Nope, not kidding. Check out most British books or shows on WW2. The only battle they remember was Dunkirk, and the brits claim they won that one.

It's just like Normandy. Normandy was not the turning point of the war not even nearly the main battle. 8 out of 10 Third Reich soldier KIAs (of all nationalities) died on the Eastern Front. By the time Normandy happened, the Soviets were sitting on and across the Vistul and the 6th Army was being exterminated for the second time, this time in Romania.
