I really don't know.

# Let's remember Pearl Harbor

# We will always remember

(COMMENTATOR)

On the 6th of June, 1944,

the great secret is divulged: D-Day,

Aboard a British warship

with Admiral Ramsay,

General Eisenhower keeps his finger

on the pulse of battle

by personal observation

and is joined by General Montgomery

for consultations

on the progress of our landing,

This is it, They're on the beach,

plunging waist deep into the sea,

These pictures take you among men

who are putting Dunkirk into reverse,

planting themselves

on the first bit of French soil

to be won back after four years,

The G,I, Joes, the Tommies

and Johnny Canucks

press on with "Now let's get at 'em!"

(BLASTS IN DISTANCE)

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Excuse me.

Parlez-vous anglais?

Yes, I do.

Can I help you?

Yes, ma'am.

We're coming in tomorrow

or the day after.

We might wanna use this house

for a field headquarters.

I'm supposed to check it.

Oh, I see.

Yes, of course.

I'm afraid

it's not in very good condition.

Neither is anything else around here.

Soldiers in the house.

- You'll get paid, sooner or later.

- Yes, I understand.

- You speak good English.

- Thank you.

I'll show you the house.

Adjutant's office.

Must be pretty nice

when you get it all fixed up.

My husband and l,

we used to come here

when Paris got too much for us.

And in the summers, of course.

It's lovely here in the summer.

(CRAIG) What are you

doing here now?

No one's supposed to be here now.

This town was evacuated a week ago.

When we heard

there'd be fighting here,

I thought I might have time to get

some paintings and personal things

that were very precious to us.

but I suppose it was stupid of me.

I came just too late

and I couldn't get away in time.

- You were here during the bombing?

- Yes.

- Alone?

- Yes.

- Weren't you scared?

- I was petrified.

I've never been so frightened

in all my life.

Last night was the worst of all.

but you want to see

the rest of the house.

Yes, ma'am.

- You came back to get stuff like this?

- Yes.

Our officers are nice fellas.

I...I mean, they'll be careful.

Some are stupid idiots,

but these ones are okay.

I really don't care.

I shall never return here anyway.

That's the dining room,

but I imagine your first concern

is the sleeping accommodations.

This way, please.

Where were you during the bombing?

In the cellar.

A cellar. That's good.

We'll be able to stick

your furniture down there.

- Were you down there all the time?

- Yes, all the time.

- Did you have any food?

- At first.

but I was too greedy to make it last
