And much of the German force was diverted to a decoy location where a fake Patton-led invasion force was presumed to attack.
Franco is short for Francophile. Next time we can go through Italy and Austria, allies of the swine Nazis. More French than Americans were killed in the Battle of France 1944... Anyway I blame the GOP for everything that happened LOL. Ruined the treaty of Versailles and the league of Nations, then destroyed the world economy in 1929 to 31 and led to the rise of nationalism just like the last decade, were behind the isolationism that let the Nazis and Japanese militarists run wild until they finally attacked us.You have the attention span of a pygmy shrew.... And their hearts beat 3600 times a minute LOLThey just don't like the orange con man liar scumbag clown, like all intelligent educated well-informed people...They didn't like us too much in WW2, either.
One thing I've noticed about Germans: They're too smart for their own good.
Oh yeah, and probably less than 50% of the people in Germany are actually German. They imported so many Muslims it's not funny, I was hearing about this 20 years ago.
Oh I understand that they didn't like us as we were helping them rebuild. But then we had a long period where we pretended to be allies. On their side, that's all over. America just needs to catch up.
What does Orange Man Bad have to do with D-Day, dumbass?
When I learned about D-Day, there was no Orange Man president. Gas was 78 cents a gallon.
"Franco" means French.
That's why we invaded their country to take it back for them.
I don't think so- they'd always have the Navy and the channel. Anyway the USSR and America were going to be drawn in one way or another. As a Francophile I wish they had attacked Germany in1939 when the Germans were busy in Poland. And there is a new report that the Russians wanted to be an ally at last moments at the same time. If if if. The French were totally snake bit, the English lucky every time once they were all home....The Battle of Stalingrad was the largest and bloodiest battle of the war involving over 2.2 million combatants and 1.1 million military and civilian causalities. It was about 2 years before D-Day and it was the turning point on the Eastern Front as well as WWII. There's a subtitled movie, Stalingrad on Youtube that looks pretty good.Stalin had been asking US and UK "allies" to open a second front in the west since 1939, yet D-Day didn't happen until after the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad.
Henry Ford was happy to accept a Nazi medal.
Hitler had a portrait of Ford hanging above his desk,
Ford, IBM, and GM helped rebuild Germany's military during the 1930s in ways they were unwilling to do in the US.
D-Day: How the US Supported Hitler's Rise to Power
"And then during the war their subsidiaries in Europe continued to produce, continued to make profits, which they were able to accrue after the war ended.
"In fact, GM and Ford were able to sue the U.S. government for millions of dollars for reparations for their plants that the U.S. bombed and destroyed in Europe during the war that were producing for the Nazis.
"So American business had a shameful record."
American capitalists like Ford and Prescott Bush were happy to help Hitler rearm and fatten their fortunes in the process, and they were also part of the "greatest generation."
Had the non-aggression pack between Russia and Germany held, there would have been no D-Day because England would have fallen with the rest of Europe. Had there been no eastern front, Hitler would have been unstoppable.
The Spanish Civil War was another opportunity to strangle fascism in its cradle; however, the US population felt they had been lied into WWI, hence they were in no mood for another European fight in 1936.
You should see The Big Red One. It’s Sam Fuller’s autobiographical dramatization of his WWII experience.
And as the soviets expected, JFK appeased and removed missiles in Turkey to diffuse the situation.It was US missiles in Italy and Turkey that prompted a Soviet response in Cuba:
The Real Cuban Missile Crisis
JFK did just as his father did and just as the soviets expected.
JFK and his Russian counterpart Nikita Khrushcev saved thousands of lives on both sides by agreeing to a mutual withdrawal of offensive weapons from the US and Russian borders. What other option did each leader have?
The isolationists were GOP mainly. America first ring a bell? Great time for some trade Wars and tariffs, right? Like 1930? Does Father coughlin remind you of Sean hannity? LOL aaarrrggghhh hhhh....I don't think so- they'd always have the Navy and the channel. Anyway the USSR and America were going to be drawn in one way or another.

"One of the key episodes in the rise of fascism, the spread of fascism, was the Spanish Civil War. And the U.S. maintained a dumb neutrality in the Spanish Civil War.
"And again, this was a product of this strong hatred of World War I and the deep anti-war sentiment, which normally would be a positive sentiment.
"We wish we had more of that in the United States today.
"But in the 1930s this was a chance to stop Hitler, and the U.S. maintained its neutrality throughout the Spanish Civil War.

"America First" in those days had an economic component that made European reconstruction and solidarity virtually impossible:
I have seen them all multiple times lol. I'm just watching Dunkirk on TCM the old one with John Mills... So far don't think I've seen it before. GMainlyir itishetreating and the battle of France, my major. I also love playing war games and portraying the French. If they used modern tactics they can win. But they were World War 1 all the way. They had better tanks than Germans in 1940. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
All because Hitler murdered his own people who were Jews. He paved the way for a much worse war many years later, and the Axis powers won nothing. Sad outcome for smart people. Not all of them loved Hitler. That's why one of the guys who spoke in one of Oddball's posts above was spared by another soldier who didn't shoot his rifle. Wars can be horrific. That man who spared an American troop had probably seen enough of Hitler's doings to hate him. Maybe his fiancé before she was murdered was Jewish, or his best friend, or his brother.
They didn't like us too much in WW2, either.

They just don't like the orange con man liar scumbag clown, like all intelligent educated well-informed people... It's great the way you brainwashed fools only care about your stupid party and your Heroes the greedy idiot rich. Like the Japanese, they learned their lesson in World War II.
