D-Day, 1944

Today is the 74th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy. Let us take a moment to remember the young men from the British Empire and the US who fought and died on the beaches of Normandy.

Here is a short video about the landings.


And here is a video about Joan Pujol, who helped with the disinformation campaign that kept the Nazis in the dark as to where the landings would take place. He is probably the only man to be decorated by both Hitler and King George VI for services rendered. Of course, his 'services' to the Germans consisted of feeding them false information!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
