Mini documentary from 1944 as the Allied forces invaded Normandy and forced Nazi German troops to withdraw during World War 2. The Normandy Invasion still remains as the largest seaborne invasion in history. Some three million troops took part in it, attacking the German troops with parachute and glider landings and air and naval bombardment.
The battle of Normandy continued for two months, ending in August 1944.

@desiguy3, In the 1800's Britain was dfeated in Afghanistan. Churchill made some bad mistakes in his military decisions in both WWI & WWII, Gallipoli, and operations in Italy & the Med. Sea area.

Oops! My mistake - he was Scottish. I met Lady Dowding at her home near Tunbridge Wells. She was the patron of a magazine I used to design, called beauty Without Cruelty.

Your experience sounds shitty! Mine is fairly opposite, I've never felt an inferior/superior relationship, they're the most self-deprecating bunch, maybe more so if it comes from someone else in jest, but maybe not so if they feel its from someone who is acting superior, a threat? I can see that.
Signals get mixed between cultures though. People take Americans for rude and arrogant (superior?) when they're being neither, but may be just louder, more direct. Whatever, ppl are ppl everywhere, ha!
