Review by Maggie on show 15th July 2010
THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC COVERAGE OF THE ORDINARY HEROES OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
IT STARTS WITH THE FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS OF REACTION THE CHAMBERLAIN'S DECLARATION OF WAR IN 1939, TO THE SAILOR'S OF THE LITTLE SHIPS OF DUNKIRK TO GERMAN SOLDIERS PREPARING FOR OPERATION 'SEALION'.
WE HEAR FIRST HAND HORRORS OF THE BLITZ TO BATTLES IN NORTH AFRICA THE JUNGLE WAR IN BURMA AND THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY.
SOME QUOTES:
'WE NOW ONLY HAD OUR RIFLES, ONE OR TWO ANTI TANK GUN RIFLES AND BREN GUNS TO FACE THE ENEMY WITH'.
'A BLACK DAY WE NEED ALL OUR PRAYERS WE MUST WIN, I COULD NOT LIVE THE LIFE OF A SLAVE I WOULD RATHER DIE'
WELL WORTH READING AS WE ARE INVOLVED IN YET ANOTHER CONFLICT. IT MAKES A SOBER REALITY CHECK
