D- Day anniversary: The weather report that changed the outcome of history

[@Dan-ze4qz]

Rip to all the heros, thanks to all the soldiers, both of my great grandfather's were sergeant majors and one was a prisoner in the war. What they would want is all foreigners to leave the country they fought and died for, they'd want all politicians in prison, they'd want university's completely changed, and England to go back to being tough, right wing and great again

[@joancooley1387]

👏 Spot On.

Good man for saying it as it is.

[@truckerfromreno]

England for the English.

[@stephenlamley541]

Never fails to amaze me, the amount of little stories thst played a part in the allies eventually winning the war. Winning is a terrible word. Nobody won anything.

[@wanderingwilliam5031]

Exactly, we lost our country and the end result is what the west has become now.

Weather often sabotages history. We got lucky on D-Day. Sometimes though others don't. History is full of incredible events, like this.

Size of the army the Anglo's faced on the western front in 1944 compared to the size of the army the Russian's defeated on the eastern fronts, not in the same ball park.

[@T5Zplayer]

Russia shouldn't have invaded Poland, then should it.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Most of the Luftwaffe and all of the Kriegsmarine were faced by the western allies, as well as 1/3 of the panzers. Most German Army divisions in the East were second rate poorly equipped non mechanised horse drawn rabble. 5 of the 7 Waffen SS Panzer divisions were in Normandy. Normandy saw the densest concentration of German armour ever deployed in WW2. More German tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers per mile than anywhere else, particularly around Caen.

[@Paws4Thought669]

Totally different class of generation. Now they would build a Burberry harbour

Speaking of the weather, what’s happened to the -Clown- Climate Show? it was comedy gold. I miss it.

Whenever u hear anyone talk about the queen , Every one’s mind automatically pictures Elizabeth Who just passed away The gravitas of the name queen definitely does not fit Camilla in the least Sorry But I feel the whole country and world feels this way The queen has gone So Wind royal family down now

Oddly the country that broke the Wehrmacht not invited to the commemoration of America's hasty rush to secure it's European made loans business.

[@T5Zplayer]

Apologist nonsense

[@lyndoncmp5751]

The Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine were broken in the west, and 2/3 of Germany's wartime expenditure and material resources went on the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine.

ireland was neutral in the war - they were n't an ally

[@highheeledfagin]

History really let Ireland get away with that one 🤷🏽‍♀️🖤💜

[@7nire]

You'd want to check up on that, it's incorrect, officially neutral but lots of assistance provided, read the para headed "The Cranborne Report ": en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II

[@7nire]

Officially neutral but it provided far more assistance than a neutral country should have, read the Cranborne Report paragraph: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II
