I posted this last year, not just because I thought it was important to commemorate VE Day at this difficult time, but also because I had to show our Contribution to it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what went wrong at the "Band of Brothers" Research Office, or even certain YouTubers online talking about the Great Patriotic War, but the one thing all of this wasn't was a U2 Record.
Maybe the People who researched "Band of Brothers" read different History Books to those of the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThe ones we read told us that the proto SAS fighting in North Africa, Tito's Partisans and the People who captured and secured the Pegasus Bridge in Normandy were on our Side.
