By the same token, it is a charming conceit amongst Brits, that they "stood alone".
The Commonwealth countries may well say:-"What are we, chopped liver?"
A general rule to go by with "the Mother Country" is that we all regarded as "British" when there is something particularly nasty going for Brits.
Other times, we are "Someone they don't know well, think they made the coffee, or something."
I don't think anybody says that any more and generally when it was said it was said by idiots who weren't there. My father fought alongside Indians and Gurkhas, we conspicuously had RAF squadrons styled like 123 (Canadian) Squadron during the Battle of Britain (just under 73,000 Canadians served in the Air Force in Britain alone in WWII, 100,000 Canadians served in the RCAF in Canada training pilots from all over the Commonwealth).
We even risked letting some of your lot loose over here, like 456 Squadron flying night fighters out of Anglesey. Had to keep them somewhere isolated because, for the life of them, they couldn't brew a proper cup of tea and we had to protect the natives from being offended by the sacrilege - you do not boil the tea leaves in a billy can and you don't put the milk in from a live sheep! The claim that the Australians insisted on being posted there in Wales because there were sheep is, I'm sure, a scurrilous rumour. 
But of course you fail to mention that there were American volunteers in the RAF too. Can't do that. It would invalidate your rant.
Damn Yankees.

A few individuals no doubt, so what's your thesis, that those few individuals kept us going until you lot graciously turned up over two years late and then tried to take all the credit? And there's no rant, I (and everybody else in the world whose country was on the allied side) just get fed up of Americans who claim they won the whole thing and take credit for the world not being under Nazi rule when in fact America (as a whole) strenuously avoided getting involved until it was stuffed in their faces by Pearl Harbour. We're grateful you finally joined in, but we're a bit pissed off that a bunch of people we like to regard as friends try take all the credit despite dodging the whole thing for over two of the five years the war was on.
It's a bit like inviting your mates over for a weekend decorating party. The Commonwealth guys, the Mediterraneans, the Africans, the Russians and the European guys turn up on Friday night and get stuck in, the Americans turn up on Saturday afternoon with a hangover and finally start helping, then eventually we all go over and help decorate the Americans' place too. By Monday morning they're telling everybody that it was them that did all the work in both places and it wouldn't have happened without them. Then they insist you repay them for the can of paint that they bought you when they know you're stony broke. That would be insulting wouldn't it?
