Tomorrow is the 70 year anniversary of the allied landing in France. I shall always have the profoundest admiration for General Dwight Eisenhower who took the giant risk of ordering the invasion when the weather could have collapsed on him. The American, British, Canadian,Polish,French soldiers and the French resistance forces who fought valiantly should never be forgotten. What is not known by many is that some 70,000 French civilians died in bombings during the invasion. The British Royal Air Force carried out these raids. Their bombing was far from precision.
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
