A reader has pointed out that not all press coverage of D-Day is cynical.

Ouest-France has an editorial that is very frank in its appreciation of the American sacrifices made in

Normandy and elsewhere. The editorial appeared too late for me to include,

or i would have. Sad to say, Ouest-France obviously draws most of its

circulation from outside Paris and the Ile de France, where the press is

far more influential–and decidedly less charitable.
