>drink tea on the beach while Americans and Canadians do all the work
would wreck the whole BRITON STOOD ALONE narrative

because no one likes us

Because all the money is American. Be happy Nolan has enough clout there that they're willing to let him make one about Dunkirk, however much of a hack he is.

cause who cares bout britcucks

>not the German perspective

you must go back

Sadly true

Why make a movie about Dunkirk when one about Normandy would be more marketable and yet is just as unexplored and fresh in movies as a topic (The British/Canadian sector of Normandy that is)

A Nolan directed movie about The Battle of Caen would be AMAZING!

we dont need another fucking movie about normandy

this^

Dunkirk is far more interesting desu, you can't honestly believe otherwise.

Quality post, user

Yes user, we do. We also need another about the Battle of the Bulge, one on Kursk, one on Leyte Gulf, one on Luzon, one on Bagration, one on Seelow, one on Hurtgen, one on Kasserine pass, one on Anzio, one on Monte Cassino, and one Sevastopol

By D-Day, Britain had been at war for 5 years and had already won the Battle of Britain and the Battle of North Africa. D-Day just doesn't loom very large in the British imagination like it does for Americans.

best answer right here

D-Day films usually focus on Omaha Beach because it was the hardest-fought. The American landing at Utah (commanded by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.) and the British-Canadian landings at Juno, Gold & Sword were all rather easier, and thus less dramatic.

It was also the first time since ww1 that Americans had fought humans.

I'm not just talking about D-Day though

I'm talking about the Normandy Campaign as a whole.

...and Caen was a lot more dramatic than any battle America was involved in

The Longest Day covers all sides desu

This, it's pretty comfy as well

Who were we fighting in the Pacific and in North Africa and Italy? Orcs?

>"The Italian army invaded Greece on 28 October before the Italian ultimatum expired. The invasion began disastrously, the 140,000 troops of the Italian Army in Albania being poorly led and equipped, and having to cope with the mountainous terrain on the Albanian–Greek border and tenacious resistance by the Greek Army. By mid-November the Greek army had stopped the Italian invasion just inside Greek territory, and counter-attacked, pushing the Italians back into Albania, culminating with the Capture of Klisura Pass in January 1941. The Italian defeat and the Greek counter-offensive of 1940 have been called the first "first Axis setback of the entire war" by Mark Mazower, the Greeks "surprising everyone with the tenacity of their resistance". After reinforcing the Albanian front to 28 divisions, the Italians conducted a spring offensive in 1941, which also failed and by February there was a stalemate. In the spring of 1941, the failure of the Italian counter-offensive and the arrival of British ground forces in Greece led the Germans to invade on 6 April. During the Battle of Greece, Greek and British forces in northern Greece were overwhelmed and the Germans advanced rapidly into Greece. In Albania, the Greek army made a belated withdrawal to avoid being cut off by the Germans, was followed up slowly by the Italians and surrendered to German troops on 20 April 1941 (then to Italy for propaganda reasons several days later). Greece was occupied by Bulgarian, German and Italian troops. The Italian army suffered 154,172 casualties from all causes and the Greek army about 90,000 losses. The economic and military failings of the Italian Fascist regime were exposed by the Greek débâcle and defeats against the British in Africa, which reduced the Italian fascist regime to dependence on Germany."

user, the Bayeux Tapestry is so huge that it basically summarizes everything that there was to say on the topic.

ww2 not norman conquests dumbass

Canadians and Brits did the job right and landed with light casualties, so there's no real drama.

You are a legitimate retard, or just completely ignorant of American military history.
