Just returned from a holiday in Normandy. We had a generally pleasant time. We visited the Arromanches 360 degree cinema. We were working from west to east and had previously visited St Mere Eglise, Utah beach, Point du Hoc and Omaha beach to name but a few. I could understand why these museums were exclusively American, because these were American landing areas. We visited the cinema and when it was only half way through the performance I felt saddened and somewhat angry. To the uneducated amongst us brought up on Hollywood's version of world war 2 (which is not much different from the average American's) the 'movie' would be fine, showing the US army liberating France side by side with the Free French. Maybe my great uncle was lying about his part in the Overlord campaign because we along with the other commonwealth forces deserved barely a mention. The other half enjoyed it because it was entertainment, but it was no more than this. I hope nobody thinks that I am anti-American, which I certainly am not but I am aggrieved that us Brits don't seem to get anything like the same recognition or adolation as the Yanks. Maybe they should have launched Overlord from Baltimore, maybe they did lol.....
