Normandy:
Yes, I've seen the famous pic of the Brit / Canadian when the ramp went down. What I have never understood is, why that beach was not a gigantic wall of napalm from end to end. We not only had Air Superiority, we had Air Dominance!
With all the firepower at hand, no one should have been killed by machine gun fire on that beach. Our ground attack fighter planes should have been dropping napalm, at tree top level, right up until the ramps dropped.
Canadians:
The British were much more aware of and concerned about British causalities, then they were Canadian losses. Dieppe etc...
Cheers
