  1. think you’ll find it was the allied situation, lots of Brits and Canadians were there too

  2. If you go to the Library of Congress website you can get every daily situation map from D-Day to surrender, pretty cool stuff.

  3. actually, the canadians tried taking omaha first in 1942, and failed, went home and told the usa dont go there, but usa did anyway

    then usa goes there, gets f,,king pwned, and wonders what went wrong, while canada sits back and calls the USa a bunch of f,,king dumb yanks for not taking their advice

  4. could be or he could be refering the Canadian raid on a town .. began with D.. anyway it failed miserably.

    interesting side note virtually all the planes, ships, sailors involved in D-day were british/commonwealth and over 60% of the ground forces were British/canadian. Which isnt too surprising as the British took as many beaches as the US and the Canadians took one too.

  5. “The British Army should be a projectile to be fired by the Navy.” Sir Edward Grey

    @ seakitten for the record:

    If the Brits had done their job, and not lost their chutzpah during the first half of the century, WWII would never have been fought, and America would not be all over the world picking up the mess left by the collapse of the British Commonwealth and Empire – leading to a world littered with people who are not yet socially developed enough to govern their own affairs.
