Amid the idealised sentimental ceremonies last week about Reagan and D Day, the only serious discussion I picked up about the complex politics of the very late opening of the "Second Front" against Hitler was this item from a Russian source in the IHT.
Even if you accept the progressive nature of intervention against Hitler, as I do, it illustrates the atmosphere of imperialist mistrust that underlay the alliance, delayed its start and delayed the second front. http://www.iht.com/articles/523780.html Chris Burford London
