Mention Utah, Gold, Juno, Omaha, Sword Beach to today’s youth and they’d think you were citing some really cool clothing optional sea fronts.

What are the chances that today’s media would hold the secret? Or that Millie wouldn’t spill it to Hitler?

In 1944 the Russians were ascendent, the U-Boat threat was minimal, and the Japs were in retreat.
Tomorrow is the 82nd anniversary of the Battle of Midway, when the allies were in a perilous situation.
In early 1942, the allies were on their heels. The Japs had swept the allies from the western Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The Nazis were deep in Russia and Rommel was kicking butt in north Africa.

I have friends that are jumping as part of the commemoration this week.
I’ll be in Holland later this year for Operation Market Garden 80.

Today, the 4th of June, Adm Dan Gallery forced a German submarine to the surface and captured it, the U-505, Enigma and all, off the coast of Africa. He was thrilled and proud, and was going to tow it into the nearest port, Casablanca.
One day before the scheduled invasion of Europe, and SHAEF was not happy.

I collect tons of military books about weapons and wars. The best one i have is an equipment of D-Day volume and very fully illustrated. Unfortunately it is all in German and I’ve never found its US published counter part. It really is an amazing collection.
