[QUOTE="Swart, post: 9097798, member: 29945"] Especially since the American's had only two beaches, whilst the Birtish had 2.5 (Canada having the other 0.5). It's interesting that Monty commented during the invasion "I wish we had that Australian 9th division today." Actually, your perspective of the war depends upon where your coming from. From the US perspective, WWII was fought in the Pacific Islands and to a lesser extent in Franec and Germany. For Britain it was mainly a series of Naval & Aerial battles and commando raids. For Australia it was fought in Africa and in New Guinea, Malaysia, Burma and Borneo. However, I think WWII was won and lost in Russia. The battles on the German Eastern front were the bloodiest and the most decisive. They make anything on the western front and in the pacific pale in comparison. Particularly the battle for Stalingrad. [/QUOTE]
