D-DAY
as you know on june 6, 1944 american and allied forces landed on french soil to oust the bastard, ignorant, murdering germans from europe. german tribes haven't learned much since their ancestors invaded civilization in about the 1st to 4th century rome. the USA suffered over 2500 fatalities on d-day.
there is a myth still alive today among the ignorant that the germans were trying to save us from communism when clearly their invasion was a power grab. they indiscriminately bombed london and other cities killing civilians and destroying as much as possible. winston churchill had some ideas for germany after the war. he wanted to turn germany into one big agrarian space. 50-60 million people (over 2%) of the world's population were murdered by them.
who holds a grudge?
during a guided tour of normandy the french guide took the group to both the american and german cemeteries. to him it seemed irrelevant as to who was the occupying force. seeing the german grave sites relieved some of my anger and hostility.
