Might one presume from both Roosevelt’s p6 disapproval of Churchill’s opinion of Spain that the Roosevelts are still unhappy about the outcome of the Spanish civil war?

Rome would be taken by the Allies 4 June 1944. This event would soon be overshadowed by the events of 6 June.

Hmm? Concerning that p7 article about the Biak tank battle, do the Japanese really have an operational tank that mounted a 75 mm gun at this stage of the war? I always thought the Sherman was to the Japanese through the entire war what the T-34/KV-1 was to the Germans in 1941, or the Tiger I was to the Anglo-Americans in late 1942.
