I know some Vietnam War history but don’t know much about World War II’s D-Day. I remember at one point thinking that the American M60 belt-fed heavy machine gun used in Vietnam didn’t look like anything from the 1960s. Its hulking brutality reminded me more of a relic of the Industrial Revolution, more like cars of the 1930s and 1940s.
