Best WW2 story ever: I grew up hearing my grandfather fought in the pacific in WW2 and was shot down in a plane by the Japanese, spent 6 weeks in a coma, came out, was sent home and discharged. Well, turns out he actually got drunk with some buddies, STOLE a plane, crashed it and put himself in a coma for 6 weeks. Grew up my entire life thinking my grandpa was a war hero. Turns out, he was just a stupid 19 year old drunk who pounded too much whiskey and stole a fucking plane. I personally prefer the real story to the fabrication.

Well Stalin himself said WW2 that they could not have won the war without the millions of tons of Military vehicles, food, ammo etc etc provided by the US and I'm pretty sure that US D-Day landing and liberating from the West helped quite a bit, and those couple of big bombs on Japan forcing them to immediately surrender unconditionally helped.... So I can make a pretty good argument that we did ... PS Your Welcome!!

[@Dingeraye1]

I'm have a lowly B.A. in History. I have to admit being surprised at what our learned friend doesn't know considering his education. He should at least have acknowledged that he was fuzzy on some details (which he does later), no shame in that. A few glaring ones: 1. There were 5 landing beaches on D-Day. 2. The Australians landed troops on D-Day. He seems pretty solid on the American stuff as you would expect, maybe to the exclusion of other countries' participation. A common criticism of Americans' recounting history. While MacArthur took centre stage for the signing of the Peace on the USS Missouri, there were representatives from UK, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The Netherlands. Only fair, since they had been fighting the war with Japan for more than two years before ole' Doug showed up. The discussion about "The Great Escape" is enlightening. There were no Americans in "The Great Escape" in reality. It was an accommodation in the movie because Hollywood knew Americans wouldn't watch it otherwise. The real people who were involved in the production were okay with it, because they wanted the story told. The guy who was depicted by Charles Bronson - "The Tunnel King" - was actually a guy from Toronto: Wally Floody. Still, I'm thrilled "people of a certain age" are taking an interest in and talking about this stuff. Atta go Jim!

Bit of info from The Netherlands: The Dutch were run over in 3 days. This wasnt because we welcomed the Nazi's, but we tried to pull off a "we are neutral" (feel free to do the accent). The Dutch army was poorly equiped with WWl weapons and the finishing blow was a brutal bombardement on the port city of Rotterdam. Still there are German Tourists in Rotterdam asking where the 'Altstadt' or historical city is. The average Rotterdam dockworker does not respond well to this question ;)

In my small town, Narvik, Hitler had his first defeat of WW2. Our harbour is the only all year round ice free harbour in the North that can transport iron ore from Sweden, so it was extremely important. The battle went on for months after Norway had surrendered. Aided by English, French and Polish soldiers there was heavy fighting here. The nazis took it back in the end though, but their fleet paid a heavy prize. Our fjords are littered with warships.

[@supernovaleftover1812]

Norway fought hard, for and with the allies, before and after occupation.

I always found it mildly confusing when english speakers referred to “Das Dritte Reich” as “The Third Reich”, why translate only 2 of the 3 words? It’s meaning is “The Third Empire” and as far as I have learned it referred to the previous big mainland Europe empires: The Roman Empire and The Holy Roman Empire. (The latter of which had nothing to do with Rome or Romans and if I remember correctly was mostly germanic) Also another fun thing about not translating things, english speakers saying “The Führer”, which basically just means “leader”. They still have some führers, but these days it’s mostly chill guys like a “Bergführer” (Mountain Leader) which is a mountain guide. Also had a chuckle while typing this when I translated “Panzerfaust” for no reason at all and thought to myself that “Tank Fist” would be a hilarious title for a Porn where girthy lesbians punch each other in certain parts of their anatomy. But that might’ve only been funny to me because I’ve watched too many Jim Jefferies specials on repeat…

I recently watched on a site the death counts during WWII by year, moving and changing over the years. I knew Russia had the most losses with over 24 million but China came in 2nd with huge losses too of about 20 million. China actually had the top losses for quite some time, until Russia's count eventually surpassed it. Germany came in 3rd with almost 9 million and Poland 4th with about 5.6 million. The Dutch East Indies had a surprisingly high number and India had about 2.5 million. Japan had about 3 million. Then you add up all the other countries involved, it is a shockingly high number.

There were about 2 million troops involved and a number of battles, so the last battle of the war would have been fought between Russians and Japanese in Manchuria or Korea, with the fighting lasting up until the end of the war on 2nd of September 1945.
