The American troops were so great. God bless them

[@monikaquinton]

They weren't so great. They bomed and destroyed so many German towns and villages with so many Germans dead. They knew by 1943 that Germany was losing the war and they still bombed and destroyed so many German towns and lives. How dare they?
