Although the US was helping with the lend lease act, I think that was the name of it, but I think we took too long to join the war, but public sentiment was against involvement.
If it wasn't for that US aid the Brits would of gone out like the French

Yes it was a combination of these things , being an Island helped , U.S. help and the Russian winter all aided the victory for allied forces.
Thank you to all those people who laid down their lives for us.
theres a lot more to it than the help from the US and the fact we are an island

the british war tactics were very good through out the war

we also made very good use of technologies, Radar for instance was massive, technology that the germans had as well but didnt realise the benefits

and dont forget at one point we werent just fighting germany, it was Britain and the resistance v virtually the whole of europe barring Russia
