Sorry, Complex_Type I don't quite follow you - hollywood history ?
I'm not saying there were no US sacrifices, in fact whilst we are checking facts I already pointed out the US action at Omaha and Utah beach - the allied code names for the beaches in Normandy where the infantry went ashore........, the Canadians and British went ashore and Gold, Juno and Sword beaches.

Your post, on the other hand, mentioned D-Day and Normandy in the context of USA only. "Point USA'. As one part of a European conflict that was 3 years old before the USA added its weight.

The re-written versions of WWII history (and history in general) by Hollywood is starting to become fact in the minds of some. The contribution of the USA to the allied victory in Europe WWII was huge but not total, and certainly no greater than the contribution of the Soviet Union.

Now, have you found me an Enigma machine yet?
