Bloomin' Unelected Officials

[BlasterBates]

you know it was their country that was invaded not ours? We were there to help but we had to catch the ferry.

As I said from your dodgy link they claimed the French won the battle of the Somme the figures disagree with you.

I didn't post any dodgy link; no-one disputes that the Somme was a largely British offensive, but it failed and down in Verdun the French inflicted a huge amount of damage to the German army as well as playing a significant role in the battle of the Somme.

WWII probably wouldn't have happened if if there hadn't been a referendum or 2 to get the NS into power, think about it...

well meridian's link that I criticised suggests otherwise failing to mention the British or other nationalities.

1916 - Battle of the Somme - July 1st-November 18thThe battle, like many others in World War I, results in a draw between French and German forces.

This was what I was ridiculing. The Somme one of our bloodiest fights rescuing France and they don't even mention the British so that link is crap.

Yes Verdun was a mostly French / German fight interestingly this link mentions others mattered look at point 7&8.

2. Waterloo - if only the English hadn't eaten all our horses.
3. Stalingrad it was a close thing but really the french won it, Ivan is a very common name in Bordeaux.
4. Iwo Jima - goodness knows what would have happened if the yanks hadn't had french toast that morning.

well he does think the EU is democratic so its not that much of a step for him to believe the third Reich was.

Must be a different link to the one he posted. That link does not state that the French won the battle of the Somme.
That link does state times that the French army working with other armies were on the victorious side, but the idea of working with others is anathema to you, hence why you probably couldn't read the link correctly.

Do Keep up at the back, Meridian posted a link, Blaster then defended him so inherited his sources.

Do keep up with your own words...

You claimed the link said the French won the battle of the Somme.

The link does not state that the French won the battle of the Somme.

Do you recognise the difference between your claim and the facts?

Context is that you made it up.
