That's not how you pronounce "Jedburgh." C'mon Tom, if you're going to be the WW2 guy, at least have your researchers get pronunciation right!

The NBA GOAT is Stephen Curry. I’m sure Aldolf would even agree with that.

This part should mention about the fail cooperation of Allies force so that 1/3 of elite German forces escape from Falaise encirclement. It's responsibility of Eisenhower & Montgomery. This 1/3 German force made difference in Operation Market Gardens and the Battle of the Bulge

The flame of resistance is very much gone now though

The situation leading up to the liberation of Paris in 1944 is chronicled in the book "Is Paris Burning?" (French version published in 1964 by French publisher Éditions Robert Laffont and the well known English version was published in 1965 by Penguin Random House) written by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, with a movie adaptation in 1966. Lapierre and Collins would go on to write Freedom at Midnight: How Britain Gave Away an Empire in 1975, about the events surrounding the Indian independence movement and partition, detailing the last year of the British Raj, from 1947 to 1948 (starting from with the appointment of Lord Mountbatten of Burma as the last viceroy of British India, and ending with the death and funeral of Mahatma Gandhi).

Despite all of his egotism and arrogance, Charles de Gaulle was historically and honorably noteworthy for his immediate opposition to Germany and Hitler's aggression, even as many of his colleagues capitulated.

I hope we get some info on the Yugoslavian resistance and Greek resistance, they fought tooth and nail against the Germans and small axis powers
