More Yugoslavs died in WWII than the Brits, who lost around 370,000 people. The Soviets lost 20 million.
Sorry to burst the national myth but the UK suffered pretty much the least out of almost every other combatant.

US aid was enormous.zorg wrote: Fri Sep 27, 2024 2:13 pmThat did not stop them from sharing in the bounty.Gramsci wrote: Fri Sep 27, 2024 1:32 pmThe UK lost WWII and were then rescued by the United States, its Imperial troops and most importantly the Soviet Union.
