Tis a day to remember in awe!

Answer 2

I didn't realize his talk was recorded...glad to hear it.

Here is something I post somewhere every D-Day Tink, I probably did so here last year...the bravery of the French Resistance, in spite of great personnel losses; i.e., getting captured by the Germans. They sabotaged trains rushing from Germany with reinforcements including a crack Panzer division, and who knows they may have tipped the success of the D-Day landings.

"1940 they (the French Resistance) could not have seemed very dangerous to the conquerors or, for that matter, very potent to themselves. Their reaction was spontaneous and personal. Yet they were the seeds which, nourished by arms and Allied organizers through four years of occupation, grew into an underground army numbering about 200,000 men-an army that after the Allied landings in June 1944 impressed Allied leaders as having made a substantial contribution to the defeat of the enemy."

The announcer got one thing wrong. At 0:56, he calls the German coastal defenses the "Westwall". The Westwall was actually along the border between France and Germany. The coastal defenses were called the Atlantic Wall.
