final solution was not the plan, it was only introduced later in the war. The holocaust is the correct name for it

the holocaust is a 1980's invention, the word is Greek and means death by fire so why we attribute it to the killing of the jews is slightly odd

Not only is it Prime Minister instead of Pri-Minister, England is in Europe and is not technically a sovereign country anyway!

'Which country did the majority of US forces gather and train in prior to the D-Day Invasions' answer: United Kingdom, would be far better.

Or is this another political ploy, like Egypt being in the Middle East?

Troops didn't parachute into Holland during Market Garden. They landed in Gelderland and North-Braband to be precise. Holland is just the westerly part of The Netherlands.
