Local amateur historian and occasional beloved family member Paul Poppavich vehemently dismisses news of fascism’s rising international tide, despite an encyclopedic knowledge of World War II history.
D-day is June 6th 1944, its true the Americans were giving defense to the British, shooting at subs, protecting British ships etc., but that’s not really “entering the war” with the intention of defeating the Nazis so much as protecting an ally.
So yeah, you’re just ignoring everything we did before D-Day. We had been in the war for over two years by that point, in both theaters, but focusing on Europe. We had been protecting our allies up until Dec. 7 1941. We were in the European theater, with troops on the ground, as of early February 1942.
So are you just totally ignoring that The Battle of Stalingrad didn’t start for 6 months after we entered? July of 1942 is later than Dec. 7, 1941.
We were landing troops in Belfast, Ireland as early as January 26, 1942, so how were we waiting for a battle that hadn’t even started yet?
