When you talk about propaganda, what's most damning is how simple, uncontestable facts -- like the U.S. making up a large minority of troops at Normandy -- get flipped on their head, to where many (most?) Americans think it was "mostly" U.S. troops doing the fighting and dying.
That's what you want to focus on if you're trying to talk to some lib about propaganda, not
shit like when precisely the Allied victory was inevitable.
It was mostly American troops doing the dying at least. They had fewer vehicles, got unlucky in terms of the German positions and supposedly refused to take advice from the British and Canadian forces because the commander was a notorious anglophobe.
That much is relatable, at least
I don't know, I think it's cool right up to the point where you get people whose lives you are responsible for killed.
