I probably deserve that last comment, I hope that some of my comments today will serve to dispell any ideas of anti-British sentiments on my side. Although for the record, I am half Dutch half Portuguese and live in the Netherlands.

Thanks for your understanding and trying to explain the British Commonwealth.

You ask some good questions.
Most valued are the opinions of veterans, although being close to the fighting, they may not always be fair in terms of the full picture. French soldiers fighting rearguard action in Dunkirk 1940 will have a different view than Canadians on the beaches of Normandy 1944 (or so I assume).

To repeat myself, the wording of the original topic was wrong.
