Gallipolli was Churchill's idea but it was messed up by the planning. Just think what D-Day would have been like if the Allies anchored in the Channel for days before and then landed in broad daylight.

Don't confuse them with facts! They have been brain-washed from birth about Gallipoli and won't recognise the truth, no matter how often it's repeated. |
