My dad flew a glider in before 6 am.
82nd airborne. Ill go with that.
If you see the movie Gallipoli, that should cure anyone of ww1 nostalgia.
Turks with machine guns across a plain.
450k British commonwealth.
250k wounded. 37k dead.
Turks defended with similar numbers, 400k. 200k wounded.
Similar dead. After nearly a year of that, the Brits had 105k left and they retreated.
The whole damn war started over coveting ottoman empire pieces. They got them. We are still paying for it.
