Why not ask the deceased Mr. Churchill about the Mediterranean in 1943, for example the island of Kos.

I'll state it out: the British and Commonwealth forces were essential to Allied victory in WWII. The point I was making, however, was that this wasn't just happening in Normandy. It was also happening a half a world away at the same time--and the other one was an American show. --RC Rob–

Point taken. I'll state it out: the British and Commonwealth forces were essential to Allied victory in WWII.

The point I was making, however, was that this wasn't just happening in Normandy. It was also happening a half a world away at the same time–and the other one was an American show.

How could you overlook the fact that two-thirds of the Normandy landings consisted of British and Canadians? Not to mention that the staging post for the invasion was Britain itself, and that we had held out alone in the west against the Axis powers since 1940. No staging grounds - no invasion. Shame on you. R Rob – you sound like a Hollywood movie. How could you overlook the fact that two-thirds of the Normandy landings consisted of British and Canadians?

Despite certain unsavory aspects of his personality, there was nothing wrong with MacArthur's operational skills. Thanks, Paul. Let me just say: Inchon was an amazing op!

I know it focuses on 1944, but MacArthur's Inchon operation in Korea six years later must rank up there as one of the most daring and successful amphibious landings of all time. Despite his later falling out with Truman, there is no doubt MacArthur's brilliant stroke saved the U.N. forces from almost certain defeat in that conflict. As a Canadian, I am glad that you mention the disastrous Dieppe raid of '42. It is remembered as one of our country's most painful wartime episodes. Many believe, however, that the catastrophe made D-Day's success possible by teaching how (or how NOT) to launch an invasion of the coast of France. WWII buffs might want to check out my new novel, THE FUHRER VIRUS. It is a fictional spy/conspiracy/thriller for adult readers and can be found at www.eloquentbooks.com/TheFuhrerVirus.html, www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, and www.booksamillion.com. Thanks!
