Battle Rages Along Nazi Wall 1944/09/28

1) "Seizure of Eindhoven - An air train, over 285 miles in length, and containing over 2,000 planes and gliders, takes off from England for Holland. Near Eindhoven, thousands of chutists 'hit the silk,' floating down to join the glider troops. The air army is made up of American, British and Polish troops. 24 hours after the airborne army lands, armored units of the British 2nd Army pound their way into Eindhoven, joining forces with the skymen. The Dutch go wild at their liberation."
2) Allies Drive To Southern Gate Of Reich - "Allies Enter Germany - Roetgen, Germany, near the Eupen forest, is cool to the entry of the Yanks. Occasional families show forced smiles, and the children are trusting of the invaders. French forts in the Maginot Line, fortified with 105 mm. Krupp guns, are turned around by the Yanks. Then Nazi shells are lobbed over the Moselle River into the ranks of the Nazis. At Vittel, France, 2,000 British and Americans are abandoned by the Nazis in a huge internment camp." "From Lyons to Orleans - At Lyons, the Nazis take refuge in a huge hospital. The F.F.I. blasts them until the building is set on fire. "The Yanks march into Bourg where the women hang out "Thanks You" signs, then try to kiss every Yank in sight - and almost succeed. At Orleans, 20,000 Nazis march up to a gun pile, in formation, and throw down their arms. Then they enter a large prisoner compound." Newsreel The End Buy Bonds. (partial newsreel)

the americans pushed the germans back as well u fucking idiot. so did the brits and so did the russians. the americans, brits, and russians did it together. the russians would have been destroyed if it weren't for the americans.

Why is it a problem having them here?

They don't bother me..

[Docktory]

People are so afraid to give Americans great credit for WWII And I'm sick of it, Why do you think that on the day of Frances liberation the french were waving mostly American flags? And singing American national anthem? And it was an American General Commanding American AND British forces! Before you try and write back to argue don't bother, take a collage class on history and investigate with soldiers from that war then lets talk. The area that Russia attacked was tiny compared to ally's!

Kinda of you to say

[peterbishop1968]

This marked the American invasion and take over of Europe. They are still here 60 years later with over 50,000 troops in Europe. Hopefully with the impending economic collapse the Yanks will finally go home.

is this market garden?

[somethingboring]

Yes, it's a great tragedy what happened to your country and people, especially the Polish veterans, who bravely fought a war forced upon them.

The war could be different if not the nazi-soviet alliance against Poland and especially... the French cowaredience. So called Free French forces were not the same as our, but well... De Gaulle becomed French president, Sikorki was killed by Brits, soviets get thier zone in Europe and everybody was happy... "Europe" was "liberated".

"GOD BLESS BRITIAN FRANCE AND THE US"

And soviet union?
