>Yes. I agree that America finally entering the war is what turned the tide. But that does not negate the contribution of the Brits. Of course, I may be a bit biased since my husband is British and served in the royal navy for almost 14 years <g>.

I agree with you completely. Remove any of the Allies and I don't think the war would have been won. England was in it a lot longer than we were and it was fought on their soil. Other than Pearl Harbor, it all happened a long way from the U.S.

I knew Andy was in the RN but didn't know it was that long.
