See what I mean? Endless contempt for Americans, while excusing your own, far worse crimes. You people have a real problem with being defensive.

Norway put up a pretty decent fight, all things considered,

62 whole days! Hey, don’t you ridicule the Poles for folding faster than Superman on laundry day? They held out for 40 days.

crippled the Nazi Nuclear Progam

That program never had a chance. There was zero possibility of them ever actually making a bomb.

save 15000 SS Chuds

How many Americans joined the SS? You see how easy this is?

And I love the anti-NATO sentiment. Trump could have written that himself.

Poland is a laughingstock of Europe because of that. They charged German tanks with cavalry. That’s how the story goes.

I’m no fan of the Second Polish Republic (grumble Warsaw grumble should have won), but The Charge at Krojanty (against a motorised infantry division with armoured cars) was a) successful and b) as glorious as war gets.

I’m not European, and our crimes are…about equal to the USA, really. Yay settler colonialism.

62 whole days! Hey, don’t you ridicule the Poles for folding faster than Superman on laundry day? They held out for 40 days.

Poles underperformed in the initial invasion, it’s true, they also had an army of 1 million to Norway’s 50,000.

That program never had a chance. There was zero possibility of them ever actually making a bomb.

They didn’t have the funding, but until 1942 they were pretty close to where the US was in technical capability.

At least several dozen, probably several hundred. When did the Yanks join the war again? Oh yeah, after the Nazi’s declared war on you. It is easy isn’t it?

What is this a pro-NATO sub now?

When did the Yanks join the war again?

Roosevelt was doing everything he could to get a war started. There was an undeclared war in the Atlantic. The American people had fled Europe, and were deeply suspicious of getting involved in the old country’s problems. What more did you want him to do? He cut Japan off from its oil supplies and boxed them in to declaring war.

At least several dozen, probably several hundred.

Five. As opposed to the Scandinavians who happily volunteered to fill up entire SS divisions. SS Division Wiking, SS Division Nordland, you get the idea.

if Roosevelt gets compliments for the quasi-war in the Atlantic and giving material, then Norway and Denmark at least deserve credit for openly fighting, even if only for a while. If they only could last one day fighting back and did so, that would be as worthy of praise as if they lasted 100. The point is they did oppose the Nazis, and at that moment moreso than america

No, I am criticizing them for being Nazi collaborators. I’m more than a little shocked at the angry denial of complicity in Nazi war crimes in this thread. Add to it words that could have been written by Trump, and I think I’ve had enough internet for the day. I’m gonna go outside and walk in the park.
