6juin 2024, on celèbre les 80 ans du débarquement de Normandie, la bataille contre les nazis, et in fine leur défaite.
3 jours avant les élections européennes, pour lesquelles on annonce que le parti créé par des miliciens et waffen-ss arrivera en tête.

Je sais pas vous, moi ça me rend dingue.

Distributed #OnThisDay eighty years ago, on June 6, 1944:

General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s D-Day message. The text reads: Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. [signed:] Dwight D. Eisenhower
The “One Minute” leaflet (Z.G.45) is part of the ZG series produced by the Psychological Warfare Division (PWD) of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). The German text reads as follows: Eine Minute die Dir das Leben retten kann Lies die folgenden 6 Punkte gründlich und aufmerksam! Sie können für Dich den Unterschied zwischen Tod und Leben bedeuten. 1. Tapferkeit allein kann in diesen Materialschlachten den Mangel an Panzern, Flugzeugen und Artillerie nicht wettmachen. 2. Mit der Durchbrechung des Atlantik-Walls und der Ostfront ist die Entscheidung gefallen: Deutschland hat den Krieg verloren 3. Du stehst keinen Barbaren gegenüber, die am Töten etwa Vergnügen finden, sondern Soldaten, die Dein Leben schonen wollen. 4. Wir können aber nur diejenigen schonen, die uns nicht durch nutzlosen Widerstand zwingen, unsere Waffen gegen sie einzusetzen. 5. Es liegt an Dir, uns durch Hochheben der Hände, Schwenken eines Taschentuchs, usw. deutlich Deine Absicht zu verstehen zu geben. 6. Kriegsgefangene werden fair und anständig behandelt, ohne jede Schikane – wie es Soldaten gebührt, die tapfer gekämpft haben. Die Entscheidung musst Du selber treffen. Solltest Du aber in eine verzweifelte Lage geraten, so erwäge, was Du gelesen hast.

My adoptive grandfather took part in the Normandy D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach. He received the Silver Star with the citation reading, "On D-Day the landing craft upon which Colonel Chase was coming ashore under heavy enemy fire was struck by an oil shell and set afire. Despite painful burns of the hands and face, Colonel Chase by his leadership and calmness immediately restored order and placed the men in covered positions. Shortly thereafter the ship struck a mine, putting both unloading ramps out of order. Colonel Chase, disregarding the heavy enemy fire, secured a ladder to the sides of the ship and led the troops ashore. Upon landing, he found the brigade commander, a casualty. He assumed command and despite intense and continuous enemy artillery, mortar, machine gun and rifle fire, moved up and down the beach organizing and directing the work of his men in clearing the beaches."

He also received the Purple Heart, the Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, the Croix de Guerre with palm France, and officer Order of Leopold (Belgium). He was 42 years old on D-Day.

I often disagreed with his politics, etc. but feel the need to honor him on the 80th anniversary of D-Day and his actions on that day. He was only one of many who took part in that day.
