Way to discredit the loyal Wehrmacht soldiers that were there.

They fought like titans. To the bitter end.

Call them what you will; criminals, fanatics, but you can't deny them their glorious defeat.

Their defeat speaks louder than the allies "victory". This is why despite the demonization and historical lies and propaganda, the Germans can still garner sympathy and admiration from even their enemies to this day, meanwhile Allies have to continuously pump holocaust narrative and D days footage because that is all the glory they can scrape from the European theater.

OK, this is pushing it now lol.

Many people from both the Allies and the Axis fought VERY BRAVELY. D-Day is not at all overused, it's used very appropriately. And if the Allies lacked so much glory, they wouldn't have won. Never forget the bravery of the Soviets who marched all the way into Germany, the Finnish who resisted German occupation, etc. There's more to the Ally victory in Europe than just D-Day, don't try and revise history.

Have to respectfully disagree brother. I think there is a distinction made between western allies and Soviets

I will give Soviets credit for defeating the Axis more than the allies when it comes to actual strategically decisive battles (Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, Kharkov, Leningrad, Courland, Cherkassy, Narva, Budapest, Pomerania etc...). The best German divisions were in the East. North Africa was of less priority to the Germans and Normandy had mauled German divisions and less motivated foreign divisions.

Allies faced weak German divisions on D day, many of whom consisted of foreigners recruited from camps of Russian POW's who were less motivated to resist British and Americans than they were the Soviets.

The West still faced a difficult theatre, the Germans fielded better equipment and were deeply entrenched.

The most ferocious German offensive they faced late in the war was the Ardennes Offensive ("Battle of the Bulge"), that too only after Hitler weakened his Eastern Front by allocating his elite SS divisions to the West which proves that until the Ardennes Offensive the Western Allies were only facing weakened Wehrmacht divisions and inept foreign divisions.

When it came to fighting SS divisions from the East the Americans and British were brutalized only until Hitlers tanks ran out of fuel, thus saving Americans and Brits from utter humiliation and a second Dunkirk only this time Hitler wouldn't have allowed his soft spot for "English Germanic cousins" from stopping his from taking hundreds of thousands of prisoners.

Hitler's army was ferocious, as you yourself admit. Give the Allies credit where credit is due.

In that case they get a very small share of credit when it comes to actual combat participation in the European theater.
