On This June 6th, Please Be Grateful For Your Precious Freedom

44

The heroism of the Allied Troops who landed at Normandy 74 years ago today literally saved the world. D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history and began with 24,000 brave American, British, and Canadian airborne troops landing at midnight on June 5th. The airborne assault was followed on the morning of June 6th by infantry and armored divisions storming the beaches of Normandy, under heavy gunfire from above.

A tribute to the brave men who jumped behind enemy lines on the night of June 5th, 1944. I’m in awe of the incredible bravery of all who sacrificed during the D Day invasion:

Muslims REJECT our holidays. They view us as the Big Satan. Even Valentine’s Day bothers them. Opps, love is not allowed by Muslims and the holiday is based on a Christian – Saint Valentine!

My dad didn’t go because he had flat feet. The military rejected that. Today they still reject that.

It’s hard to comprehend that sex isn’t binary and under Obama he wanted trannies in our military – really to destroy it. The whole idea was to have the government pay to mutilate your genitals, have hormone treatment and psychological counseling for the rest of your life to be the opposite sex. Clear cut mental illness!

We freed everybody that day. Like we freed the Negro 80 years earlier. We freed women to have abortion and kill their unborn. We freed the f ags to go marry another f ag and create the sodomites. We let the communist go twice. Once in WW II and the other in the Korean War.

Today, all these people work against us. The white American male, who they now hate with their GUTS with every liver in their body.

Should we free them again when the Megro, the Moslem, the Mexican, the Mongrel, and the Migrant bind them up?? Rape their sorry asses, burn their cities down and chop their heads off?

Yes, freedom, a noble concept and theory, I remember it well along with the concept of equality before the law, respect for the voter BY the elected executive and a non politicised police service.

Writing this from the county , coast and country where that stupendous effort was organised and launched from, I must remember to vote for freedom the next time I get the chance.

My efforts over the last 50 years have yet to yield fruit.

Not only that, it was their master plan. There are a host of good books written by actual participants or observers from that time period, such as “A Soldier’s Story” by General Bradley, “Crusade in Europe” by General Eisenhower, and the Pulitzer winning “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William Shirer.

No one in Imperial Japan even contemplated invading the USA, mostly because the majority of the Japanese army was fighting a war in China all the way to the bitter end.

I can’t begin to know the horror and bravery those men experienced as they landed on Normandy. There was no turning back. Dead bodies greeted them as they got off the boats. The Longest Day is a movie that tries to show what they experienced.

I’m not sure young people in particular, really appreciate their freedoms they are giving away in the form of political correctness, social justice warriors (Red Guard) etc..Any kind of depravity you an think of it being elevated. Through fascism they seem eager to give it all away to a utopia that will never work under a mere mortal. It’s upside down out there but maybe there is hope…to correct that. I don’t know.

As to your first line felix, I can help, order a copy of “We died with our boots clean” by Kenneth Mc Alpine.

In Jan 1999 I met him, I took over his pet dog Polly, we had her for another 8 years, she’s buried in my garden. Kenneth was the youngest Royal Marine {48} Commando to land on D day on Juno, he was just 18.

I love to read. I recently read a book called,

The Unknown Warriors
by Nicholas Pringle.

A UK author put an editorial in local papers asking former military to write about their experience in the WW2 and what they thought about the UK today. I learned allot about what they went through. It was often heartbreaking. As for today, they are devastated at what is going on. It was almost unanimous that they would have preferred to be UNDER HITLER than ISLAM or COMMUNISM. If they had to do it all over again, knowing THIS would be the outcome, the MAJORITY would never have fought in WW2.

Have your children READ this!

A collection of letters from Second World War veterans with memories of wartime and thoughts on life since the end of the war and the country today.

https://www.amazon.com/Warriors-Nicholas-Pringle/dp/1409271749

Reviews:

Good book told by WWII vets experiences in the war in their own words makes a very interesting perspective. Then they describe how they feel about Great Britain today and in most cases their feelings regarding their country are not good. Makes one realize how our much our two countries are alike. I was able to identify exactly with these people.

=====================================================

I’m not British: I’m American. But I was raised with the idea of “the greatest generation.” I am pretty sure this idea is even more true in Great Britain than it is in the United States: the fight against the Nazis seems to pervade their cultural mythology, as well it should. The British certainly suffered more than the Americans, and ordinary British people proved their mettle in ways their American contemporaries couldn’t imagine. Pringle figured it was worth asking these men and women their stories, *and* what they thought of modern Cool Britannia. The answer should chill anyone to the bone. Most of them say the fight wasn’t worth it. What happened to Britain subsequently seemed worse to them than being conquered by Nazis. Think about that for a moment. These are the people who actually fought the Nazis; not people who only know who that time from old newsreels and ridiculous Hollywood movies. They’d rather have learned goose stepping in German than live in modern Britain. Their complaints mostly boiled down to immigration (Germans apparently make better neighbors than the invaders they got), immorality and crime. The civilization they suffered so much to defend against the Nazis is now dead and gone, never to return, and replaced with something ultimately even more abominable.

I don’t know; maybe it was selectively edited. Maybe the type of people who respond to such request are alienated grouches, though not all of them were: one or two liked modern Britain. Their wartime stories had the detailed ring of authenticity, and were told in the voices of ordinary people, rather than some propagandist trying to make a point. I believe the author was simply trying to give these people a voice before they all died out, as he said. The war stories themselves are fascinating, but their opinions on modern life are a real punch to the throat.

