Hello John and Crewman!
I agree with your comments about the U.S. forces receiving too much attention and the British, Canadian and Polish forces not receiving enough. This is true for many sources.
They completely ignore the fact that the British, Canadian and Polish forces engaged the major bulk of the German Army in Normandy. Then these same sources have the gall to say that the British, Canadian and Polish forces could not break out, that the U.S. Forces did this. They ignore the fact that it was offensives launched by the British, Canadian and Polish forces that diverted German attention which gave the U.S. Forces the chance to break out.
Of course, we know this but many sources think that the U.S. engaged the bulk of the German Army in Normandy, a German Army which was equipped entirely with Tiger Tanks, Burp Guns, 88's and SS troopers!
