The day we lost the Second World War

Posted by Matt in June 7th, 2008

This is a fictional account of what could have happened.

The rapid advance of the German army through Belgium and France in May 1940 left hundreds of thousands of British, French and Belgian troops encircled at the port of Dunkirk in northern France.

But then Hitler ordered a halt to the attack. This gave the British enough time to organise a mass evacuation, whose great success by June 4 boosted the morale of the British and hardened our resolve to fight on.

But what if Hitler had ordered his tanks to destroy the Allied forces at Dunkirk? Here, one of Britain’s leading historians, Ian Kershaw, imagines what could have happened…

World War II America (Battle Hymn of the Republic)
The Hymn has been sung at the funerals of such people as; the British hero Winston Churchill, Robert F Kennedy and Reagen to name a few. It was written amid the chaos of the American Civil War, and since it's conception has been an important part of our country's soul. When sung beautifully, it often brings tears to the eyes of real Americans.

WORLD WAR 2 BATAAN DEATH MARCH - PART 2
Go to: www.worldwar2treasure.com if you are interested in high adventure and want to participate in recovering World War 2 treasure. Massive looting as an extension of war is nothing new. The Japanese were serious, sober, and deliberate when they methodically and systematically looted thirteen Asian Countries during World War 2. They took treasure including precious diamonds and other gems, gold bullion, and solid gold Buddha's out of every hiding place. Much of this treasure did not make it back to Japan due to a World War 2 naval blockade of the Philippine islands by the United States, and has been recovered recently in underground hiding places. Widespread and systematic looting took place during World War 2 throughout Europe and Asia. For details, go to: www.worldwar2treasure.com

The First World War - War Without End 2/6
Summer 1918. The last German offensive failed to break the Allies. Unrest bordering on revolution at home spread demoralization to the German army. The central Powers's alliance was crumbling with Turkey exhausted, Bulgaria beaten, and Austro-Hungary trying to work its own armistice with the Allies. The situation was ripe for a decisive Allied victory if only they would have the will to launch a great offensive. But who would want to press on the fighting when the war is obviously nearing its end? Failure to reach a decisive military victory, coupled with vindictive terms of armistice imposed upon the German would undo all the sacrifices paid on the battlefields, sowing the seeds for the next great war in Europe.

How World War III Began - Act 1/2
George W. Bush said even knowledge could spark the west into launching World War III, "I told people if you are interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems you ought to be interested in preventing them [IRAN] from having the KNOWLEDGE necessary to make a nuclear weapon." - White House, October 2007. This 20 minute Wise Up Journal and We Are Change Ireland film shows the build up to World War III is in place waiting for the right spark and exposes the hypocrisy of the United Nations. This film Proves using main stream media it's self that Georgia, a state backed by the U.S. and NATO, launched a disgraceful attack on the Russian population of South Ossetia. The U.S. leaders on both sides are exposed as shills by using their own words. The powerbrokers, war advisors, behind the scenes...

The Road to War: Episode 3 - Japan :: [Part 1 of 5]
The Road to War, by Christopher Warren (BBC) Were leaders in Britain and France so scarred by the carnage of World War I that they failed to stand up to Hitler as he began his march through Europe, thus providing the spark that would become World War II? Was Czechoslovakia abandoned by Britain and France, sacrificed in the face of Hitler's aggression? In The Road to War, acclaimed historians Richard Overy and Andrew Wheatcroft cogently piece together a globe fractured by war to show how conditions such as the lack of sophisticated intelligence-gathering techniques, limited communication, and events in the USSR and the Far East all conspired to forge a world of shifting alliances, and difficult decisions. 4 Episodes - 20 Parts: Episode 1 - Great Britain Episode 2 - Italy Episode 3 -...
