D-Day Landings: My Grandfather Landed in the First-Wave on Normandy Today – 81-Years Ago! (6.6.2025)

His best friend was shot in the head and his body kept on running for a few feet before finally collapsing. The German soldier was aiming at my grandfather – before his friend ran in front of him – as part of the advance. My grandfather fought against fascism – but today the UK is over-run with home-grown fascists, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists – as the government tells us to support Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel. Out of respect for the memory of my brave grandfather – I refuse to do neither. This is how I choose to use the freedom my grandfather earned for me on D-Day!

Veteran Star Medal: Alfred Gregory Wyles – WWII British Army Service [1940-1946]! (4.11.2023)

Although he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment – famous for its ‘Last Stand’ at Dunkirk – due to his ‘sharp-shooting’ ability he was soon transferred to the 1st Buckinghamshire Battalion (the ‘Light Bobs’) of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (Territorial Army) where he was placed in an Anti-Tank Platoon. During D-Day, the ‘Light Bobs’ landed in the first-waves of Allied troops that hit ‘Sword Beach’. His Unit was tasked with fighting their way in-land ten-miles to Caen – where it was to relieve D Company of the Ox & Bucks Ligyt Infantry (Professional) – which had landed as ‘Glider Troops’ around midnight of June 6th, 1944. Due to these required military objectives – my grandfather trained with the Glider Troops around the Exeter Canal System – which resembled the canal system around Caen. Indeed, this association has sometimes ‘confused’ exactly what function my grandfather fulfilled due to him possessing a ‘Winged Pegasus’ badge!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Dam-Busters Choose ‘June 6th’ to Flood Lost Kherson Area! (17.6.2023)

This seems to be a half-arsed attempt by the Americans to emulate the British WWII Special Forces Raid (‘Operation Chastise’) which involved the so-called ‘Bouncing Bomb’ (skilfully used by the British Royal Airforce – or ‘RAF’) – to destroy two Nazi German dams (on May 16/17, 1943) situated in the Ruhr Valley! As usual, US anti-intellectualism has got history back-to-front and all wrong! During WWII in was the ‘anti-fascists’ (the ‘British’) which destroyed the dam(s) involved – whilst in the contemporary ‘American’ performance – it was the ‘fascists’ (the ‘Ukrainians’) which carried-out not a well-conceived ‘Special Forces’ Raid – but rather a plain old ‘terrorist’ attack designed to check the advance of the successful Russian Forces! Of course, in this back-to-front world – the anti-intellectual forces of the West immediately came to the aid of the dithering US and declared its actions to be a) ‘Russian’, and b) a ‘War Crime’! Perhaps the average Russian will finally realise that the betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – and the Revolution in 1991 – simply were not worth the effort! Very much business as usual!

Normandy: Remembering the Allied Sacrifices of D-Day (6.6.1944) – 79th Anniversary! (6.6.2023)

The British Glider Troops were tasked with seizing local landmarks (such as ‘Pegasus Bridge’) of tactical and strategic importance from the local Nazi German defenders – and hold these assets in the face of the expected Nazi German counter-attack. Meanwhile, Arthur Gibson (as a member of the Royal Navy) was busy protecting Northern Britain by preventing a Nazi German invasion – whilst keeping the sea lanes free of Nazi German ‘mines’ so that Allied Shipping could move (free of this risk) throughout the North Atlantic. This included the assisting of the Russian (Soviet) Arctic Convoys – although the presence of Nazi German U-Boats was an ever-present threat!
