As a teacher I was shocked when my students mocked D-Day—saying all the men who hit the beaches deserved to die. They were fools to throw their lives away. The whole attack was worthless. In a year we would have had the A-Bomb and could have blown up Berlin, killing Hitler and all—ending the war with one blow. No need to “Liberate Europe”. All those young Americans were just killed for nothing. Hindsight is 20-20.
Did they ever stop to consider how many more people would have died in concentration camps over the year that we were waiting on the bomb?
