The 5rd June, more than 200 veterans participated in the invasion of Normandy and the World War II come to portsmouth. The British military helicopters, armored vehicles and the British Royal Air Force "red arrow" aerobatic team ,they brought wonderful shows for veterans and audience.



The 92 year old veteran Victor Tari 70 years ago to participate in the invasion of normandy. He moved need Walker, spoke very difficult. Victor still clearly remember 10 feet high beach seawall in Normandy, the bullet from the Nazi army.shaved hair French girl and debris scattered in the streets of Paris, but he can't remember many comrades hurted and losses in the war.


The 89 year old veteran Robert Piper recalled, at that time, only know that they sit on a ship of USA, where to go, what to do aren't know. Robert said: "people need more tolerance, loss of tolerance can easily lead to war. No matter which country you come from, what religion, we can all live together."


Robert said: "schools should be required to teach the history of this period, the young people should also to France, to the soldiers of the cemetery, touch tombstone by hand, feel under the tombstone sleeping eighteen to nineteen years old adolesent, so they can learn not to kill each other."

These figures for the allied losses in Normandy are low. Likely because they don't include the number of allied airmen that were killed for the Normandy campaign. " providing ground attack support, and destroying German infrastructure both before and during the Normandy campaign. They made up a significant amount of the losses much >> 10,000 dead.
