D-Day: Remembering the Fallen Live Now at BBC1
 

at the war cemetery at Bayeux with Sophie Raworth as presenter

quite nice weather too now for this remembrance service, very Sunny i see :hee:

now a interview with one of the remaining living d-day veterans Frank Baugh from doncaster

the ceremony starts at 11:15 UK time

now a interview with one of last living cameramen at that time

he forgot the French forces who had successfully been evacuated earlier from dunkirk, some of those also fought alongside british, americans, canadian to reclaim their territory


not Vichy France which was the name of the french defectors towards the Nazi's


but free French forces

But its more important
to hear how the Germans
did not give up
and kept shooting thousands of them.


USA lost the most men.

No Women in those days, near a front line/

yeah, it was a real massacre, i had seen ''the longest day'' few years back with my dad

and also the series ''band of brothers'' you also see the horrors of what happened at D-day, legs and arms get shot off
