Just a reminder


65 years ago this week French, Canadian, British, American and other Allied soldiers, airmen and sailors were getting ready for what was going to be the beginning of the final push to Berlin.

We all understand and grasp the enormity of the events that occurred after the landings, but how many of us think of how they all felt in the weeks before June 6th 1944, D-Day?

  1. Really? It was the Soviet Army that took Berlin, and you only refer to them as "other Allied soldiers"? Wow!

    The photo is great, btw.

  2. Starik,

    The Blog was thinking about D-Day. Admittedly Uncle Joe's pressure on Churchill and FDR did a lot to push for the 2nd Front, but no Russian soldiers, as far as I know, were involved there.

    Thanks for commenting though!
