Excluding the Holocaust, you Indians should thank Adolf Hitler/Nazis for what they did. If he did not damage the British military and economy you still be under British rule.

What about you

For Churchill was a great leader
O'Connor disobeyed timid orders
with 36,000 gutsy Indians
dashed far beyond Libyan borders
& gulped 130,000 Italians
with little pomp, few losses & plans.

For Churchill was a great leader
So he took O'Connor's best troops,
sent them to Greece, but oops,
forgot again that planes beat
him shamefully in Norway & France
& his dozens of Hurricanes just couldn't dance
salvation came again by glorious evacuation.

For Churchill was a great leader
So he dumped O'Connor for a lord
whom Rommel promptly floored
O'Connor was sent again to advice
& the lord & the hero prisoners fell
& then broke loose all hell!

For Churchill was a great leader
He realized that he had in peace dismantled
the Malta that Rommel's supplies could sink
so he sent a few dozen planes in a wink
to fight the hundreds of the axis
the few would always save all British *****.

For Churchill was a great leader
He removed the planes from Crete
but thought destroying the aerodromes indiscrete
so Gerry used them to great advantage
and yet again with his planes and few men
forced Churchill to an evacuation vintage

For Churchill was a great leader
When Ritchie was by Rommel trounced
Auchinleck was to take the flak
When Rommel against el Alamein I bounced
Monty replaced Auchinleck for not pursuing
When Rommel against el Alamein II bounced
Monty was glorified for not pursuing
when heroes are scarce the runt is ace

For Churchill was a great leader
So he sent 100,000 men to Singapore
with a few old planes and cannon poor
with tough orders & speeches but not a tank.
When hundreds of planes his warships sank
& his impregnable bastion in weeks fell
the mighty leader enraged would yell
If only my generals could fight well!

For Churchill was a great leader
He had few tanks & planes in HK, Burma & Ceylon
He had sent them to Stalin who knew them to lose
but not how to use, despite having legions
yet had more to admire than beastly empire
peoples he hated with beastly religions

For Churchill was a great leader
Indeed the empire's finest hours
5 million Indians yet no generals or pensions
few pilots and no pretensions
1 million Canadians plus Anzacs, SAs, Poles
& free French playing minor roles
30 billion dollars & 10 million yanks
or 20 million Soviets with 100,000 tanks
they did little to deserve the empire's thanks
for without Monty and Churchill doomed were the ranks

For Churchill was a great leader
he conceived & ruined the Norwegian campaign
but it was Chamberlain who took blame & disdain
his huge RN lost a pilot-loaded carrier to Gerry’s few cannon naval
& after sinking or damaging most of the few German vessels
enemy planes to expel him from Norway were able
& hundreds of those planes flew to France!

For Churchill was a great leader
RAF left all the Spitfires & best Hurricanes
in Britain & lost its pilots in France in old cans.
It had many formidable planes w/o pilot
but would be saved by a foreigners’ lot,
deft legless Bader & daft Göring & Adolf
bright imperial planning or divine plot?

For Churchill was a great leader
had he stuck it in Norway, tying up Gerry´s planes
& sent all the best fighters to France
the Stukas would have flown in death lanes
& Guderian’s armoured knights met their lance
Instead of arriving in the coast, despite the French
& Royal navies’ cannon’s long range!

For Churchill was a great leader
O'Connor disobeyed timid orders
with 36,000 gutsy Indians
dashed far beyond Libyan borders
& gulped 130,000 Italians
with little pomp, so few losses & plans!

For Churchill was a great leader
with tons of in Libya captured ammo & guns
brave Greeks in a mania took part of Albania
but soon Mussolini brought in the Huns.
instead of taking Tripoli or Sicily
Churchill took O'Connor's best troops,
sent them to Greece, but oops,
forgot again that German planes beat
him shamefully in Norway & France
& his dozens of Hurricanes just couldn't dance
salvation came again by glorious evacuation°

so Gerry used them to great advantage
and yet again with his planes and few men
forced Churchill to an evacuation vintage
& chased from an island the mighty RN!

For Churchill was a great leader
neutral Persia was invaded by Soviets & Indians
securing the oil & access to L-L supplies
America fights Japs. Soviets & Colonials fight Gerry
Britons lead and raze houses in nightly raids scary

For Churchill was a great leader
when Ritchie was by Rommel trounced
Auchinleck was to take the flak
when Rommel against el Alamein I bounced
Monty replaced Auchinleck for not pursuing
when Rommel against el Alamein II bounced
Monty was glorified for not pursuing
Rommel’s 50 worn tanks with his 500 spewing
when heroes are scarce the runt is ace!

For Churchill was a great leader
when Jap planes attacked mighty Ceylon
Churchill’s fleet to Kenya was sent on the run
& kept out of the Indian Ocean, until by Doolitle’s raid
the Jap carrier back to the Pacific to sail was made
again the axis the mighty RN an island, neigh an ocean forbade!

For Churchill was a great leader
he spent a fortune deceiving Gerry about D-day
might as well have announced the time, place & way
for even with all Gerry’s tanks, cannon & men in Normandy
they would have vanished with 12,000 allied planes handy
& hundreds of naval cannon covering a few miles sandy

For Churchill was a great leader
indeed the empire's finest hours

[Hello_10]

There is no such distinction made for the events of the past as long as they were not (Muslims & hindus, or people of areas of current India and Pakistan) standing against each other.They all fought together !!

true, but they didnt fought for their people/ their motherland, but for their personal benefits and for their families. similarly how Gorakhas fight for India and get rewards in return of their fighting ability. British used to take out Indian skills and brave people, give them personal benefits to their families, and in return they got service of these talented skilled people for their industries and brave people for their military for over 1.5 century, regardless what happened to India, the nation and its common people. and this way one of the top two richest countries of the world till 18th century, India, became very poor till 1947. and now the same skilled people of Indian subcontinent work for their own nations and their military defend their own people/ their motherland.

My Grandfather fought in World War II.

He fought in North Africa and was captured by the Germans in 1942 and spend the rest of the war in a Prison Camp located in Italy.

His camp was liberated by Canadian soldiers in April 1945.

That is one of the reasons my father decided to immigrate to Canada.
