I would (dan)rather see the original version instead of the revisionist one.

Around three hundred French civilians were murdered yesterday and an undetermined number were injured during the first hours of the American invasion of continental Europe. They lose that many on a warm (compared to Texas heat) summer day. If man descended from Apes, the French came from Jellyfish. No backbone, delicate and unmotivated.

I thought something like 12,000 French civilians bit the dirt on the first day, and by the end of a week the death toll was up to over 100,000.
Remember, the Germans not only did not evacuate the French from the area, they didn't let them leave either.
There are some pretty big numbers involved in D-Day but no one ever mentions them.

Today, seventy years after the landing, this fictitious news report would be real, it would be in every newspaper and everyone would blindly believe it.

Not quite, if the US we allied with Joe Stalin and the old Soviet Union today as in 1944, the left in the US would sign on just as quickly. That is the fundamental difference between WWII and all other wars.

I think the Strategic Bombing Survey estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 French civilians perished during the so called Transportation Plan bombing in France from Feb 44 until D Day. This included those killed directly and those who perished due to shortages of food and medical supplies created by the destruction of the French Rail system.
The numbers killed during the fighting in Normandy around Caen and in the bocage country takes the toll much higher.Simply publicising those casualty numbers, even without the satirical prose, should make reasonable people view the destruction in Iraq in a more objective manner

CBS is probably gearing up to report this as factual now.

Germany did declare war on America.
The war aims were very clear.
There is a lot of a difference between then and now.
