[Fanart] England's Invading
Title: England's Invading
Author/Artist: ca_manzanita aka japdrow
Character(s) or Pairing(s): England, America, and unimportant people
Rating: G
Warnings: Well, there's a corpse...
Summary: Some of England's WTF moments during D-Day, and a time when England created his own OC!
Hi! About time I posted something, huh? These are some of the silly pics that were to compliment the serious D-Day/ Normandy pictures from... a while ago... Please excuse the half-hearted attempt.
The two following pics are taken from Cornelius Ryan's "The Longest Day". The movie's good, but it lacks Canadians...
Soldier: Sir, the lads are wondering when do we get out of here?
England: Tell them it'll only take a minute. It's not our turn yet. Be patient!
. . . . .
Soldier: Well, how long do you think it'll take, old man? The hold's filling up with water!
Seriously, being in those floating metal boxes on rough waters... I'd want off just for that alone!
How the story ended was that the men basically jumped ship and were picked up by passing landing crafts and smaller ships. Half of them continued their way back to landings while the other was actually heading back to England. The men of the latter half were not amused by this at all. One man actually jumped ship and swam to the beach.
England makes a ridiculous rhetorical comment while being fired upon by Germany's machine guns... I try to make a decent dry comeback D:
Don't ask where the rifles are >_< they're the reason why it took so long for me to get this up!
England: America, allow me to introduce the heart of Operation Mincemeat: Acting Major William Martin.
America:.... He's, uh, dead.
England: Yes, America. That's the whole point!
America: Are you su-?
England: Yes! He's very much dead!
Operation Mincemeat was a deception plan to make the Germans believed Operation Husky was the planned Allied invasion of Greece rather than Sicily. The operation was so successul that the Germans sent their best field commander Field Marshal Rommel to Greece where he waited and was still there two weeks after the actual invasion occurred. Poor Rommel. Germany was, of course very embarrassed by this and when the Germans by chance came across real mappings and documents of Allied plans and troop movements on Normandy and Op. Market Garden a year later, they were completely ignored and deemed false.
There is actually a book and a movie about this called "The Man Who Never Was". I haven't seen either of them, but I would like to read the book, at least.
I imagined America was being really pushy and noisy about how the deception plan was to go, so England just decided to show him the actual plan. America did not expected to see a corpse. Since America is afraid of ghosts he might also be afraid of zombies. And with England hobbies...

Nice art!

I personally have mixed feelings about Montogomery. He was an arrogant and sometimes shallow man, but he was a good offensive field commander and Market Garden was his first big mistake. And looking at other field commander highly admired, Patton and Rommel also shared Montogomery's defaults and made huge mistakes while in the battlefield. So I guess it depends on who you piss off ^^;
