I heard an old comedy bit this afternoon. An American comedian was
talking about the British and their attitude about Americans and how
heckler one once asked what the Americans had done for them. He said if
it wasn't for the US the guy would have been heckling in German. That
would indicate a lack of understanding of history on the part of one of
them. Germany had planned to invade England. They started with the
Battle of Britain with the aim of annihilating the RAF to achieve air
superiority. The British won that one and thwarted the invasion attempt.
By that time they had already been fighting Germany for two years, and
the Americans had not yet come into the fight. Apparently, the British
not speaking German had nothing at all to do with the Americans.
