I see politics is creeping into our D-Day commemorations. Don't let it. A reminder: the landings were to free France & later the rest of Europe from the Nazis. On 6 June 1944, US, British, Canadian, Polish, Czech, French, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Greek, Danish & Spanish, Kiwi, Australian, Luxembourger, African, Indian & Rhodesian nationals took part on land, sea & in the air & special forces, plus anti-Nazi Germans & Austrians - the first 'United Nations'.

In this video I follow the footsteps of Theodore Roosevelt Jnr as he lands on Utah Beach on D-Day, up until his shock death in Normandy.

Accurate!

[The History Explorer @The_History_Ex]

Can an expert tell me what type of bones I found at Moissy Ford today in the Falaise Gap?

I’m assuming horse bones given the hundreds which died around the crossing as the Germans escaped East.

@ric_cole Good work Ric, the raid video is brilliant and was always going to do well. Having said that I think I have you beat, as I did go from 0 to 480,000 in 2yrs 🤷‍♂️ 😉 (not a defence channel of course)

@boot15_vu @parsons_roman In all seriousness, how arduous was a tour as an air traffic controller? Genuine question. Presumably because of aviation safety you require X amount of hours sleep each night, comfortably accommodated etc. I mean I doubt you slept on cardboard in a FOB for example

Russia was on its knees. Economy ruined & an army on donkeys. Trump has just saved them from the brink of collapse.

Imagine you’re Hitler in 1945, Berlin is burning & just before you lose all hope, the US President saves you. That’s what this is.

America siding with tyranny. Over its closest allies.

That’s why so many great Americans on all sides of politics are standing up now and protesting what is going on.
