![]() ![]() Something interesting Tuckwiller learned was that the US military would officially declare a soldier dead after he was missing for a full year. ![]() Then she combed through what’s left of WWII military records-many were lost in a fire in the 1970s-looking for “after action” reports from the invasion that included confirmed D-Day deaths. Tuckwiller began with all of the grave markers at the Normandy American Cemetery inscribed with a June 6th death date. “Their mission was to win a World War against Hitler,” says Long, “not to keep records that would satisfy peacetime researchers 75 years later.” Commanders did their best under difficult circumstances to accurately register the fallen, but death dates weren’t always definitive in the fog of war. ![]() In the chaos of the beach landings, for example, some soldiers ended up fighting, and ultimately dying, in different companies.

And because it was the top review, it was the first review people saw. Readers can click a "helpful" button and Amazon rates reviews by how many people click that button. Not only that, but it was also the top review of the book. That review had been up for a year and a half. Then it hit me, "I bet they removed my review of Jemar Tisby's book." So I looked. At first, I was like, "what the heck.I don't even post stuff on Amazon." I think I may have written two reviews on their site over the years. The email did not give any details, just that I violated their community guidelines. In July 2020, I got an email from Amazon warning about a post of mine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Portal for Greek Language / Literature, Modern Greek Studies, Modern Greek Literature & Culture.
