Grow up, guys.
...hey I respect what the English did but to not see it as a group effort in defeating the Axis Powers is sad.

The resistance movements in the Netherlands and France amongst others did a bunch to help win World War II.


I'm sorry if I came across as not respecting what the British did but I'll be damned if I am going to let anyone berate my country and boo my National Anthem, I am sure you understand my frustration.
Nice One, Lyle. My post wasn't aimed at anyone specifically just at the under riding tone of the topic regarding WW2.

As you rightly say the Allies effort was a joint one with many different countries involved. My Grandfather in the 53rd Welsh regiment helped liberate towns in Holland that were under occupation.

Also I agree that anyone booing another countries National anthem is showing a lack of respect and it shouldn't be accepted or condoned.
