On the 6 June, 1944 at 6.30 the Allies began their biggest
assault on Normandy’s beaches. It began
with a naval barrage into the German held coast which lasted 40 minutes. When the Allies broke through it was the beginning
of the end of the Second World War. From there they went all the way to Berlin
and across Germany. It might not be
known or believed but the German people were glad to see the end and most of
them the back of the Nazis.
650 veterans in their late 80s and 90s proudly displaying
their metals went over there to attend the commemoration of D-Day. There will
be others, the Queen, President Obama and other world leaders, at Sword Beach
when the old veterans salute their fallen comrades. These men come from an era where pride,
respect, principles and dignity was the norm. They still stand with pride that
they were part of the deliverance from the Nazi’s threat to their country.
Characteristics which today are badly lacking.
There were many heroic stories being told

| DWIGHT EISENHOWER |
At a secret kept house in Hampshire the Allied forces
supreme commander, America’s General Dwight Eisenhower, and Britain’s Army Commander-in-Chief,
Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery planned the Normandy invasion. In 1944 it was an artificial harbour with
British made concrete structures that were floated across the Channel which
enabled vital supplies and 2.5million troops. British and Canadian troops
landed at Juno, Sword and Gold beaches. Americans landed at Omaha and Utah,
Normandy, France.
The organised journey across the Channel to Normandy will be
for most the veterans will be the last time. The Normandy Veterans Association
shrunk to 600 members only and it was decided to disband it in November.

One more remarkable event in the D-Day Landing was the
gliders. More than 600 gliders were used because they could carry 28 men. The
gliders were more precise when they dropped the men than the planes. The gliders were 67ft long and had a wingspan
of 88ft. It could carry a jeep, a trailer, four bicycles, 20 torpedoes and two
metal footbridges. They were towed by a
Halifax bomber until they were airborne on currents.
For the 9th Para the mission was to destroy the
Merville Gun Battery which would have endangered the British landings at Sword
Beach eight miles away. From the 600
Paras only 150 made it.
Most of the people are against war, especially having lived
through two World Wars but the Second World War had to be fought to destroy a
very evil regime which was spreading across Europe.
Had they won, it would have been nothing but a continuing bloodbath, make no mistake. Most of the Nazis top leaders were brainwashed into thinking they were supreme. Had they won, they would have gone more power mad. Therefore, this regime had to be destroyed.
Who were the really guilty ones are the people who supported the Nazis financially and otherwise all the way. They knew Hitler’s plans from the beginning and could have stopped him. They knew what the Nazis were leading to. It was them to let Hitler kill six million Jews. Millions of soldiers and civilian died across the world.
The top governments and top financiers were backing Hitler and his Nazis and cheering them on. At the end the Allies were secretly helping the Top Nazis out of Germany and to South America. While in Germany they hanged every man they could get hold of without any court proceedings. Most of them were soldiers fleeing and trying to get back home. They did not know that the last order was to report to the Allies. Those men who knew and did it, were kept in camps and had court proceedings. Every one of them to find the guilty ones.
So who were the financiers who backed Hitler and the Nazis? Germany was broke and had inflation. Hitler was just an ordinary soldier and not from a well-off family. Some people must have backed him up financially to have such an astronomical rise. They also must have known he was in a mental hospital because of gas used in the First World War.
