Disbelief, I think you are misinterpreting my words. I said ALL
veterans. Most f Holland (where I grew up) was liberated by Brits and
Canadiens. My high school was on the General Foulkes Road, the Canadian
general who accepted the surrender of the Germans in Holland in the town
where I grew up, Wageningen. That is about 8 miles from Arnhem, where
many Poles, Brits, Canadians and others died in Operation Market Garden
(the movie A Bridge Too Far). I could go on ...


You're wasting your time, Han ... that's not what he's up to.

Trolls can try to revise history, but they can't change the facts for
the following WW II Allied military dead (estimated, as in all war
casualties) who are remembered on this day:

British Empire and Commonwealth 452.000
France 250.000
USA 295.000
Soviet Union 13.600.000
Belgium 10.000
Holland 10.000
Norway 10.000
Poland 120.000
Greece 20.000
Yugoslavia 300.000
Checoslovaquia 20.000
China 3.500.000
