitler.  There are many lessons we might draw from this, but one is that we don't actually believe as a nation what we swear on our grandmother's grave that we do.

    The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and the Nazis. 80% of all German and its allied casualties were inflicted by the Red Army. They would have won, if had sat out the European war, although it would have taken much longer. Our main reason for invading Europe was to prevent Soviet occupation of all of Europe.
