Can you break the coded message above?
If the code breakers at Bletchly Park had not broken the Enigma code, the deaths on the D-Day beaches would have been vastly greater.
To break the code above go to: -

The rotor settings and patches are the defaults (to make it very easy for you).
Type in the coded message on the grey keys and see what you get.
Have fun.

While other's memory may fade, we will never forget. Their honor is written forever in the history of freedom.
If anyone has XM Radio, the 40s on 4 is commemorating the D-Day anniversary by having radio broadcasts from 61 years ago. It began at 12:41 AM (ET) last night (or early this morning) with the first bulletin and will run until 6 PM (ET) on Tuesday. They did this last year and it is amazing.

The thing that strikes me about D-Day is that it would not be possible today, with all the advanced telecommunications, intelligence, radar, satellites, etc. that kind of attack just isn't possible, at least as a surprise.
A German round hit his boat right in the little office area. His jacket, draped over a chair, was filled with holes, and several cartons of cigarettes were 'Turned to snuff'. Lucky he wasn't there when it hit. He was busy out on the deck getting things done.
I often think about that, what he went through, because it took me all the way to age 24 before I ended up on Parris Island.
RLTW!
God Bless all of those who fought, those who were wounded, and those who died for us and our liberty - especially this weekend, those of the Midway and Normandy battles - but also throughout the history of our nation.
Today is also the anniversary of the Battle of Belleau Wood, in in which the US Marines halted Germany's spring offensive of 1918. This action may have saved France. In retrospect, I wonder if that was such a good thing?
