Lol although we had pretty much stripped our land bare in that war. Any men over 16 and under 75 were out fighting the Germans. And when we had run out of weapons and tanks we were sending out anything made of metal to fight the Nazi's with.

Pots, pans, garden equipment, tables, bathtubs and sinks. All of it was being launched south across the sea. We were making vegetable bombs and hurling cattle across the channel, whilst you guys were taking a leisurely breakfast.
