Quote redacted Depends on your definition of victorious. Britain was on the winning side (having given the Germans a lot of bloody noses on the way) but, ultimately depended on the US and the USSR for the final victory.But... we lost a whole lot as result of being on the winning side, most of our wealth having been made over the US to pay for munitions.

It's not strictly true that Britain and France delclared war in order to liberate Poland. Poland was more a 'line in the sand', an ultimatum to Hitler that further aggression in Europe wouldn't be tolerated. I don't think it was ever the intention to send troops there as neither Britain or France were in a position to do so, even if they'd wanted to.

Quote redacted In reality we won but technically we did not fulfil our primary objective. The primary objective was the defeat of Germany and I think that was achieved, don't you?
