The clips look good. Normally I wouldn't watch anything to do with sportsmen, but this isn't about Gary, so I think it should be good and interesting for anyone who has an interest in history or the war. |

my dad srved in north africa and italy, so what an eye opener. I had never heard of the d dodgers and i think it is right to say by tying down the germans in italy d day became a success. |

I think so much of Italian campaign was overshadowed by other major WW2 events. Gary did mention that the Capture of Rome on 4 June 1944 was overshadowed by the Normandy Landings on 6 June 1944; back in the day news was not as 'instant' as it today. |
