It's not a mockery. It was actually written by the guys fighting in Italy. It was their sarcastic reply to the Viscountess Astor who was heard to call the troops fighting in Italy as having it easy when in fact the fighting was extremely hard.

That's exactly being clueless about what was currently happening on the field of their soldiers and, for the current thinkers of it, history. Considering the fight in Italy was hellish due to its territory (the toughest ever, akin to asiatic theatres) and its secondary nature as a front.

My mothers father, who passed in 2014, my Opa, was from Holland. Was taken from the Krauts during the occupation of Holland. He was quite young, but kept him alive as he was a farmer. He grew food for the German troops. He wasn't treated the best, but treated him well enough to live. While on a train, a man had taken his window seat. He tried to get his seat back, but he just ended up sitting next to the man. Then a gunshot was heard. My Opa told the man next to him, "Wake up, they are shooting at us!" Only to find a bullet in the man's head. If he had been in that seat. I wouldn't be here today. He lived a long, happy life, even though he was blind. Came to my home, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the SS Watermanns. Came into Pier 21. I forget the date he came though.

My uncle landed on D day. He fought in France. After one his units officers was shot, a british officer was rotated in. This Brit wanted the Canadians to parade in the middle of an active battle zone. The guy's in my uncles unit told the Brit to f**k off. The Brit officer pulls his pistol and threatens to shoot anyone who does not follow his orders. My uncle then said a couple of these guys from Saskatchewan pointed thier weapons at the Brit and the Brit backed down. I suspect the Brits and Canadians never saw eye to eye.

went to Sicily this summer and made a stop in the Agira cemetary. The only one with only candian in it. 490 soldier. Stop at every tomb to read the name and regiment. To see the hilly inlands of the Island is impressive. To imagine that our men won against the German is amazing. The German were situated in the villages on mountain tops. Had a clear view of the coming army and the better guns. Really it was a David against Goliath kind of situation. Thank you to all CDN soldiers, less we forget

As a brief and former Hasty-Pee who had the honour to stand in the shadow of giants and meet some Dodgers (as they drank me under the mess table)...there are no words for what they did. None. My cousin, Lt Frederick Culliton Perth Regt, remains in sunny Italy. He was 28 and sacrificed an excellent life, a wonderful family, and sacrificed it all. For us all. My sons and I (we ALL look the same) - honour his memory every Nov 11. I have had the privlidge of standing sentry at the cenotaph as have my sons. The discomfort is an honour. In the morning, and at the going down of the sun, we do our best to remember him and all of them. We are enjoying what we have because of their sacrifices. This is a lesson that needs to be instilled in all. Lest we forget.

I dont actually think america was in the war at this time. We only joined in the last year. As far as we were concerned it was a European war. That was back when we were more conservative about foreign conflicts, but the cold war and war on terror ended that conservative mentality. As president Roosevelt would say "Speak softly and carry a stick." (tho at the time we didnt rly have that impressive of a military, only a decent navy) The only way we would have joined was if Nazi troops actually set foot in Britain, and even then we'd prolly be reluctant. Hell, even after the numerous bomb raids on Britain, all we did was send financial aid. Thats why they mention the "yanks" at the beginning of the song, they thought it was absurd that they were being called "D-Day Dodgers" when the US wasn't even joining the war at all. (which it was. it was incredibly absurd) Even during the time we were at war, most of our focus was in the pacific.

My grandfather wrote a book called D-Day Dodger, Memoirs of a Foot Soilder. He has eye witness accounts. And many historical battle reports confirm that a Canadian on foot is more lethal than an American in a tank. So just deal with it that a few plucky Canadians are better at war than Amercians.

My late father was a D Day Dodger. He fought in Tunisia, Pantelleria, Sicilly (I think), Anzio and Bologna. He was in the British Army (Royal Engineers) and i think that its worth pointing out that, in what has become a very much neglected campaign, there were troops from many countries fighting. The great tragedy was that Mark Clark threw away the opportunity to cut off the German Army's retreat following the Anzio break out so he could be photographed "liberating" Rome.

You are correct sir! It all started when back in England by British Member of Parliament Nancy Astor. used the term in public. She implied that the Allied troops fighting in Italy were having a good old time. Like being on vacation so too speak. As we know it was the exact opposite. The Allies experienced some of the hardest fighting ever seen. When they heard about her comments they took exception to it. This song is evidence of that. Enjoy!

“If I were married to you, I’d put poison in your coffee,” Lady Astor once famously remarked to Winston Churchill. “If I were married to you,” he replied, “I’d drink it.” This may be wrongly attributed to Churchill (some say his friend Fredrick Erwin Smith may have said it.. or related it as a story about Churchill.) ... that tells you Churchill's opinion of the Lady Astor.

My Uncle Sgt. Fred Ward, my mother's brother was a D-Day Dodger. He served with Lord Strathcona Horse as a Tank Commander. He lost three tanks in Italy and saved another Canadian Tank Crew whose tank was on fire. The Germans were firing a machine gun at the crew trying to escape. Fred pulled his tank in front of theirs so they could make their escape. He then fired on the German Machine Gun Position and took them out. He would never speak of the War unless he had too much to drink and then he'd start to cry. I never asked him to tell me any more. He always felt guilty, that after seeing so many of his friends die, he never got a scratch. He talked of reconnaissance in a Bren Carrier and of seeing a large German Convoy of Tanks and Artillery being led by a Motorcycle and his Canadian gunner opening up with a Bren Gun on the Motorcycle and the Motorcycle and driver flying apart in pieces. He said they had to go like hell as the German's called in an Artillery Barrage. Another time they went into the basement of a Winery and there was a huge cask of wine with a sprgot, after a couple of glasses of wine the sprigot would not work, so they climbed a ladder to have a look, and only then noticed a dead German was lodged against the sprigot. They drank no more wine.

I believe that Radio Belgrade (a German controlled station) used to sign on/off with Lille Marlene a popular song of the time. This broadcast could be picked up all over the Adriatic & Mediterranean theatres and was listened to by all sides. Lille Marlene became very popular with the Allied Eighth Army (who fought in the Western Desert, Italy, and funnily enough at D-Day too) and over time the tune was put to other words.

Lady Nancy Astor is said to have made some very controversial comments regarding the Normandy campaign. Specifically calling the soldiers D day dodgers, suggesting that they went to Italy to avoid the "real" fight in Europe
