- FDR maintained continuous contact with the Prime Minister of the UK (England).

He had no idea the Japanese would specifically bomb Pearl Harbor on 12-7-1941 but may have hoped they would do something to make Americans want to go to war.

How many tanks was destroyed in World War 2?
An exact count of destroyed tanks was not kept by everyone in WW2. Some of the battles had exact counts but some places did not. You have to remember tanks were being used by the Allies and the Axis forces. You can believe they were not always going to reveal to one another how many they lost. Some of the tank troops were surprised 30 to 50 years later how many were really destroyed when they learned the truth. I would hazard a guess it could be close to 10 thousand world wide.

That isn't to say that Neutral countries weren't attacked or invaded (i.e. Norway, Holland & Belgium).
