NORMANDY - Three hundred French civilians were killed
and thousands more wounded today in the first hours of
America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties
were heaviest among women and children.
Most of the French casualties were the result of
artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock
out German fortifications prior to the landing of
hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops.
Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town
of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than
the French had anticipated and reaction against the
American invasion was running high. "We are dying for
no reason," said a Frenchman speaking on condition of
anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I
never thought I'd say this, but life was better under
Adolph Hitler."
The invasion also caused severe environmental damage.
American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed
miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of
ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that
the habitat of the spineless French crab was
completely wiped out, threatening the species with
extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his
organization, which had tried to stall the invasion
for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but
not surprised.
"This is just another example of how the military
destroys the environment without a second thought,"
said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate
greed "
Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the
French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when
Hitler invaded said the invasion was based solely on
American financial interests. "Everyone knows the
President Roosevelt has ties to big beer," said Pierre
LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered,
Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world
market and make a fortune."
Administration supporters said America's aggressive
actions were based in part on the assertions of
controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a
letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were
developing a secret weapon, a so-called "atomic bomb."
Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale
never seen before and cause environmental damage that
could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied
having such a weapon and international inspectors were
unable to locate such weapons even after spending two
long weekends in Germany.
Shortly after the invasion began reports surfaced that
German prisoners had been abused by Americans.
Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at so-called
"concentration camps" has been rumored but so far,
remains unproven.
Several thousand Americans died during the first hours
of the invasion and French officials are concerned
that uncollected corpses pose a public health risk.
"The Americans should have planned for this in
advance" they said. "It's their mess and we don't
intend to clean it up!"
