LBJ knocks it out of the ballpark

Of the 4,572 allied servicemen who died on that day on which, in retrospect, so much of human history seems now to have pivoted - only 19 were French. That is 0.4%. You don't say.

MacMillan, in old age, spoke ruefully of France's almost psychotic relationship with its Anglo-Saxon allies. France, he said, had made peace with Germany, had forgiven Germany for the brutality of invasion and the humiliation of four years of occupation, but it could never - never - forgive the British and Americans for the liberation. Right. Just ask Pepe.
