Absolutely not offended guys!
Re: Iconic Normandy photo's Robert Capa's Then and Now.
Yes,without turning this into some 'derailed' thread Paul...I DO know what it's like to lose family going over there to bail them out. Mine was NOT a sorry statement. Go visit the cemeteries. You have lots of debate about what is indeed sorry. Ron
Re: Iconic Normandy photo's Robert Capa's Then and Now.
Actually i've been visiting Normandy and the cemeteries there nearly every year for nearly 20 years together with many other Battlefields and cemeteries across Western Europe both First and Second World war as a result of my families involvement in both wars so i don't need to be told to Go visit the cemeteries , i have !!

Re: Iconic Normandy photo's Robert Capa's Then and Now.
What exactly is the problem here? Is someone who lives in a former harshly occupied country supposed to feel sympathy for one of the soldiers who had Done the harsh occupying being taken prisoner?? What sense is there in that? Why is there even a debate on this? This is ridiculous.
