| Just let me say this......No one can imagine what Falaise was like.. it was beyond imagination, That is unless you can visualise roads covered with dead from each side of the road, not only covered, but heaped up where the panic stricken enemy had tried to clamber over their dead mates.
I have witness sights there that seem impossible now 62/3 years on.
The stench of death and decaying bodies? remain with all the Vets, Always.
One thing is gratifying about it. The No 2 Das Reich SS Panzer div was caught up in the carnage.
But no fate could be as bad as they deserved, remembering what they did at Orador sur glan.....
One can only hope that those that died in the pocket, will have to listen to the screams of the women and little children that they burned alive in the Church at Orador. I pray they have to listen to those sounds for all eternity.
