FRANCE, AUTUMN OF 1944

October 12 to 14 this year.

A small story from the past weekend.

Autumn of 1944 somewhere in France. There was some British troopes that

blew away from their own forces in a air landing operation behind enemy lines.

It was men from the units 21st IPC that would mark the ground for a

major operation.

After they had orientate themselves, they came in contact with the local people.

They informed that there were German troops in the area and they had American

prisoners amongst them and that there was local resistance movement.

While the British were informed by the locals, they heard aircraft in the air and that

they attacked the German units on the ground from the air.

At this time when the Germans were attacked from the air, The Americans took

the opportunity to escape. The men belonged to the U.S. 2nd armor and was

part of the great operation that had been launched. They had been told before the

operation started that it would be a airdropp and if someone would get lost they

should go to the designated areas and to try to rendezvous whit the British units.

Strike of luck did  the Americans rendezvous white British unit and consolidate

there options. They agreed that the best thing was to try to get in contact with

local resistance movement. On the way to try to find the LRM the got

detected by the LRM. The LRM were on their way to sabotage a radio station

and needed backup, followed the British and Americans the LRM and

supported them in there mission.
