Yes. I heard an interesting way of putting the approaches of the two sides to technology the other day. It was that the allied approach in WWII was to perfect the weapons of the 1930s, while the Germans (due in part to their material inferiority) tried instead to win by building the weapons of the 1950s. Some truth to it, I thought.

I don't give a fúck if he was tearing around the stratosphere stark bóllocks naked at the speed of sound and crapping all over the Hun c. If the miserable c'unt wouldn't sing along with Dame Vera then he was a frost. And if you don't sing along to the same song with Her Majesty this coming VE day then you're a stuck up, horse buggering frost yourself!

Yes, although they were a bit slow. If they'd put their backs into it, they could've dropped it on Berlin in front of the advancing Soviet army and Comrade Stalin would have had to wind his fúcking neck in a bit. As it was, they had to spaff it away on the Nips.
