Vets Kid

Last week, Gary Sterne took some time explaining how he found the site and what his search for answers revealed.  I think most of his technical detail about the disparity of gun sizes at Pointe du Hoc and his curiousity over why the Battery was buried in the first place, likely went unappreciated by our group from Canada.  It did hit home with me.  It made sense that this emplacement was one of the major destructive forces that held Omaha Beach hostage for too long.   I meet with a Canadian war historian next week and will pass along Gary's findings.  I was amazed that the local tourist bureau had no information on Maisy Battery and were positive in their denial both of its existance as well as its significance.   I think I'm hooked on this mystery.      Vets Kid, Canada.  Nov. 11, 2007
