I havent been to Europe in a few years but ever since Saving Private Ryan came out here in the USA, D-day is everywhere!

-SPR made millions.
-HBO(a cable TV station) came out with an amazingly successful mini-series about the 101st Airborne divisions drop over Normandy and the subsequent battles they fought in through the rest of the war.
-The History Channel is FULL of D-day shows.. too many to count.
-A visit to the local bookstore will yield tons of d-day books, often cheaply done to boot.

Americas affair with ww2 is a great thing imo, but it seems said affair only extends as far as the normandy invasion.

Id like to start seeing some shows on the Eastern Front (where my family fought), italy, and the pacific.

D-Day was an amazing and very important operation, but i think there are more important, and frankly more intresting battles that get little to no attention.

I hate to say it, but im bored of D-Day stuff.
