Editor: As a U.S. Army veteran and history buff, I was really taken aback by Gisela Stearns’ letter on D-Day. It must be convenient to make one man the scape goat for the evils done in Germany’s name. The fact is, Hitler didn’t elect himself. A hateful minority, around one-third of the electorate in a…
