Hello Again!
Back to the D-Day fighting area by LEONARD MOSLEY
No
nonsense
HEN you remember how
only too easy it was to get over from England
in the war days (if you were wearing a uniform, that is), peacetime travel to the Nor- mandy beaches is something of a pain in the neck.
Back in 1944 there were no complications. You could do one of two simple things-step in J11 airplane with a parachute tied to your back, fly south for an hour, and then jump out; or walk aboard any one of the tank- landing craft on the beaches around Southampton, lie snug and rosy until the bombs, shells and bullets began to explode around you, and wade ashore.
It is true that sometimes you did not make your destination, but you were never bored en route.
Nowadays, with Normandy no longer a place where the best people go, none of the experts in Continental travel seem to want to get you there.
