We also lead our coverage by telling you back here in america, President Biden made his most thorough remarks on this war to date, releasing the news that the u. S.

Then okay well mark it with orange colored smoke which tells us, okay, dont bomb on this side of the orange colored smoke because thats the u. S. Lines. So the crew men are briefed do not do that. None of them want to bomb their own troops. What do you think happens on july 25th. Heres murphys law. Which way do you think the wind is blowing. Towards the u. S. Lines. So orange smoke is coming back towards the american lines, theres confusion by at least one or two groups and thats all it takes, they will unload their bombs over the u. S.

Kcanadians coming from the othe direction. Eventually bradley will tell them to halt. This is a controversial decision at normandy because its thought that it allows germans to escape who otherwise might not have. Well, regardless of that, you do end up with an encirclement eventually by about august 18th, 1944. Tens of thousands of germans had escaped. Some tafrnks and vehicles had escaped. The two sides do join hands in a town called shamboa. Whats interesting is that its not a link up of americans and british, its americans and polish. The Company Commander is reconning ahead of his unit on that day and they are under heavy artillery fire. He is go to have orders to move forward and he in thes a guy in a funny looking uniform. He knows hes not a german but hes not sure who he is. It turns out its a polish army commander. You have a polish Armor Division moving from the ....
It. In sicily, at salerno, at anz owe. It just hadnt worked out that well for them. They probably were not going to foil the invasion at the water line. They could have stalemated the allies terribly perhaps more than they did. So i tend to see the armor getting to the beaches on dday as deciding everything as overrated a little bit in that sense. If we also look to the pacific, the japanese are just now figuring out in 1944, lets not fight them at the water line, lets fortify inland and bleed them. In the way, thats the last best option the axis venezuela v in 1944 is to bleed them so badly and take so much time that youll end up with a political change. But, you know, its a fun debate and i totally understand the other point of view because you can say, well, okay. But at the same time, if you let them get ashore they industrial the advantage there, too. Thats my feeling. All right, great. Thanks.
