It doesn't matter who won WWII, all it matters is that the good guys did.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy France during WWII. As you might have read, the Queen of England was not invited to a anniversary event in France and that opened up a whole can of worms about the very biased question as to what country won the war. I have my opinions as to who won the war and for the most part, I feel it was the combined efforts of the US, British, and French forces during Campaign Overlord, or the D-Day invasion and ensuing months. But to be fair it would be really hard to ignore the efforts of the Russians, but that was more of a grudge match that would have happened regardless of what else was planned. If it had not been for the need of the German OKW to divert more forces from the East to the West, because of the D-Day invastion, it might have been likely that Russia would not have prevailed as they did.

Any way, I am linking a small blog comment that has some humour related to the recent gaff by the Frenchies. It is here

And finally, my thanks to all those people that were involved in the monumental effort on June 6th, 1944.

Later!
