D-Day

Blackfive presents a fairly comprehensive list of Milbloggers' tributes to D-Day.

Of particular interest - this piece about the Scottish involvement in D-Day - which BBC Scotland, perhaps even more blinkeredly liberal than its English corporate cousin, has not deemed fit to over.

There's another group to which I'd love to pay tribute; the men of the Norwegian Navy in Exile, especially that destroyer HMNoS Svenner, which was sunk at D-Day by a U-Boat while screening the beaches, killing much of a crew that had already had a long war; nearly all of the men had escaped from occupied Norway since 1940, served on various cast-off ships from the US and British navies, serving on convoy patrols and hunts for surface raiders.

I say I'd love to pay tribute to them - but very little information is available on the web. Maybe I'll have to work on that...
