Re: Old D Day Soldiers.....
That will be a sight Gil.
One of my best mates here Boston Irish American bloke, jumped into Normandy with the One Oh Worst from a Dakota at 19. Said Overlord was a bastard because they got scattered to fook all over Normandy. Took them almost a week to regroup. He also told me with no prompting that if Pegasus Bridge had not been taken by the "Limeys" Overlord would probably have failed because if the Panzer's had got over the Orne to the beaches the German Plan of repulsion would have worked because the Yanks and British had no answer for them in the way of Armour
He went all the way in to almost overlapping the the Russian front lines towards Slovakia. Did not like the Russians. Did not like what they were still doing to the German and Polish women three months after the fighting stopped. Said they were fookin animals. When I pointed it out to him that the Russkies had lost 20 000 000 and 5000 villages at the hands of the Krauts, he didnt care. Dead now. Heart gave out. RIP Jim Harrington....When ever I see a Dakota I always think about him.
Anyway back to Dakotas. Iconic mate.... get lots of pics and Vids Gil .
