![]() "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... No, it _might_ not have happened. We will never know, won't we. If you think the French would have been able to drive the Germans out of France w/o the U.S. you have a very odd understanding of history. The US would never have been able to drive the Germans out of France without French help. *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |

No, what I think is that you need to take remedial reading lessons. Do you know the meaning of the word "allies"? *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |

No Then why did you claim that it might have happened without US help? Because you can't prove otherwise. I can, however, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, from historical documentation, that without the help of the French and particularly the help of the French resistance, not only would the US not been able to get the Germans out of France, D-Day would have been a disastrous massacre of biblical proportions. That is why they were called ALLIES, and not "saviours". Of course, you could also extend your argument to show that were it not for the millions of russians, french, british, poles, czechs, danes, aussies and other assorted nationalities, everyone from San Diego to Rhode Island would be speaking German today, or perhaps Japanese.... Do you know the meaning of the word "allies"? Do _you_ know the difference between "necessary" and "useful"? Sure, this is an example that portion of revisionist history that appears to be "necessary" to demonstrate how arrogantly ignorant some people can be. This is "useful" precisely because it helps demonstrate the absurdity of arrogant revisionist arguments such as the one that the only way for France to be rid of the invading Germans was for the US to kick them out, and without any help from the French at that. If you need that in Spanish, let me know. g BTW, is this almighty military of yours STILL looking for that one, single, solitary six foot arab permanently tied to a dialysis machine? And does that moron in the White House still claim "mission accomplished"? *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |

Very simple. Dwight D. Eisenhower said so in unequivocal terms, when among
other things he stated that the French Resistance was the equivalent of ten divisions of regular Army troops. Without the French resistance, virtually all of the preparatory work prior to D-Day would have been impossible, and the morale of the German troops would have been much, much higher. "Robert M.
