Seventy years ago the U.K declared war on Germany
And they were alone !


WW 2.0 started on Sept 1, when Germany invaded Poland.

It took England and France 3 days to decide what to do next. They
eventually declared war, then did nothing through the phoney war until
May 10, 1940, when Germany reminded them that they were at war by
invading the Benelux countries.

Are you sure you really want to celebrate Sept 3? It seems more like
a national embarassement than something to celebrate.
