Trump's appearance in Normandy is particularly galling Considering what he stands for, his avarice, his cowardice, his penchant for cheap populism, his ill treatment of our fellow Allied nations and NATO compatriots and mostly his warm spot for racially tinged authoritarianism makes his involvement in such somber and sobering events just infuriating. I can't think of another GOP POTUS in my lifetime who is more ill-suited for something like this. Even Nixon.

5. That is what my late Husband would be doing.
He went in on the second wave, wounded when a man in front of him stepped on a landmine, second man wounded badly. He was third, spent time in the Hospital.
We listened to the Chaplain who was with them all the way into Germany. We watched over 200 men cry as the Chaplain described their march.
A life long Democrat he would despise this pretender.

14. Nixon actually colluded with North Vietnamese
He helped sabotage Johnson's peace efforts in 1968. Helped Nixon get elected.

He did not write the speech and doesn't believe a word of what he said. Disgusting that some are saying this one speech has changed him into a real human being. Dream on!!!!!

31. He's standing on the wrong side. He's a fan of fascism and Nazis
This American fevered nightmare has got to end.

No, that would be you liberals. You have much more in common with the fascists like eliminating free speech, eliminating opposition, total control of a populations thoughts and actions, science controlled by ideology and schools who teach your ideology to the exclusion of all others.

This primitive must be older than California Peggy, having had a husband who was in D-Day.....75 years ago.

You know how they love to do anything BUT work for money. He might have had some money and she married him while she was much younger.

My father, not involved with D-Day he was in the Pacific theater in the navy, would take your shit ass self and beat the **** out of you in the parking lot. I watched him do it to several men. I'm pretty sure he would have killed you with his bare hands and then gone into a bar and had a couple of drinks. His friends would have slapped on the back and toasted him beating the shit out of any DUchebag shitstain.

I'd like to ask TrueBlueAmerican what kind of division her husband served in. Infantry? Panzer Grenadiers? Panzers? Waffen SS?

As Dutch observed, keep in mind the rabid hatred that the DUmmies and the Left in general usually show towards the US military.
I'll never forget one post a few years ago: In one of many threads they made dedicated to dumping on the film 'American Sniper,' a DUmmy referred to our veterans as "Monsters," referred to their tours of duty as a "professional orgy of violence and murder," and implied that such people had no place in our neighborhoods.

I know. Both of my grandfathers, resting in peace now, were in the Pacific theaters as well (One worked in Pearl Harbor after the bombing as a jet mechanic, the other put his skills as a doctor to good use aiding in the postwar recovery process in Nagasaki; The latter had a really cool story about a time when he and a couple of his buddies helped to alleviate boredom and depression among the Nagasaki locals by teaching them how to square- dance), and they would have done the same to him.
There was also an old buddy of mine from church, a big old bear of a man with a great heart, who for as long as he was physically able was kind of in charge of the church's ushers. I knew he was a WWII vet, but it wasn't until his funeral that I learned he was a D- Day vet. He was just a humble enough guy that he didn't brag about that fact. He too would probably have done the same to that repulsive DUmmy.

Just goes to show you, age ≠ wisdom necessarily.
Especially at the DUmp.

Einsatzgruppen would be my guess.

IIRC the units actually actually defending the beaches were mainly Volksgrenadier regiments and Russian volunteers serving under German officers. So, probably nothing that high-end.

Most of the Germans' brightest and baddest were on the Eastern Front. There were some Panzer divisions in Normandy, but because of uncertainty where the landing would be, they were kept well back so they could go where needed (something allied air forces hindered in the event).
