It is kinda sad this year with the death of President Reagan. I would think it's pretty sad every year...considering the huge loss of life...not really a happy day. Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: crypt on June 07, 2004, 04:29:31 am Well, death is always horrible, but it changed the Tides of WWII.

Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on June 07, 2004, 07:25:53 am Watched the proceedings from France live at about 2am...got a very erry feeling listening to Chirac and Bush tell stories of events that happened 60 years ago. Rather than happy, I feel a better word to use is Commemorate.
On a side note, I hope that Chirac and Bush weren't throwing up a facade and that they are truely committed to smoothing over their differences, thus patching up our oldest alliance.

Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: KGB on June 07, 2004, 07:46:47 pm Did I offend anyone with this thread ?
I certainly did not meant to disrespect. I did add the Quote Time to remember that 60 years ago brave men gave their life's to free us all. The downfall of Nazi Germany rejoices me every day .Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: seth on June 07, 2004, 07:55:11 pm And finally germans were invited....well...one..but its a start. they were 10 years ago, but german chancelor Kohl declined frenc President Mitterand's invitation. Anyway, it was a day to pay respect to all the soldiers who died fighting against Hitler's madness. Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: Cossack on June 08, 2004, 12:32:46 am I would not say that it turned the tide of WWII (credits to El Alamein and Stalingrad for that job), but it did open the Western front, thus giving the West influence over economically powerful Western Europe during the Cold War.
I hope I'm not making a debate. Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: BFG on June 08, 2004, 02:16:53 am Quote I would not say that it turned the tide of WWII Id defiantly have to debate that ;) it forced hitler to spread his power to protect a new front, i personally think that the invasion at Normandy did trigger the turn, as it considerably weakened the german concentration of force Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: crypt on June 08, 2004, 03:23:05 am Well, if D-Day didn't turn the Tides, what did?
Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: alaric on June 08, 2004, 03:32:36 am Well, if D-Day didn't turn the Tides, what did? The American entry into the war. Period. ;) Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: Cossack in Kabul on June 08, 2004, 03:36:36 am I start new thread for this. This thread is supposed to be a tribute to the fallen and I do not want to mess with it.
Title: Re:Happy D day every one. Post by: crypt on June 08, 2004, 03:37:24 am Well, I was looking at a more specific battle, such as the invasion, that crippled the Germans. Any ideas?
