Never heard any of those myths. Then again, I was born when the British Empire was still alive and well.

I was stunned when I arrived in the States and learnt that Americans thought they had won WWIi on behalf of the allies

WWII started in September 1939 when the British Empire and France declared war in Germany after Germany invaded Poland. Both my parents were veterans,and my father was a holicaust survivor as well. He escaped and jouned the airforce.
