The path to D-Day was paved with courage. In Feb 1942, 119 paratroopers risked all in Op BITING, seizing German radar secrets in a daring raid. Bold and decisive - their bravery shaped victory & is still studied today. We honour their legacy. #WWII #Bruneval #LestWeForget

Merci beaucoup @R1Le_Gall pour cet article remarquable. Après Sein et avant de lancer le RPF, c’est encore avec la Résistance que de Gaulle fera sa « vraie » rentrée politique le 30 mars 1947, à #Bruneval sur la falaise de la Seine-(encore) Inférieure. @Fondation_CdG @FondationFL

Imagine-t-on le général de Gaulle passer sous un arc de triomphe en casiers de crustacés et de poissons frétillants ? C’était à Sein le 31 août 1946 et tout ne s’est pas passé comme prévu… Autopsie d'une rentrée politique complètement ratée! #ArBrezel https://t.co/DfZmNHHX4V
