Gotta love a fat boy Limey using that term- but I think he was talking about Greece and the Balkans- Anyway- Machts Nicht-- American GI's paid a heavy price at Omaha, while the Limeys and Canadians had a tad easier "show" at Gold, Sword and Juno
Foxy, there is little point making snide references during a time for remembering and honouring.
The facts are that as a % of population significantly more Canadian and Australians died than Americans, while the UK lost close to triple the % of men. "Had a tad easier show"? I don't think so. It was hell for all.
Arm chair quarterbacks, with the benefit of hindsight can make negative insinuations about most of the Allied Command, Americans included. But what's the point? Let's honour them all.
