二战时期英国军队军备规模述评

Review of the Size of British Army and Armaments during World War Ⅱ

英国作为"日不落"帝国,拥有雄厚的世界级工业基础和强大的军事实力。在二战中,英军与法西斯德军的战损比接近于一比一,且具备精良的武器和高素质的军事人才,其战斗能力不输于德军。英军属于反法西斯同盟国的三大军事力量之一,其组成不仅包含本土的军队,还包括其殖民地、自治领的部队。从二战爆发到二战结束,英军的军队规模和武器规模迅速扩张,其兵力动员也随着战事升级而快速增长,最高时达到了900余万。无论是不列颠空战,还是敦刻尔克大撤退,英军的表现都在二战军事史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。

Britain,as the"no sunset"empire of the time,has a great world-class industrial base and strong military strength.In World WarⅡ,war-loss ratio of the British and Fascist German is close to one to one.Britain had the sophisticated weapons and high-quality military personnel,its combat ability is comparable to that of the German army.The British Army belongs to one of the three major military forces of the anti-fascist allies,andit includes not only the lo-cal army,but also its colonial and self-governing Dominion's forces.From the out-break of World War II to the end of war,the size of the army and weaponry of the British army expanded rapidly,and its troop mobilization grew rapidly as the war escalated,reaching a maximum of a little more than 9 million.Whether it was the British Air War,the Great Retreat of Dunkirk,the Battle of North Africa,the sea Battle of the Mediterranean,etc.,the British performance leaves its own mark in the military history of World WarⅡ.
