Just read your article and watched the link. Didn't see anything about North Africa or Italy.The 34th Inf. Divn, was the first to be swent to the ETO. Made landings in No. Africa and
Italy with over 600 days of combat. We didn't make it to Normandy,etc,etc, No. Africa has
been quoted as the forgotten front. just an old dogface of the 34th.
Rocky my dear, you have to remember that many of the people who frequent our site and pay tribute to the WWII veterans and battles which ensued, do not live in Italy. They are from northern France, Belgium, etc., and are covering the history which incurred in their countries.
If I can speak for Juerg and his fellow historians, I know they mean no disrespect. As I stated before, I'm sure I am going to catch flak for not covering various units etc. in my documentary, but as above, it is not meant to be comprehensive.
