American History

So we have many wealthy GOP donors who do want a quieter, gentler sort of fascism to take over here. Distracting the population on D-Day Remembrance back then would have brought them some emotional relief on a day when the Nazis finally started getting the snot knocked out of them from Western powers.
Despite what our hysteria, er history, books say the Germans sent HUGE forces eastward and were busy killing millions upon millions of USSR soldiers and by bombing food supplies starving millions more. Had the Nazis not ventured eastward and stayed with its huge Barbarossa* forces close to France, I think the D-Day invasion would not have even been attempted.
