Overlord

[Cole]

"History is standing astride these rolling Norman fields and resolving its own direction for perhaps a thousand years to come,...We mortals who sit below can only be awed by its mighty presence. But if I cannot write world history in its perspective, perhaps I can write a personal version of Canadian history as it was unfolded before my eyes during these last flaming days, because between the little seaside town of Bernieres-sur-mer and the Caen battle front, Canadian troops have written an immortal story."
---Lionel Shapiro---
57 years ago today British, Canadian and American soldiers landed at Normandy and began the liberation of Europe.
