Today is the 67th anniversary of the Anglo-American landings at Normandy on D-Day.

Like a well told tale, the invasion of France has become lore. Movies such as “Saving Private Ryan” and the HBO series “Band of Brothers” provide a reference point to the violence of war. But as we watch these scenes, we are all Monday morning quarterbacks; knowing how history played out, and that the sacrifices on the field of battle cumulatively led to victory.

But the people fighting those battles six decades ago didn’t know that.

For them, how the war would end was very much an open question.

How they acted and what they did, was the ultimate tool of decision.

Indeed, at crucial points during the war, battles turned on the actions of individuals, and those battles determined the course of the war.

It was a very near thing indeed.

History shows that on June 6, 1944, 160,000 US and allied troops were involved in Operation Overlord, the code name for the invasion of Europe. It was and remains the largest amphibious operation in history.

June 6th was also expected to be one of the most lethal days for US troops in American history, with carnage unheard of since the American Civil War.

Allied high command was so concerned about the anticipated, epic levels of violence, destruction and death that would meet the first wave of troops that they were reluctant to assign veterans of other invasions, fearing the men would be overwhelmed and break down. As a result, two of the three US divisions assigned to hit the beaches at Normandy had never been in combat.

And as history turned out, the high command's expectations of violence were more than justified.

At Omaha Beach, the US 1stand 29thInfantry Divisions, and the 2ndand 5thRanger Battalions, faced the veteran German 352ndInfantry Division, one of the best trained units in the German army.

Through acts of commission and omission, the majority of the allied landing craft missed their assigned sectors on Omaha Beach, causing confusion, and in some instances, landing American troops directly in front of German machine gunners.

As a result, casualties among the first wave of trooops were nothing short of catastrophic, where surviving American soliders were leaderless, isolated and traumatized by the violence surrounding them. The situation was so grave that senior commanders considered abandoning Omaha altogether.

But from the unspeakable carnage came a profound courage.

Slowly, small units of infantry, based on nothing more than individual initiative and survival instinct, formed up as ad hoc groups, and began to move the 1,000 yards off the beach to dunes to take on the German pillboxes and establish an allied foothold in Europe.

It was at that critical time of decision that Lt Walter Taylor, Company B (or Baker), 116thInfantry, of the 29thDivision, landed with the second wave.

Coming ashore, Taylor didn’t know that his commanding officers were already dead.

But, seeing the chaos, Taylor immediately took the initiative.

He led a group of men off the beach, crawling past the obstacles, barbed wire and mine fields, and eventually over the sea wall.

He continued to lead his men straight up the bluff and into the town of Vierville, where he engaged the Germans in a two-hour fire fight, and won without losing a man.

It was only later, meeting up with other elements of Baker Company, that Taylor realized that he was in command. The sergeant did a head count – there are only 28 men out of the original 240.

Undeterred, Taylor proceeded to lead the 28 men inland against an imposing German fortification with rock walls and artillery proof tunnels.

Taylor engaged the Germans there and continued the fight throughout the day, leading a force mixed from his company and several Rangers, trying to reach goals outlined in the Overlord plan for Day 1. This despite the fact, borne out on Normandy, that no battle plan survives the beginning of the battle.

By nightfall, Taylor and his men made camp near the village of Louvieres. An allied runner found them with a message to fall back to meet up with the remnants of the battalion, closer to the sea.

Taylor had led his men to a place a half a mile ahead of the rest of the United States Army in Europe. It was an incredible accomplishment.

The violence visited upon US troops landing in France was an experience beyond the confines of common human understanding.

Consider that after ten years of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, US forces have suffered 6,059 combat deaths. By contrast, the US Army Center for Military History estimates that US troops suffered 6,036 causalities on D-Day alone.

Yet despite the violence and destruction, a handful of men, like Taylor, marched on, took initiative and carried the day.

