Are there any national symbols in Switzerland?
Ideologically there is the national hero Wilhelm (Guillaume, Gulielmo - sorry, but there are a lot of languages in Switzerland) Tell referencing the times when Switzerland was founded as a defence agreement... as it was occupied a long time... just giving the ambiguous feeling Swiss people have towards their bigger brothers Germany and Austria (which was larger in those times) knowing they are culturally linked but not liked that much nevertheless (who likes the occupants?).
The Swiss general in ww2 (Henri Guisan) has reached some stage of national symbol later on... and overall - due to its history - the army itself is a national symbol.
Nope! Germanys only option was to bomb from the air ( The Battle Of Britain),but the British R.A.F defeated the Germans, the British were far to advanced in pretty much everything,because they pretty much invented everything.
How did us help Britain fight Germany?
After the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Nazi Germany declared war on the USA, which would have allowed them to attack American shipping in the North Atlantic. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to pool their resources which would mean British forces training in America and American forces being stationed in Britain for the anticipated invasion of mainland Europe which eventually started on D-Day - 6th June 1944. Britain on its own would not have been able to carry out that invasion due to overpowering manpower and firepower of the well defended French coast. The population of the US is about five times that of the UK, so their extra manpower was essential.
