Yes, I thought that too.

On a note of humour...  I only heard this today that a soldier Bob Millins, on leaving the landing craft walked up and down the beach playing his bag pipes. And they say the Germans did not shoot him because they thought he was stark raving mad. Well... its hardly surprising they thought that with hundreds being shot dead all around him. And yet he walked up and down and played on. Bless him.

Just goes to show you that the Germans soldiers had hearts too. Oh, he survived, and was awarded a medal. What a wonderful man.  He has died from a stroke at 88.   R.I.P Bob.
