6.6. early
Tomorrow is 62th anneversary of D-Day, a day where brute force from all sides clashed like never before. This blog will remember all persons fighting, for whatever reason, nationality or allegiance because in war, there is no victors - only people who survive, and those who don’t.
Pictured (in uniform) is Winters, who later became a major. His journey through D-Day plus 1095 is well documented in book Band of brothers.

I have always been interested in military stories, not much strategy, but things like tactics and personal stories behind it. I find book Band of brothers very good at describing such events. I’m waiting for Pegasus bridge (same author, Ambrose), and I hope it will be as good.
I once made a list of German/Russian memories from the front, but I never got around. Perhaps this year, depends how money stands.
