"..As a recent new citizen who was born and brought up in Germany, I am very grateful for the heroic sacrifice of many British men and women in the Second World War. But why does the Home Office want us to forget the many Americans and Canadians who died alongside them on the beaches in what was a joint Allied invasion?.." Quite a delicious irony, given general consensus in Britain that, if Hollywood is to be believed; the USA won the Second World War single-handedly.
