This Morning Veterans Remove Barricades and Deliver Them To The White House For "Presidential Inspection".


************************************************

For the Canadian airborne battalion the objective was the downstream bridge over the Dives. By 0200 Sgt. John Kemp had his squad gathered but did not know where he was. His mission was to provide protection for a team of sappers who were to blow Robehomme Bridge.
Of all thins, in the dark of the nightm Kemp heard a bicycle bell ringing. The rider turned out to be a French girl who had probably been out cutting telephone wires, as was being done all over Normandy (the BBC had hours earlier broadcast two code phrases to the French Resistance that was a sign the invasion was beginning), adding to the German communication woes. French-speaking Canadians talked to her; she agreed to lead them to the bridge they wanted; off they set. But she led them to a German headquarters and demanded hat they assault it. Kemp refused; his job was to blow the bridge (to prevent German Panzer divisions from counter-attacking the landing), not rouse the Germans. Reluctantly she led on. When they arrived at Robehomme Bridge, Kemp checked and foudn the bridge unguarded. He posted sentries at each end and sat to wait for sappers to come up with explosives.
The girl was indignant, "Are you going to do nothing?" she asked. She had taken great risks bringing them here. "Are you going to just sit there?"
Fortunately, the sappers came up, the bridge was blown, and the girl was satisfied.
