Sergeant-Major Stan Hollis, of Middlesbrough was the only soldier awarded a VC at D-Day and is believed to have gunned down 100 German soldiers

During the early hours of June 6, 1944 - D-Day - lines of scared young soldiers waited in the dark for the order to board the landing craft that would take them into battle on the beaches of northern France.

At the last minute they were issued with an unexpected piece of equipment — a condom each!

‘What are these for?’ boomed out the voice of Sergeant-Major Stan Hollis, a hulking power-house of a man from the back streets of northern England.

Hollis refused to go on the dole or take the war pension to which he was entitled. He even refused family allowance payments.

‘I don’t need charity handouts,’ he would maintain, with that same fierce pride and independence that had made him such a force on the battlefield.

This was a GREAT man.

This world needs more men like Stan Hollis.

They put the condoms over the rifle barrel. It kept water and sand from getting inside.

At first I thought, is he trying to be funny?, but that makes sense. lol

God Bless that man, nothing like an American soldier, just to bad he couldn't have doubled that number.

[chopperman]

His heroics would make a great movie, however, I think to do him justice, it would have to be a mini-series.

[Da Coyote]

Think of him and bow your head in respect.

Think of the obamadork and hurl in revulsion.

This world needs more men like Stan Hollis.

while she "dared" to condemned (HR) the communists,
her "friends" abandoned / savaged her...she spoke-up.
