Americans didn't roll through the streets of the UK because UK was never occupied by Germans. In France US rolled through the Streets together with many other nationalities... like canadians, poland, british, etc...

Every WWII movie shows the Omaha beach invasion like the greatest battle ever which fully destroyed Nazis. This is a standard picture from the US movies. In fact only 3,000 allied and 1,200 Germans were killed in that "epic battle". Great success, yeah  |
Sad but correct.... If there is one major reason why people could think the things in that article... holywood is the main reason... rince and repeat...

There is not ONE single country in Europe that was single handedly liberated by US. It were Allied forces... Yes... including the Russians. The reason you don't hear much about it is because after the war the Russians needed to be criminilazed (not without reason tho) in the heads of the European people... They went from liberators to the new big enemy.
World politics is a dirty game... they can all go fuckthemselfs... no one deserves my vote... fucking cockroaches...
