Born Hunter 17,994 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 You just can't imagine an operation of that magnitude taking place in today’s world. Reading about it, Sword beach alone had a greater British death toll (683) than the entire Afghan conflict (448). And that beach fell with little resistance apparently! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
