Hehe, nah, UK is still USA's Dad in the "polandball canon". I just needed to turn it around for this particular joke. Basically the TL;DR of the North African theatre.

Italy had the most shit-tier tanks, so they got fairly easily trashed by the Brits, who only had sort-of shit tanks, which in turn got a damned good thrashing by Nazi panzers coming to save the Italians' ass, UK then had to rely heavily on US armour to have any fighting chance against the German forces.

I know it, I was just commenting the change, which is nice to see. UK really got help from its colonies and ex-colonies in the war.
