[QUOTE="soberups, post: 758013, member: 14668"] [b]Re: A shooting that erupted after an employee's disciplinary hearing left nine people[/b] Holland was [B]only[/B] able to be liberated because of the success of the Allied invasion at Normandy on June 6th 1944. Had this invasion failed, Camnadian troops would not have been on the European continent to begin with. The overwhelming majority of ships, planes, troops and tanks that made this invasion possible were [B]American.[/B] The sustained bombing campaign that crippled Germany's ability to fight a war on two fronts was waged by [B]American[/B] B-17's and B-24's. The U-boats that very nearly forced Great Britain into starvation and surrender in 1942 were defeated by [B]American[/B] aircraft and destroyers. The Battle of the Bulge, which was Germany's last-ditch attempt to divide the Allied armies and deny them the use of the deep-water port of Brussels, was fought and won by [B]American[/B] troops. Had this battle been lost, the Canadians would not have been in any position to assist in the eventual liberation of the Netherlands. I am not in any way discounting the contributions made by Canada during WWII. But it is downright ignorant to claim that [I]Canada alone[/I] was solely responsible for the liberation of Holland. The events that made that liberation possible did [B]not[/B] occur in a vacuum. [B]You[/B] are the one who really needs to learn better history. [/QUOTE]
