God Bless The Heroes Who Saved The World On D-Day

June 6, 2021, is the 77th Anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy. The invasion that saved the world from Nazi tyranny. allied invasion of Normandy.

On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Code named Operation Overlord, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.”

The invasion was supposed to happen on the 5th, but the weather forced Eisenhower to delay:

Capt. James Martin Stagg was the chief meteorologist of the British Royal Air Force and was the one to brief Eisenhower about the rough seas and lashing rain affecting the shore on June 5. Stagg previsioned the small window of better weather for early morning June 6….The Germans did not foresee this brief break in the bad weather. In fact, they forecast unsettled weather until mid-June. In charge with the defense of the invasion of beaches with the Germans, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was certain there would be no invasion between June 5 and 8 because the tides would not be favorable.

Not to worry. Gropy Grandpa and the HO are working ceaselessly (with the aid of the media and our universities) to give Hitler a second chance.

.....technically Group Captain Stagg....I wonder how many members of the United States Armed Forces would be able to storm any kind of beach today....I doubt the trannies would have much success and all that activity would really harm the female members’ fingernail polish.... jus’ sayin’ ....

So far not a word on the news this morning, either ABC National news or local ABC Milwaukee. The big headline for us is our loser governor is going to run for reelection.

Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaule said he wanted all US Military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?”

DeGaule did not respond.

The video of that confrontation appears to be heavily censored. I found one, but they deleted the sound.

I read yesterday where Brian Williams said Antifa thugs were analogous to the men who landed in Normandy. Sigh.

And neither will we.

I checked this morning and there is no movies or TV shows being shown today on D-Day at all. Even TCM which used to be reliable in showing War movies has nothing but crap on today, Paul Newman comedies, among other things.

Those in charge now are the WOKEST, they don’t care and refuse to remember any history except that which they want to shove down our throats.

Well I found The Longest Day on Youtube and have it on.

Very very soon you will never hear from ANTIFA again!
That's a FACT!

Click this and run it up to 45 seconds in. THIS is a commercial bought and paid for by the Lincoln Project, RINO’s who worked to give us Biden. Offensive? You decide.

In the last 2 years I have read a great deal about the war on the Eastern Front. The sacrifices made by the Soviet Army and the atrocities by the Germans is hard reading.

Without those sacrifices D-Day could not have happened and been successful. While the casualties in Normandy were high, the losses on the Eastern Front ran into the Millions. The forgotten part of W.W. II.
