We should never forget…..
but apparently we are doing!!!
In amongst all the recent publicity, TV programmes and Commemoration Events it has come out that 50% of 16-24 in UK had little or no idea what D-Day was and why it was important. Even with all that is going on in the media they may still not know, as they get their news from “Socials” and the algorithms will probably not point them in the direction of D-Day information.
KDLHS Preserve and Share in order that people can learn from history. So if you see this can you please explain to your young adults and make them understand.
D-Day is not a story. It is not an old film. It is not a Xbox game.
It was real. It happened. Over 100,000, mostly under 24, people no longer existed after the Normandy Landings and that was only on the Allies side.
Without D-Day and the Normandy Landings the UK would, almost certainly, be under Nazi control today with all that it would have entailed. Get them to think of the effect this would have on their lives today.
D-Day was the start of stopping the horror, (the same horror that is going on today in some countries), in France, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Greece, Spain, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Albania – To name but a few. Full list on:

and the UK was meant to be next…..
