the Brits didn't do shit, you guys backed away and left them alone. I imagine the Allied victory was what kept it in tact. If we had gotten into the foray sooner, you can be sure that we would have murdered every single kraut in France, but what do they do to pay us back anyway? wow, we have a lame ass copper stature. fuck france.

d-day was of no use... russians were at Berlim´s door at that moment... the americans + british (+canadians?) single purpose was to reach it first and say they won the war...
AND, Adolf "motherfucker" Hitler said many times that he would not destroy Paris, so people would see how crappy it is near to the Berlim he wanted do buid... So the french should thank Napoleon III, and not capitulation, for their beautifull city =)
