It's the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion of France. Original combat footage here. Note that the soldiers inside a landing craft just before and during the dropping of the ramp are Canadians.
German victory propaganda here. At about 8:30 note the Canadian prisoners of war from the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and the Canadian Airborne. The sub-titles state they were taken to internment camps. You have to wonder what became of them.
Elderly Canadian veterans recount their personal D-Day experiences in this recent video from Veterans Affairs Canada:
"You can never go to bed at night before thinking about the guys who died. They are the ones that saved my life. They are the ones who won the war. Not me. "

- VOKL - Voice Of Ken Lawton
- VOKL is my self-assigned nom-de-blog in the format of a Newfoundland radio call sign. It gives me a name for my voice. And when you say it out loud it's vocal. See? VOKL. This may also reveal a subconcious desire to punnish my readers. I hope you understand. Anyway it's my blog. Start your own blog.
