Documentary - No Bridge Too Far

[Walt's Daughter]

That's HISTORY as of November 1942. When they are talking about an invasion, they are comparing it up to and including that point, not future dates, which didn't exist yet.

 

When Operation Torch was carried out, the world had NEVER seen anything like it. It was a FIRST!

 

Now if a book or movie is comparing the entire war from 41-45, then that's a different story. Here we are talking from the viewpoint of someone standing in November of 1942. It's all written in present tense.

 

Hope that helps you!
