It was both but mainly the Lancaster - as i've said before - if the Lancaster crews were flying Amiot 143's or something then they would've been dog meat against the Luftwaffe!

In a nutshell , it was the Conviction-of-the-Commonwealth that it was Right to fight this tyranny Hitler had created in Europe, and the threat to the Freedom of the Free World. After the Great War , another Generation of Young People saw a Job that had be done , and enlisted. We lost in France and consolidated back in Britain. By then, Commonwealth troops were assembling and the Atlantic and Dominion convoys reinforced the Battle of Britain. - The rest has been said ; Radar , Hitler as C-in-C and his decisions Cost Germany the War. But the Grit to Fight back that came from that Generation of The Allies , won the War. - It was Churchill that stirred 'em up too. - Do you think Today's Generation could do the same thing , if asked ???

britain aint much better, the germans shuld have won the war, their planes were much better. the me-410 was in my opinion the mest heavy fighter ever

 

[kiwimac]

Actually the FW-187 Falke was the best heavy fighter of WW2 but the RLM would not build the darn thing.

The Germans had better planes? I think not. They were good but not better. The P-51, Spitfire MK. XIV, P-47 and P-38 all matched up to anything Germany threw at them in late war.

The American Delta Force is good, not as good as the SAS but they are still good. The reason being is they don't follow the stupid American military traditions.

the Germans were well on their way to developing atomic fission when the USA was tipped off of their plans by one of their scientists. The USA spent untold amouts of money to beat the Germans in this goal. We had the brainpower and the manuacturing ability to get our a-bomb operational first . A German U-boat was sent to Japan with a cargo of uranium but their mission was compromised and their scientist commited suicide aboard the U-boat. There are a lot of what-ifs that we can spend years arguing about who was better at weapons. I think that if the Germans had more raw materials available to develop their atomic research the war might have ended differently.
