They could have, Hitler didn't want to at the time. If he wouldn't have hesitated then it would have been a completely different war. Major frick up on his part

Now I don't know technically how close they really were, but they were plenty close enough to take them out if ordered

Yes, but the soldier didn't know that, he thought the old man would look at him because they had failed.

The British public was glad, but the soldiers didn't realize that, they thought they were failures because they were pushed off the continent and had to have civilians rescue them.

Only in America is literacy looked at as a bad thing.

That's absurd. So all of classic silent movies are considered "not worth watching"? LOL...okay. So much for blind people as well.
