Theyre probably referring to the amphibious tanks on D-Day at Omaha and Utah beach, where almost all of them sunk because they were deployed too far out

Yeah, both the DUKWs and DDs worked well off Gold, Sword and Juno. Their floundering off the American beaches was not a limitation of the vehicles.

The Americans also bitched about the Ford GPA amphibious jeeps that the Soviets absolutely loved and made great use of.

Waves on western beaches: a bad experience. Also some just lost outright to their LCT hitting a mine. But success swimming in or just dropping directly on the shallows elsewhere. ~25% losses off the top to a mix of mines, enemy fire swimming in, or just waves and water.

I don't know why they're loving with the thing that there are papers going back to 1995 saying makes the Baltics a liability for ever joining NATO. It wasn't enough to see Ukraine get stomped? They need to spark something up there too?

It's insane how thoroughly Banderites control the narrative in Canada. Like even with Gaza there are plenty of non-zionist Jews and Jewish organisations speaking out etc. There is literally no dissent that I know of from 'Ukrainian' Canadians when it comes to Bandera being ftw or the Holodomor being the Even Worse Holocaust. Like the entire story has been completely ceded to the relatively small number who showed up here after the war (and their literal and ideological descendents) when there were already hundreds of thousands Ukranians in Canada before they started arriving. I assume because a fair number of pre-war Ukranians were some type of leftist and therefore the government needed some reliable, patriotic, anti-communist heroes to take charge genericnick posted:why would this dude panic Lol he was a collaborator.
