Martin I have been waiting for this post for a long time, actually I was going to start something similar, but wasn't ready for it. My point of view is the one you can see at the Caen memorial: all the allied flags are honored in the same way. The Americans could not have won without the British and vice versa and the Canadians did an excellent job, so did the poles, the Resistance, Leclerc and everybody else. Sorry I did not mention all the nations who participated but I should have . Even Luxembourg send a modest participation. It is not who did most, as small and/or occupied countries could not have done the same as free countries, but what matters here is that the free world united and fought tyranny together. If someone says "we won it and we would have done it without you" than he's a fool, a revisionist, or probably both, unless he wants publicity for a book. As the Belgians say : Union makes strenght.
