WW II in Westeren Europe began on D-day Before that it was just a load of
inefffective feints

Tou'll have to ask teh French, Belgians, Dutch, Danes, adn Norweigians
about that.

Don't forget the Italians.

Well, you _could_ make a case for the Italian invasion of France,
their slight participation in the Battle of Britain (What was it,
something like 3 or so raids), and their invasion of Greece being
ineffective, but they were hardly feints.

I was more thinking of how a veteran of Monte Cassino would react to
being told that it was "a feint".

Also, pretty much every Italian south of the Gothic Line was an
ex-fascist by D-Day, which isn't a bad achievement.
