Talk:World War II

India in the Allies belligerents

Why is there no mention of the Commonwealth forces that fought in the war? India also fought in this war but is not listed, this seems a bit of an insult against the troops that fought in this war. Although the United Kingdom is included it is not made clear that the commonwealth took part in this war. The United Kingdom has never and does not include India and these nations, it is inaccurate and lazy to leave out India's role in this conflict. The United Kingdom exclusively refers to the British Isles and Northern Island, this is an inaccurate and unfair representation of the actual commonwealth forces that took part.

I suggest either adding in British India in the belligerents or putting them at least under client states, that or removing the 'United Kingdom' and replacing it with something more inclusive for the actual forces involved.

For more information on India's role in the war please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_in_World_War_II

Battles of Narvik

Maybe a reference to it should be added, German shipping loses at the Battle, particularly of destroyers was one of the contributing factors into the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion. The loss of so many surface ships to a relatively small Navy (compared to RN)at this early stage of the war limited Germany's ability to create task forces ect. The Battle was also significant in highlighting the weaknessess in Germany's so far invincible war machine, coupled with the loss of the Graf Spee (1939), and the Bismarck (1941) it showed that the Kreigsmarine was ill equipped to deal with the Royal Navy, this led to the increased use of U-Boats as opposed to surface ships. Perhaps these early loses were a decisive factor in deciding how the Battle of the Atlantic would be fought?

When Soviet joined the War?

According to the site Soviet participation in WWII started in 1941. This is just not true since they invaded Poland in 1939 just after the Germans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.191.67.66 (talk) 12:12, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

The 1941 date is in reference to their involvement with the Allies. — Richard BB 14:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, as you can see, History according to the Wikipedia list of Axis and Allies does not indicate that the USSR had a pact with Germany and invaded Poland. That is the Wikipedia truth, get used to it, no need for a footnote. Sorry, I tried, but got disenchanted with Wikipedia as History has no chance against propaganda. BTW, this comment will probably be erased soon, just as those that try for the Truth, not the made-up truth of a few professionals YamaPlos talk 05:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

This is my final say. Also there is a strange system here I think, a user sees everything like codes and IP adressses and also a user can delete or change other people's comments. So I am not going to discuss it further. Thank you for answering also. There are some respected people's comments here. I suppose it would be good for the article to remain completely out of the discussion of what is a war crime and what is not. http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/mehdi-hasan/2010/08/hiroshima-war-japanese — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enginhakvar (talk • contribs)

Kingdom of Italy as Allies?

Shouldn't state that the Kingdom of Italy be declared an allied nation after 1943 to the remaining of the European war?
