Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]
You don't.
I just came back from a walk...I noticed a dog pissing directly on the sidewalk since there were no trees or a hydrant. What this dog left behind was deeper than your typical post.
that's why Stalin virtually begged Roosevelt and Churchill to "open the second front"
No. Stalin never begged - "virtually" or literally.
Stalin was asking for a second front to minimize Soviet war casualties. Good Stalin.
In 1944, after Stalingrad and Kursk, even the "Allies" knew that the Red Army alone would beat the crap out of the Germans. So they enjoyed watching "commies" and "fascists" killing each other for as long as they could.
Then came the first oh, fvck moment...Oh, fvck...Russkies are moving fast and will be in Berlin sooner than we planned. Guys, we gotta get moving...Hence, D-Day.
From this point on, everything was a political dog-and-pony show...The three sectors, the French entering Paris first, the Warsaw Uprising, trusting the Soviets that they will allow free and democratic elections in Eastern Europe ...
Since the Western war machine was running out of enemies, the second "of, fvck" moment was desperately needed. It came as a speech..." We fought the wrong enemy" and "Iron Curtain". Later, as "evil empire"...
Bottom line: Nothing is what it seems. Unless you are a child still upset that Santa is a fake and a child molester.
