Well, one thing that's constantly overlooked is the simple fact trhe German's military were damned good. Their casualty ratios were nearly always in their favour (ie, they may have lost the War, but they kicked our asses never the less).

Without the great mass of planning, firepower and men thrown at them at D-Day, and the fact they'd totally lost air power...ugh would have been suicidal.

Sackrat,
talking of total screw ups, check up on "Dieppe", ugh :/

From what I can gather, my Great Uncle (really fun, nice old fella) was in a British anti-tank unit, I believe in Sherman Fireflies (Royal Artillery).
Man, that must have been bloody hairy :/
he never talked about it much, though we knew he was one of the guys who was at the liberation of Belsen.
