I love how they all had to step on Hitler lmao

I wonder if they put his portrait inside the toilet bowls of the soldiers' quarters. One of several men who honestly might be worthy of such dishonor.

I love the British are like: "Put the hobnobs away and get out the Donuts, the Americans are coming"

This was Churchill's dream for the 2 + long years England stood alone. He even said in a speech, "...until the New World comes to the aid of the Old." He was always calling out to the United States in his speeches.

Why they call it the new world?

[@aWILDsomethingCAME]

its probably a reference to the colonial era when the anglo colonies in the "new world" (the americas) were still a part of the empire, specifically the U.S. in this case
