Hi Richard,

The bashing I have read or heard was the inability and poor preparation of Britain's land forces to wage war. It was "generally" aimed at the polly's and the strategists.

"We will go over there and kick ar!!!!!!! and show them we mean business. The German war machine was not respected even after it had swept all in it's path.

The same result would have been achieved if the troops had stayed at home.

" No, still an Aussie living in Victoria.

Not sure about your flag though?

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
