D-Day's 75th Anniversary

Post by Mecha82 »

Today 75 years ago (June 6th in 1944) Allied forces (US, UK, Canada and many others) assaulted Beaches of Normandy to start liberating German invaded nations and to start journey towards Berlin to end WWII and Hitler's Third Reich.

Liberated, ha! Sure, that's our spin on it.

I guess Yuka thinks that the likes of the Vichy government was the true French government along with the other puppet states. Otherwise they were liberated from German occupation which is what the OP said and Yuka is just being an ill-informed contrarian. Again.

I will never get why pro-Trump people seem to be so fanatical with they support to that clown-in-office unless they are bigots or just joking or trolling. I will never get that American idea that you need to be loyal to politicians and rich who don't give damn about regular American people.
