This isn’t a war memorial. It’s a D-day memorial. Stalin had less to do with the success of D-day than e.g. de Gaulle.

I’m glad Stalin’s bust is there though. Because someone can take a hammer to it and so speak for the millions who suffered because of him.

Send Stalin’s bust to the White House. A fitting replacement for Churchill’s bust, which Obama immediately returned to the UK as soon as he took office.

If it’s a D-Day memorial, then why isn’t Candaian Prime Minister Mackenzie King represented? Weren’t Canadian paratroopers involved in the D-Day landing?

And why is there a bust of Truman? He wasn’t even Vice President yet in 1944!
Perhaps most curious, why is there no bust of General Eisenhower?
