New York Times - June 5th, 1944
“ALLIES TO LAND AT NORMANDY TOMORROW!”
Pretty good video but they miscast the newsreader. She’s not up to the task and the way they film her does not look realistic.
“Unnamed sources” declare US efforts a complete failure. No safe space created for the German immigrants. US creates disastrous environmental impact to the sensitive French coast. And (of course)…women and minorities intentionally excluded.
“They did not invade those countries alphabetically!”
-N. Pelosi (D-CA)

how about this cluster flop
Environmental impact of the invasion on the delicate ecosystem of Normandy is under investigation by the EPA.
Never would happen with a Democrat as President.
We would have never made it to the beach.
