From Life Magazine, "70 Years Later: D-Day."
I went out and bought the only one of those magazines you find quite often in the stands regarding this momentous event. I was surprised that there was just the one, figuring there would be a lot of them. Plus, i was not happy that it cost $13.99 instead of the usual $9.99.
Good magazine though.
"Overlord: The Drumbeat to D-Day: Much was secret as the theoretical Operation Overlord was assembled in flesh-and-blood terms in England. But this military enterprise was so big-- the biggest ever in history-- that everyone from little kids to Hitler knew something was brewing."

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