======================================================

I would like to praise the author for giving the heroes of the second world war a platform to air their opinions. I’m not at all surprised about some of the politically incorrect views of the veterans, but I found it depressing that so many of them feel disconnected to the land they fought so hard for and many of them are no longer proud of their country as they don’t recognise or even like the place. The government and media will have you believe they took up arms to fight for equality against tyranny, the men in this book tell you they fought because they believed their way of life was under threat and wanted to preserve it, they feel since the end of the war successive governments have eroded what they loved through politically correct policies and handing constitutional power to the European union, many of them feel their fallen comrades will be turning in their graves at the state of Britain today. This book can get a bit repetitive because the veterans opposition to the E.U, mass immigration ,homosexuality and general degeneracy in modern society is unanimous.

=======================================================

I came across this book via a discussion on the Daily Telegraph.

It is a collection of letters from British World War 2 veterans describing their experiences in the war and/or their thoughts about Britain today and whether they feel that the sacrifices they and their comrades made were worth the outcome. It is a book which I myself have remarked many times in the past ought to have been written and I am so pleased that someone has found the time and energy to do so.

Chillingly, it charts the decline of what was at the time of WW2 the most powerful nation on earth into a place which a great many of the old soldiers, their widows and other war survivors such as Land Army girls and blitz survivors say they would generally rather not live in and that they are so glad that they are 80+ not 18. Perhaps most unnerving of all, a number of them actually think Britain would have been improved by Hitler: something that you would never have imagined they would say.

The book is not in any way the subject of modern ‘spin’ to make the views more politically correct, which is refreshing. I believe that the views are really not very different from those held by a silent majority of Britains and that all politicians should have to read the book.

I recommend it for being an unvarnished truth and it is an achievement that it is now on the permanent record of the British nation.

While my father and thousands of other Allied troops risked their lives on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, Pierre Trudeau, a former Canadian PM and the father of current PM Justin Dopey Trudeau, was riding around Montreal on a motorcycle while wearing a Nazi helmet. Ramadan is more important to leftists than D-Day.

There were many D-Days and H-Hours before June 6, 1944. Also incredible victories against seemingly impossible odds.

Midway, June 4-7, 1942, had concluded 76 years ago when carrier Yorktown sank. This was the most decisive battle in WW II to that time, and considered to be one of the greatest victories of all time.

The US Navy was, so it seemed, hopelessly outweighed, outgunned and lacking in combat experience. Some luck, some skill and daring, turned the tide of WW II and led to more spectacular victories in the war long before June 6, 1944. Like Guadalcanal, the New Guinea campaigns and others ….

Midway was the largest naval engagement in the history of the world. More ships and men were involved than even the battle of Jutland. On paper the IJN should’ve won.

Actually, in terms of naval tonnage committed, Leyte Gulf (1944) was bigger. Still, even at Midway, Japan committed 11 battleships while the US Navy committed none. Many of these were positioned (squandered) in Admiral Yamamoto’s Main Force, too far away from Admiral Nagumo’s First Carrier Striking Force to offer sufficient AA firepower to fight off the numerous attacks from American land and ship-based aircraft on the morning of June 4, 1942.

At Leyte Gulf the IJN fleet carriers were deliberately used as bait because there weren’t enough naval pilots and planes to make them useful, a tactic that has desperation written all over it. There were 200 ships involved at the battle of Midway.

The Yamato class battleships weren’t fast enough to keep up w/the main carrier task force. I suppose slowing the carrier task force down to match the Yamato’s speed would’ve been an option.

I believe the IJN strike force had more planes than all the US forces combined and the Midway squadrons were quickly disposed of.
The invasion of Attu was a complete waste of manpower and equipment.
I’ve read that Yamamoto considered assembling his remaining untouched two carriers and going on the offensive against the remaining two US carriers and bringing his battleships up to shell Midway directly even after losing the Akagi, Soryu, Hiryu and Kaga.

Good discussion. At Leyte, Admiral Ozawa knew his mission was suicidal.

Off Midway, top ranking officers, even Yamamoto, had vainly hoped Adm. Spruance would continue his westward pursuit of surface forces, including the damaged ships of Admiral Kurita’s fast Kumano-class cruiser division. Spruance outsmarted Japanese commanders, giving his already tired fliers a break after the incredible victory he had already won.

I think more USN sailors died at Guadalcanal than marines. An entire US task force was obliterated by the IJN in Ironbottom Sound — incl. the admiral commanding the task force.

Guadalcanal was hard on the Navy. Almost 1000 sailors were lost off Savo Island August 8 – day after landings. Believe you are referring to the first night of the Naval Battle for Guadalcanal – November 13 or thereabouts, when the US Navy was badly pummelled (but so was the IJN). In this battle Admiral Daniel Callaghan was killed on the USS San Francisco, and Admiral Normal Scott lost his life on the light cruiser Atlanta, which went down that night.

National Geographic published a video in the 1990’s titled something like “The Ghost Fleet of Guadalcanal”, telling many stories of the last moments of ships sunk in Iron Bottom, both Japanese and American. May be available on You Tube?

If the IJN had been more aggressive they could’ve sunk the USN supply ships anchored off Guadalcanal, as they were undefended after the covering force was sunk.

IJN Admiral Mikawa had to act with speed to succeed in the night attack he was committed to perform off Savo Island. You are right. He could have caused more damage. The senior commander of the covering force was Captain Riefkohl, commanding officer of the cruiser Vincennes, sunk in the engagement. The only flag rank available, Rear Adm. R.K. Turner, was out of position to command this unprepared force.
