Harris Manchester and the Second World War
A specialised section of Naval Intelligence, the Inter-Service Topographical Department [ISTD], had been established early in the War and Manchester College soon became its Headquarters. Every available inch of space in the College was taken over by the section.

Well, the #USSR did start out the war by carving up #Poland with the #ThirdReich, so they had quite a bit to make up for, #USA didn't join in until #PearlHarbour, if #UK had lost #BattleofBritain it might have meant the #DDayLandings weren't possible,
80 years after WW2 ended in Europe, Britons tend to think the UK did more than the USA or Soviets to defeat the Nazis
UK: 41%
Soviet Union: 17%
USA: 14%
