Just a minor quibble: As far as I understand the word, "Exodus",
whether the original Biblical one, or the post-WWII Exodus to Israel,
are evacuations or flights, not really the start of a deliberate
military operation. You could describe Dunkirk as an Exodus, but not
the embarkation for D-Day.
Otherwise, a nice piece.
