摘要：Even in this ahistori cal era, most Americans stil l know that June 6 is the anniversary of D-Day. A solid majority recalls that D-Day marked the inva- sion of France in World War II.

Actually, the British landed more troops, but we be- lieve differently, thanks to movies and TV shows like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, maybe even an old black-and- white gem such as The Longest Day. Start asking about the year it happened, which country was on which side, or ex- actly where the landings occurred, and you may well get the penguin salute.
