Such obnoxious disregard for the British contributions on D-Day.
And so on the gray morning of June 6, 1944 word passed from person to person, through the radio messages, neighbor to neighbor, town to town: a flash flood of news: “The Americans! The Americans!”
I got to here, then it got to blurry to read.
WW2 Allied Casualties:
US: 407,300 out of pop. of 131,028,000
UK: 383,700 out of pop. of 47,760,000
Thanks for the post. I was in Infantry replacement training at this date. I was lucky I was not 6 months older or I likely would have been there. 5 months later I landed in Marseille part of a Regimental Combat Team. We were first in Patton’s 3rd Army than in Patch’s 7th. The last Nazi counter-attack to take Stassburg drove us back. We regrouped and by March we were on our way into Germany. I was in Munchen on April 30 when Hitler killed myself. Pardon me for writing this but I had to get it down while things were clear. I will be 91 this year so I hope you understand. Thanks Freepers.
