Thats cool and all, but IMO our country is wayyyy too proud of D-Day. It was a brilliant operation, but it seems like it has gotten twisted by our "propaganda", if you will, to be the deciding battle of WWII, it was simply not. The germans were screwed way before that. The deciding battle was stalingrad. Starting the second front was only to help the russians continue to drive the germans back. But we certainly couldnt give credit to communists for winning the war! It was all about D-Day to us. Overrated to say the least. Still an interesting subject for movies and such.
