The exchange rate at the time was $4.04 to £1. Factoring in inflation, at Govt-reported rates - the kid was carrying the equivalent of $259,104.67 into battle!

A beautiful show of remembrance. US POTUS put a lid on the day. How disrespectful of our Greatest Generation and our history. American TV shows nothing.

If Germany did not attack Russia they could have had millions more men and weapons to stop the allied invasions at Normandy and in Africa and Italy. It would have taken the use of the A bomb to defeat Germany.
