Sounds cool.

I would actually argue that August 6, 1945 was the most pivotal day of WWII in a "big picture" sense. But D-Day was pivotal in a "where is this war going?" sense.

/nitpicking because I love historical comparisons.

Did they get you into a laser show as well?!

You do know how many people sacrificed their lives that day to save the world? A little respect, (fill in the blank).

Cling to past glory! That's what dieing empires do best

Like @1 I would disagree that it was the most pivotal day. The war was already over at that point, with the Soviets in Poland, daylight bombing raids in Berlin, and the allies in Italy.

Momentous indeed, but not pivotal.

@5 So I guess you just disregard all history. Thanks for adding your wisdom to the discussion, dickhead. Seriously, you are one of the most useless twats on Slog.

Actium!

Important battle, but the war turned with the soviet counter offensive in Stalingrad. The U S and the allies fought with bravery and honor, but let's give the rushkies their due. They won the war.

But the landings were so dramatic and expensive!
