Bush apparently didn't know what a bar scanner was.... still disputed... but went a long way towards losing him the 1992 election.

This is a photo of the statement General Eisenhower wrote in case D-Day failed. It was called "In Caseo f Failure". It was never needed.

Ensign Nimitz



Admiral Nimitz

Little known fact is that Chester Nimitz originally applied to West Point and was denied admission. I wonder how different the world would've been if that would have gone the other way?

hookem233: Those are rare photos. The army had a bunch of correspondents that were embedded with the troops. They took lots of film of D-day as it happened. Unfortunately, it was all collected together and a LST was to take it back out to the flagship. The LST was swamped and overturned and it was all lost. A calamity. We wouldn't have needed Spielberg's movie if we had all of that.
