Hell in the Hedgerows: Bocage Fighting in Normandy (Summer 1944) 🇺🇸🇩🇪

After D-Day, American forces faced one of their toughest challenges in the dense Normandy bocage. Thick hedgerows turned the countryside into a deadly fortress for German Fallschirmjäger.

U.S. Army troops advanced meter by meter under heavy fire from determined German defenders. Close-quarters combat was brutal and relentless. To overcome the terrain, American forces adapted by modifying tanks to break through the hedgerows and support the advance.

This grueling war of attrition continued until Operation Cobra finally shattered the German lines and opened the road to the liberation of France.

Digitally restored, enhanced, and presented with sound design to recreate how these moments may have looked and sounded at the time.

I'm rewatching Band of Brothers and the Bastogne episode is always the one that hits me the hardest. Dick Winters said in an interview that they lost a third of their men from frostbite.

The Padres dropped down three straight sacrifice bunts.

The Reds failed to record a single out on any of them.

Just got back from watching "Pressure," about the uncertainty of predicting the weather for D-Day. Bottom line, go see it. Especially if you have any interest at all in WW2, but even if you don't.

I won't give anything away, but I will point out that this is not an action movie. It's more of a character study, especially about James Stagg, the man charged with giving Ike the all-important forecast for the invasion, and doing so under immense, well, pressure.

It's an aspect of the larger story that we usually only see touched on, or looked at from Eisenhower's perspective. He has a prominent role in this movie, but the focus is on Stagg, and it works.

On a 1-4 sunny skies scale I give it a solid 4 suns. ☀️☀️☀️☀️

John Johnson still holds Iowa's single-game scoring record with 49 points.
He was the leading scorer for the 1970 Hawkeyes, who averaged 102.9 points per game, a still-standing Big Ten record (second is 97.1). He was a 2-time NBA all-star and a NBA champ with Seattle in 1979.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

I was 11 when this aired on tv. I remember watching it. Over 1/2 of the US population watched this series. 85% watched some of it. My Mother bought the book. We used to be a proper country that could handle talking about our history.

Controversy never escaped Fran McCaffery during his tenure as Iowa's head coach, and he's again making the headlines after his firing.

Banning Keith Murphy from emceeing the Coaches vs. Cancer gala was a disgrace.

You want to fix education?

Let teachers remove kids who make it impossible for everyone else to learn.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Read this carefully.

This is Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today, speaking to reporters.

"We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do. And might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat. This is much more their fight than ours."

Get in a boat.

Let me tell you what is wrong with this.

Before the war started, the Strait of Hormuz was open.

Oil moved through it every day. American ships, European ships, Asian ships. One hundred tankers a day. Twenty percent of the world's oil. No blockade. No crisis. No emergency.

Then on February 28, the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran.

That was not Europe's decision. Europe did not ask for it. Europe did not vote for it. France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom publicly opposed it. Pope Leo the Fourteenth opposed it. The United Nations Secretary-General opposed it.

The United States started the war anyway.

Dear MAGA,

Just out of curiosity: If president Biden had banged porn stars, cheated on multiple wives, lied 30,000 times, singlehandedly and unilaterally started a war, released 5,000 Talibanis, bombed a school, bungled the Covid response, added trillions to the deficit, claimed windmills cause cancer, abandoned veterans, bombed 8 countries in one year, altered a weather map with a Sharpie, praised Allah in an Easter message, slept through numerous meetings, threatened to bomb another nation back to the Stone Ages because 'they're animals', violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause, sided with Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies, revealed highly classified information to Russian officials in the Oval Office, and golfed when dead service members returned home, would you think it was okay and support his right to do so?

If not, then why let Trump get away with it?

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Let me give the Democrats the only advice they actually need right now. 👇🏼

Stop the anti-Trump rhetoric. It doesn't work. It has never worked.

Move on!!!

Campaign on renewal.

Reconnect the bottom half of this country back to the social contract.

Talk about:

-jobs training
-better schools
-more food in schools

40 to 50% of kids are showing up hungry and you cannot learn on an empty stomach.

Go back to your roots.

Mario Cuomo got these voters. Lyndon Johnson got these voters. JFK got these voters.

Go back to them and say, we're sorry.

We disconnected from you.

Trump gave you an avatar for your anger.

We're here to give you actual solutions.

Do what Newt Gingrich did in 1994.

Put together a contract with the American Worker.

List every single thing you're going to do for the people who feel most left out.

Make it concrete. Make it a promise. Make them hold you to it.

But if you spend the next two years attacking Trump and waving the Epstein files around, he owns the Department of Justice.

It's his personal law firm now. You will get nowhere.

Focus on the future.

The people who feel left out don't need more outrage.

They need a plan. Give them one.

BOMBSHELL: A retired US Army General calls the Iran war the greatest geopolitical disaster in the history of America. He confirms Iran is an impenetrable fortress and Trump has stuck his hand in a hornets nest with no way out. The Pentagon is panicking.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Trump says he needs another $200,000,000,000 for his war.

Not for health care. Not for housing. Not for education.

Instead, he's asking every family to chip in $1,400 to keep bombing Iran.
