Telegraph | News | D-Day 1899 and President Denzel Washington is leading liberation of New Zealand from the Nazi's: "It is 1899 and Denzel Washington, the American president, orders Anne Frank and her troops to storm the beaches of Nazi-occupied New Zealand.
This may not be how you remember D-Day but for a worrying number of Britain's children this is the confused scenario they associate with the events of June 6, 1944."
Chris Grayling, the shadow education minister, said: "These are really very recent events that have shaped the lives of all of us.
"It is a real worry that so few children seem to know the basics of what happened during the Second World War. We must not allow this to continue."
That's an interesting comment from the Tories given that, while in power, it was they who downgraded the importance of teaching history in UK schools.
