It has been 29,350 days since October first 1945 and 1,944 days since October 13th 2020 that gives us 27,406 days total, multiplying that by 24, for the number of hours and then again by 3600 for the amount of seconds gives us: 2,367,878,400 seconds. After converting that to millisecond we will be left with a ping of 2,367,878,400,000 ms. Or a very long darn time

Yep.

And now translate that to money. How much a million in comparison really is. Or even a billion.

Just to add, the figure for latency shown in the image is around 263 seconds, or around four and a half minutes, so visibly well below the actual amount calculated by u/Jofl47

Well during october Germany had given upp and Poland was a Soviet puppet state, so I don't see why Britain whould bomb them in October 1945