Time and again, when the odds have been daunting, individual American courage, determination and resourcefulness have been the common element in uncommon valor; valor that has decided the course of history.

For his efforts on June 6th, Lt. Taylor was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. The accompanying citation states, “Second Lieutenant Taylor's intrepid actions, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 29th Infantry Division, and the United States Army.”

As a nation, we are continually blessed to have such men and women.

As for Taylor himself, he survived the war.

He passed on April 17, 2003, a retiree of the Baltimore Police Department.

May God bless him and all those who fought, sacrificed and died on that terrible day so that Europe could be whole and free.

In today's world what is still important is what these men, these HEROS did.

THAT is what remembrance of THIS day is about.

What is most interesting to note from an American point of view are the posters who ARE here, and those who are NOT here.

What is also pretty important to notice here, if you really want to know the kind of people that America now has as OUR internal enemies, is to see what these vermin say on a thread whose only purpose is to remember great deeds done by great men.

If you wonder what kind of craven filth OUR internal enemies are who would even try to spoil or soil that, you will then know that you have seen the TRUTH of the dreck and filth of their pitiful souls.

You two cunts have never served even an instant in ANY military, let alone in any of the US armed forces have you?

Yet you two craven poltroon parasites shit all over any/every thread that even tries to remember or honor the great acts of these great men.

I apologize to all cunts for comparing you two craven poltroon parasites to them and thereby needlessly insulting cunts.

You two craven poltroon parasites aren't worthy of even walking across this country let alone living in it.

The sweat off of these men's balls was worth more to America, the world and LIBERTY, than you all, combined.

D-Day: Afternoon on Omaha Beach What Hitler Did Wrong Converted for the Web from "D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II" by Stephen E. Ambrose

excerpts:

Third, the German command structure was a disaster. Hitler's mistrust of his generals and the generals' mistrust of Hitler were worth a king's ransom to the Allies. So were Hitler's sleeping habits, as well as his Wolkenkuckucksheim ideas.

The only high-command officer who responded correctly to the crisis at hand was Field Marshal Rundstedt, the old man who was there for window dressing and who was so scorned by Hitler and OKW. Two hours before the seaborne landings began, he ordered the two reserve panzer divisions available for counterattack in Normandy, the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr, to move immediately toward Caen. He did so on the basis of an intuitive judgment that the airborne landings were on such a large scale that they could not be a mere deception maneuver (as some of his staff argued) and would have to be reinforced from the sea. The only place such landings could come in lower Normandy were on the Calvados and Cotentin coasts. He wanted armor there to meet the attack.

Rundstedt's reasoning was sound, his action decisive, his orders clear. But the panzer divisions were not under his command. They were in OKW reserve. To save precious time, Rundstedt had first ordered them to move out, then requested OKW approval. OKW did not approve. At 0730 Jodi informed Rundstedt that the two divisions could not be committed until Hitler gave the order, and Hitler was still sleeping. Rundstedt had to countermand the move-out order. Hitler slept until noon.

The two panzer divisions spent the morning waiting. There was a heavy overcast; they could have moved out free from serious interference from Allied aircraft. It was 1600 when Hitler at last gave his approval. By then the clouds had broken up and Allied fighters and bombers ranged the skies over Normandy, smashing anything that moved. The panzers had to crawl into roadside woods and wait under cover for darkness before continuing their march to the sound of the guns.[end]

Parrot: Its amazing when one considers the numeric of heavy German Armor,towed 88's and other effective weapons which were scattered everywhere's it seems in France and not in action for days and days.
Allied Airpower did maul them,......the first Sherman tanks Platoons inland in the weeks following saw high attrition rates.
The allies were making ground,...but it was damned costly to say the least.


