#DDAY75 - So many stories to tell and share, including actor Charles Durning's, but one in particular that connects-the-dots: Four generations of one family remember Great Britain's D-Day heroes






I've been watching Sky News since late last night, early this morning in France, so wanted to share just some of what I've seen and been thinking about all day on this very important day.

Co-stars John Banner, i.e Sgt. Schultz from CBS-TV's "Hogan's Heroes" as yes, a German sergeant, but one with a conscience.

I've seen this film at least three to four times already, and there's always a few interesting things I notice for the first time with each viewing that shows the enormous attention to detail made in concocting the elaborate charade.
