Just a shame it wasn't really worth it, my grandad will be spinning in his grave if he could see the shit hole of a country dictated to by errrrrrr the Germans!

Shit hole of a country dictated by the Germans, that not the way I see my country, do you live in a town called Krautsville Shithole?

Don't want this thread taken over by current politics by the way, this is abt remembering those who sacrificed. Not pushing agendas. Thankyou. K

Neither blind or stupid, I just don’t see my country as a shithole or run by the Germans, we haven’t been successfully invaded since 1066 due to these brave souls.

Seeing as you have liked the thread before yours, please respect it and take the usual political shit storm elsewhere on the forum. Thank you.

I'll be remembering my maternal grandfather, Claude Francis Alvis(Frank), who saw the morning of D-Day from his place aboard HMS Speedwell, a minesweeper clearing the channels off the beaches. I never got to hear his story as I was only 1 when he passed but my Mum can remember him speaking about seeing bodies floating past his ship.