excerpt from 3rd Armor website [http://www.3ad.com/history/wwll/feature.pages/ death.traps.htm]
Tabulating the results of this mismatch, Cooper highlights the staggering cost of the Army's flawed choice for its main battle tank. Over the next 11 months, the Third Armored Division, which began the Normandy campaign with 232 M4 tanks, would see 648 of its Shermans destroyed in combat, with another 700 knocked out of commission before being repaired and returned to service - a cumulative loss rate of 580 percent. Casualties among tank crews also skyrocketed, producing an acute shortage of qualified personnel. By late 1944, Cooper recalls, the Army was sending newly arrived infantrymen into combat as replacement tank crews. Some of these recruits received only one day of armor training before being dispatched to the front in their M4s.[end]

Parrot: Cooper is quite critical of Gen Patton for pushing the M4 as the US main battletank.
His coment:he "has seen more knocked out tanks than any other living American." His eyewitness observations confirmed what American tank crews discovered in combat: the Sherman was badly outclassed by German medium and heavy tanks, most notably the Mark V Panther and the Mark VI Tiger. With their heavier armor, the Panther and Tiger were almost impervious to rounds fired from the Sherman's 75 or 76 mm main gun; conversely, the 88 mm gun on the German tanks usually made short work of their American opponents.[end]

Parrot: Criticism and short commings aside,.....US tank crews understood the gravity of what they were up against,....and most kept at it day in and day out while their Platoons were decimated.

These men were everything in the statement.....The greatest Generation

thanks for posting, my father in law arrived in Europe on D-Day + 7 with an Army Ordnance unit, he's in his early 90's and for the almost 20 years that i've known him, has never been able to talk about his arrival in Europe without breaking down over all the dead men that he saw.

Correction, I had vapid and vindictive tail chasers like you try to give me an article 15 and I realized would be best served by bringing it up to the level where the rules of evidence would be strictly enforced and would give me the best chance of beating this and I was right. And I went from E-1 to E-5 in two year and three months after my initial enlistment, which is far better than the average rank accomplishment for my peers and me in the late 1970s.

So you can spin or insult all you want, I don't care. It only shows your megalomania and immaturity.

As a rule of thumb when someone is as vain about their intellectual abilities as you are, there is more insecurity than mental horsepower.

Besides, you said you were done posing to me and were putting me on the killfile list of yours'.

You can't even follow through with what you say, so why should anyone take anything else you say seriously?

Wow... Does anybody actually BELIEVE that crap?

Clearly, assuming the consequences for your actions, is an alien concept. But then again, you're a socialist/leftist/wingnut- which means you will NEVER take responsibility for your own stupidity.

But, thanks for the rationalization... It's quite amusing.

If there was no offense, there is only defense. You can't take accountability for what did not happen.

If I had done the offense, I would of taken the article 15.

What I find most interesting, is how these so called "vets" can go on to a thread meant only to remember and honor the great actions of great men.

Then shit all over it accusing others of totally irrelevant BS.

Of course by then the thread is a shit covered pissing match.

Which disrespects and dishonors THEIR memory, NOT mine.

What's going on here is that these disgusting libTURD cunts are trying to keep me, (or anybody else), from ever posting threads to honor and remember GREAT AMERICANS.

You see these libTURD creeps have no HONOR, they have no RESPECT, they HATE AMERICA, they HATE AMERICANS.

So they shit all over threads such as this one, and we in dealing with these VERMIN, we must descend into the muck and filth where they live.

It's kind of like wrestling with a pig, no matter what, the pig enjoys it and you WILL get dirty.

That so called "vets" act this way just shows exactly what kind of "vet" that they are.

Because IF you ever served you'd KNOW what these men PAID, and you would NEVER dishonor their memory.

Cornflake whore is base filth. She LIES with every breath. She HATES AMERICA, she HATES AMERICANS.

She is a self absorbed, spoiled, stoopid little whiney bitch.

...It's always a pleasure to tell you you are full of shi,t as usual. ..

You blow it out your ass too, M. Doggie Dog. ....

An eightball like you is always talking about the cue ball. ....

It would seem you're quite free with the insults, right from the gitgo.

