Also shifty let me ask you this; How many members of the French resistance died while America sat on its arse in isolation until they invaded in 1944?

Whoever made that France surrenders site can go fuck themselves.

It was the French who helped to guide the Airborne's and Pathfinder's planes to their drop zones. Also many pilots who were shot down were helped by the resistance.

well to that french resistance question not enough. let me ask u this how many american soldiers died in france? more then the french resistance did. and plus France now just doesnt care how much we helpped it. if it wernt for us France would be speaking german. so who ever made that french surrenders site can give himself a cookie cus he is doin the right thing (and its funny)

I think you'll find it was Australian Pilots involved in D-Day, rather than ground troops. Us Kiwi's had pilots out there too...

I think it's far too broad of a statement to say that France does not appreciate what the United States contributed to the D-Day invasion and consequently the liberation of France. Sure it may seem like it, but I believe France is a proud nation who cannot stand to see the United States or any other nation take giant leaps ahead of them in terms of power.

A salute to all men of all nations who bravely contributed to the success of the invasion.

*Salute*

I'd stop complaining, because you're lucky the US even intervened in WWII. It wasn't their war, nor their damn problem. So don't complain about them joining late, pal.

They didnt fight out of fear they fought due to their fanatical support. However still the Germans were geniuses at war.

Much love to those men and women on all sides who died so we can see another day.

PS. If it weren't for France, USA would still be part of the UK.
