Not to discredit the bravery of these great men but Hitler's military decisions losing the war had a large impact- much more than the D-day landing. Their tanks and planes were much better than anything the US & British had, he was dumb and stretched them thin with the North African campaign and pushing into Russia too early. Would be crazy if his generals assassinated him and made better military decisions. I lost my grandfather during that campaign (B24 navigator)- big salute to everyone involved in that war.

Coolest trip I’ve ever taken was visiting Normandy last year. So many sites and museums. We traveled with a WWII veteran. He landed in Normandy on the second week.

The war was lost for Germany way before June 6 1944. Come on.

The D-Day invasion not only saved Western Europe from the oppression of the Germans, but also saved Western Europe from Stalin and the Red Army. Your "technical turning point" of when the Germans may of lost WWII does not diminish the importance the invasion had on the war and post WWII Europe.

It takes absolutely NOTHING away from our brave troops and our efforts throughout that long way when I say that this is not really accurate. |