Of course, you IMMEDIATELY pretend to be indignant.

Which of course, falls RIGHT into:

Rule of Disinformation #4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

Rule of Disinformation #5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Rule of Disinformation #11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the “high road” and “confess” with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made - but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, “just isn’t so.” Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later. Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for “coming clean” and “owning up” to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.

And as the final cherry on the cake:

Rule of Disinformation #2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the “How dare you!” gambit. Rat-boy, you're a joke. You feign victimhood, when you immediately stick your head in the trap, and then pull the lever on yourself. Awww..... ((((sniff)))))

I'm simply LMAO at your stupidity. As you so aptly demonstrate, there's no fool, like an old (socialist) fool. :)

Oh, and before I forget... thanks for playing! LOL.

Can it. I watched your act plenty of times on eLPee and here. It's no mystery to anyone.

It's pretty amusing to watch, especially when you get a rupture in your corset because someone doesn't slaver all sorts of praise at you for posting something you post to commemorate how wonderful you are for your latest commemorative thread.

And by the way, you didn't 'own' a piece of those outdated used planes flown by badly trained third world pilots shot doen by the Navy in the Vietnam Conflict. You were a lop on a boat when you could of signed up for a real combat branch like the Army or Marines and been a real combat vet. As my good friend Sneaky Pete was kind enough to point out.

You get what you ask for. I was nicer to you than was warranted when you first slithered over here, and I can only take so much of your on the rag version of your egotistical rants so long before you get what you dish out right back at you.

You are a legend in your own mind, Erica. And your attempt to taunt by mimicking what I say doesn't bother me. ;-)

Rat boy; He is like a vampire, vicariously living off the honor and respect due others. Good call

Says the ground-pounder helicopter mechanic, who got court-martialed for being both a loud-mouth, AND stupid...

Rat-boy, you wouldn't know about honor OR duty, if it were tattooed on your (low, protruding) forehead.

MD; What I find most interesting, is how these so called "vets" can go on to a thread meant only to remember and honor the great actions of great men.

Then shit all over it accusing others of totally irrelevant BS.

Of course by then the thread is a shit covered pissing match.

Which disrespects and dishonors THEIR memory, NOT mine.

What's going on here is that these disgusting libTURD cunts are trying to keep me, (or anybody else), from ever posting threads to honor and remember GREAT AMERICANS.

You see these libTURD creeps have no HONOR, they have no RESPECT, they HATE AMERICA, they HATE AMERICANS.

So they shit all over threads such as this one, and we in dealing with these VERMIN, we must descend into the muck and filth where they live.

It's kind of like wrestling with a pig, no matter what, the pig enjoys it and you WILL get dirty.

That so called "vets" act this way just shows exactly what kind of "vet" that they are.

Because IF you ever served you'd KNOW what these men PAID, and you would NEVER dishonor their memory.

Cornflake whore is base filth. She LIES with every breath. She HATES AMERICA, she HATES AMERICANS.

She is a self absorbed, spoiled, stoopid little whiney bitch.

She knows nothing of honor.

M. Doggie Dog usually kicks his own ass just by showing his brain pan is cold and dead as frozen Tundra.

Pointing out the obvious games he plays doesn't take much effort to do.

thanks for posting, my father in law arrived in Europe on D-Day + 7 with an Army Ordnance unit, he's in his early 90's and for the almost 20 years that i've known him, has never been able to talk about his arrival in Europe without breaking down over all the dead men that he saw.

Did you think I had so short a memory that I would forget your opus from eLPee and your words in it about M. Doggie Dog?

Picture Goldi removed and pissed you off into the opus zone:

Your words on MD:

"Goldi deleted it. Her comment:

REMOVED

OFFENSIVE!!

MEAN-SPIRITED AND RUDE///Goldi

MY response to her deleting the pic:

WHY?

Hit too close to home?

She's an IDIOT, and you censor that??? My, my... the truth hits too close to home for you, doesn't it?

