A quick look at points from the week's post.
A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.
D-Day - June 6, 1944. From the early hours the Allied troops go into action in the greatest combined operation of the war-first the paratroops, then the Air Force, and finally the armada of 5,000 ships. Troops, weapons, and supplies are landed in France and a tactical surprise achieved; in spite of heavy opposition they are able to force their way inland. King George's message and Churchill's broadcast in French bring new hope to the people of France. Always eager to be with the fighting forces, Churchill visits Montgomery on French soil four days after the first landings.
