Dark of the moon, 6th of June and all that.
Imagine sitting in a Higgins boat or other landing craft on your way to secure a beach, or crouching in a glider, or waiting in a DC-3 for the jump light to come on.
On your way to likely death.
Those men had balls.
And every singe European citizen today should revere them. if they aren’t being forced to speak German….or if their ancestors didn’t die in a concentration camp…..
Common men doing uncommon things time and time again. May they rest in peace.