As to "offensive," your little butt-boy, yukko the flaccid clown posts crap here all day, EVERY day... he's an offensive little shit, and you kiss his ASS.

The fact that you let yukko, mad dog and all the other morons trash your site on a daily basis, means you tacitly approve of what they do...

Bottom line is, you're a coward, goldi. You suck. Watch your traffic continue to fall, until there's nothing left but you, yukko and the rest of your little shit-heads, all preaching to each other on how GREAT Caribou Bimbo is.

Time to check out. I already registered with libertysflame.com, been there for a while. More and more people are showing up there, because, unlike YOU, "A K A STONE" is not driven by an agenda (much less your Israel-first agenda), doesn't censor anything which would promote an agenda, and is a REAL American. (But of course, you'll delete THIS post, because you find competition "offensive," don't you? Don't worry, I'll post it THERE, too, LOL.)

A list of the people who've recognized you for the defective bimbo you are, could fill up several screens... But hey, when all is said and done, you'll still have morons like yukko, mad dog, SOD (sucks on dick?), and the rest, to keep you company.

You had a good thing going, goldi... an alternative to TOS.

Now YOU are TOS.

Enjoy your echo-chamber, you fat, sloppy coward. At the end of the day, you're just another propagandist."

It didn't take much to get under your thin leftist skin, DID it? You obviously spent quite a bit of time, trying to put together something to get a reaction from me...

So here's the deal: your approval (or disapproval, for that matter) on what I say or do, is as meaningful as a fart in the wind.

As to whether MD agrees with me or not, it's also a moot point. At different points in time, I've disagreed with pretty much EVERYBODY on this forum. Such disagreements can range from debates on the finer points of a particular subject, all the way up to 100% opposition.

MD don't always agree. In fact, I'd guess it's about 50% of the time, and that's it. But as long as he isn't pushing for the destruction of the country that I love and have served, then fine, we'll disagree...

As long as he doesn't trash-talk me, then I'm ok.

But YOU, rat-boy... You're the traitor that Cicero talked about, 2000 years ago. Oh, you couch your terms to seem more intellectual than you really are (or aren't, in your case). You're another useless idiot, pushing the progressive (socialist) agenda.

I'll tell you what: you bring your sorry ass down here to L.A., and I'll drop trou, so you can kiss my pasty white ass.

Don't flatter yourself. I only had to access my memory and do a quick post search using the provided function in forum.

And your Judge, Jury and executioner act is form and function of your hyper- inflated ego is your problem, not mine.

I served nine years active, and forum years part-time in the U.S. Military.

I have worked my entire life and have a clean criminal record and have a long resume of working volunteer jobs helping my community. I am satisfied with how I comport myself, and I worry about that; not your self serving ad hom atacks of me or others.

So if you ant to live in a self destructive fantasy world in which you use a strange cognitive process along with very sketchy data about who I am and what I do in life; you are going to come up with fairy tales about who is a good citizen and who isn't.

Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. So if you want to show good character and keep your egotistical prattlering to yourself, or whine about your delusions in forum it is your choice to make, not mine.

I have a very thick political skin, and your problems come across as your problems, so I generally don't care about your or MD's trash talk.

In any event, thanks for sharing. ;-)

By the way, my nickname in my A Team my last tour was 'Spock' because of my vocabulary, which resembles too much how I 'sound' when I write.

I test high in intelligence batteries and did outstanding in any schooling I have done, but I am not interested in being thought off as smarter than anyone else.

You are very interested in making sure everyone knows how smart you perceive yourself to be. With all due respect, don't make the mistake of projecting this sort of head game onto me.

I read and write all the time. I do forum posts usually while I am online breaking from the chore of doing contract pieces which can be picked up on at least three sites on the Internet to make money. And if I wasn't already here at the computer doing other stuff, you likely would see little of me.

So don't flatter yourself. I don't come here to put on the dog for you or anyone else.
