The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Everyone Knew Something Was Brewing

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."
