I’ve a girlfriend of German heritage whose father was just one of so many conscripted kids, not Nazis, but cannon fodder.

As a vet from the 70s, I did the same tour of Normandy in the 80s, out of respect. The trip was a pilgrimage to pay respect to my father's brothers and sisters who lived and died there and in the Pacific. I took all the same photos, just about, but mine were on celluloid and now lost, so thx for the walk down memory lane. I was particularly interested in the bridges, as when I was in, that's what I did, erected Tinkertoy bridges for heavy tanks to cross. I just wish the dream that the bridge would lead to peace in Europe had not crashed and burned so badly in 2014/2022.
