I totally agree with you, Britain was never alone. The same criticism could be made about the USA when they refer to the other Allied nations. As a Scot, I also get frustrated at the mention of how the word Britain is quite often substituted for England. Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland all make up the British Isles along with England and all reference to the War in that context should reflect that. I don't think this is done deliberately but none-the-less it can be disrespectful to those who took part and who saw many of their own killed and maimed to be told they were fighting for England.
Regarding the original posting, I enjoyed Band of Brothers especially the real veterans speaking about their experiences - came straight from the heart and left you with a tear in the eye. Brave men all of them.
