Thanks. I will load that up.
My favorite D-Day anecdote is
when the US allowed a captured
German officer to watch some
of the landing operations at
Normandy Beach. Seeing so
much war material landing, the
officer asked, “Where are
the horses?”

There’s a scene in one of the last episodes of Band of Brothers where our troops are riding in trucks on an autobahn and German POWs are walking or riding in horse-drawn carts going the other way and a GI calls out “What were you thinking? You never heard of General Motors or Ford?”
