The Greatest Generation
by Tom Brokaw
Tom's Fairy Tale (6/18/2009)
Not enough credit given to allies, especially the USSR. Two weeks after D-Day, Soviets launched Operation Bagration, destroying three Nazi armies; if they had been in France we would have been destroyed in the Normandy hedgerows.

Check Stalingrad. Check Kursk, biggest tank battle in history, it was the remnants of those battered Panzers which gave us trouble at the Battle of the Bulge.

4 out 5 Nazis were killed on the Eastern Front.

Say again, who won the war in Europe?
