Old news. It is all there on Netflix.Been there,done that.

Fake news. D-Day had nothing to do with ending World War II. The moment the US landed in Normandy the war was practically over and the Russians knocking on Berlin doors. Thats why “Juggernaut” Patton could cake walk to Germany.

That's just COOL!!! Terrifying. But COOL!!! Then watch 'They Shall Not Grow Old ReaPeterJackson You will find a new RESPECT for those in WWI.

D-Day yet another example of America being Great. Trump2020

dead again

Just reading 'French-developed technology...' Oh man I can't stop laughing.
