>>>scratchin my head, here. D-Day vs. 1941 ?

D-day was in 1944. Churchill proposed an invasion of Italy in 1941, and did not find it necessary to wait until 1944, when America and Britain launched their D-day invasion.

That doesn’t make sense nor does it clear the confusion.
I don’t understand how the word “Instead” can be used in this context. D-Day wasn’t even a thought ‘41.

The USA wasn’t prepared for war nor did it declare war against Germany until Dec 11 1941.

The Brits just got their ass kicked at Dunkirk and were getting their butts bombed non-stop and Churchill was ready to invade via Italy in ‘41? without the US ?

Too much missing.

I suppose I should try and view the documentary.

Thanks
