For me, I think the UK is in a very good position to block off the coastline of the whole of Europe. This was very beneficial for the operations of the British Navy. The British Navy once inherited the famous battleship Bismarck of Nazi Germany.
-
The British Navy performed very well during World War II, setting an unprecedented record of one dozen fours. They imposed a total blockade on the Nazis, which ultimately stifled their development.
-
The British Navy during World War II was an invincible force, and they helped many fascist countries win battles. And there is almost no record of defeat.
-
Their navy, because Cook drew a map for them, brought the British navy to take off quickly!
-
During World War I, the British Navy was the strongest in the world, so which country was second? Not the United States, not Japan.
-
The performance of the British Army in the early stage of World War II disgraced the British Empire, which was caused by three reasons, one is that the appeasement policy adopted by Chamberlain limited the play of the British army, the second is that in the face of the sudden new tactics of the German large-scale armored cluster blitzkrieg, there is no way to deal with it, and the third is that the will to fight is not as good as the German army, it is these three reasons that the British army was driven out of the European continent by the German army in just a few months, and the British Empire suffered unprecedented humiliation. Actively cooperated with the U.S. military and achieved certain results, but at this time, the German army faced by the United States and Britain was no longer the German army in the early stage of World War II, and the elite of the German army was almost exhausted in the Soviet battlefield.
-
The British troops can only be said to be very poor in some ways, but not in all of them.
As we know, the Royal Air Service Corps (SAS), which was formed in World War II, can they be said to be poor in combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of British special forces such as the Red Devils and so on has surpassed that of the special forces of many countries at that time.
The United States and the Soviet Union have all suffered defeats from the Germans, does this mean that the United States and the Soviet Union are inferior in terms of troops?
In Asia, the reason why Britain was defeated in one blow was because Britain did not adapt to the Asian combat environment, and the Malay Tiger Yamashita Fumi could ignore Britain and sweep away Southeast Asia all the way, that is, Britain was still stuck in World War I, or the operational idea that evolved from World War I, and this was not at the same level as Japan's policy of rapid warfare, and you see, the US troops in the Philippines fled before the Japanese were not Japanese, and this does not mean that Britain's troops are poor, and it can only be said that British troops have poor adaptability.
All in all, the British army was still very professional, at least in North Africa, and don't forget that after Normandy, the commander-in-chief of the main forces on the Western Front was Montgomery and the British field marshal.
-
The British Army, in general, could not defeat Germany in Europe and the French Army, and was almost completely annihilated. It's okay in Africa (but mostly African soldiers, who have done it in Italy, but I feel like it's a fluke.)
-
The British Army did not fight any good battles in World War II except that it would surrender.
-
The British Navy was once the best in the world.
Moreover, before World War I, Britain pursued a double-power policy in order to maintain its naval superiority.
That is, the total number of capital ships of any two naval states of the world, that is, battleships and battlecruisers, could not exceed that of Great Britain.
And after the start of the First World War, the number of capital ships of the German Navy was really less than 1 2

United States. Britain was originally the world's strongest at that time, and the command and combat skills of the Royal Navy were impeccable, and it may have suffered a slight loss in numbers. However, after the surrender of France, the Germans used French airfields to bomb the British mainland, destroying Britain's industrial capacity.
Britain was fighting on its own soil for a considerable period of time, and as a result, its already inferior war potential to the United States was further weakened.
In addition, before the United States entered the war, Britain was alone in confrontation with the Axis powers, and was generally at a disadvantage, and it was necessary to develop a targeted strategy. For example, the British actually attach great importance to the value of aircraft carriers, but since they mainly operate in coastal waters, the number of heavy aircraft carriers does not need to be so large. On the contrary, because the Germans always like to engage in wolf pack warfare, Britain needs a large number of escort destroyers and escort aircraft carriers, but this kind of escort fleet is incomparable with the aircraft carrier fleet of the United States and Japan during the Pacific War.
It's not that Britain can't do it, but he didn't need it at the time, and he still wants to save these limited resources and invest them on the ground battlefield in North Africa.
So, in general, the U.S. Navy was stronger in World War II.
-
During World War II, the United States was the strongest.
-
The United States is strong, and getting off an aircraft carrier is like laying an egg and beating Japan into a dog.
-
The most glorious achievement of the German army was that the U14 penetrated deep into the British Scarbavrow on the night of October 13, sinking the British aircraft carrier "Royal Oak". This success promoted Dunritz to admiral, inaugurated him as commander-in-chief of the submarine fleet, and enabled him to have direct contact with Hitler. On Hitler's side, he instilled in him such thoughts:
The British could be defeated only by submarine warfare. Dunritz's "wolf pack" wreaked havoc in the Atlantic, inflicting huge losses on the Allies.
-
As a result of the Anglo-Spanish War, Spain lost its colonies and maritime power. Britain was in the midst of an upswing in capitalist development, and it was logical to win these wars.
Britain had a relatively powerful navy equipped with the first-rate ** of the time, which was also reflected in the military scholarship of the British naval authorities, such as active activity on sea lines of communication, large-scale blockade operations, skillful timing of major assaults, etc.
The Battle of Leyte Gulf refers to the general term for four relatively independent but interrelated naval and air battles and several other sporadic naval and air battles that took place in the waters around Leyte Gulf in the Philippines between October 23 and October 26, 1944. >>>More
