Huh? British? Yeah, good thing they developed the P-51 and the B-17, the modern aircraft carrier, the atomic bomb, the Battle of Midway, the Russian winters, Germany's lack of natural resources, Eisenhower, Patton, Nimitz, MacArthur, and the fortitude of the American military and people... :rolleyes:
I believe that the original post made reference to technological developments. I think that if you look into the matter, you'll find that probably the single most important technological achievement leading to the victory in WW2 was the British contribution of the cavity magnetron, which gave the allies radar.
