Is that what you were talking about?

Yep. A part of it.

 

Indeed. Maastricht was also one of the first places.

 

But it was all about Eben Emael.

World War II started for us on january 10, 1940.

 

 

 

May 14. The Rotterdam Blitz.

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly at his moment, Dutch Commander General Winkelman signs the surrender of armed forces in the Netherlands.

My area is German now.

Big fights in Liege and Gembloux.

Even with help from France and the UK; the morale and resistance crumble.

 

Churchill flies to Paris to assess the situation.

'Where is the strategic reserve?', he asks.

'There is none', replies the French Commander-in-Chief General Gamelin.

'Aucune!'

 

The temperature on thursday may 16, 1940 is about 11°C.

Really interesting. I am a History student after all!

Always welcome in Genk, Rich!

 

 

Saturday, may 18, 1940.

Don't know what happened that day.

But I think that my grandmother has prayed a lot.

Blimey!!   A man of few words!

 

St Margaret of Scotland was Queen of Scotland, married to Malcolm Canmore.(Malcolm 111)

Yep. I know.

 

And there's a beautiful statue in Lourdes.

 

 

 

'When we dream alone

it remains a dream,

when we dream together

it becomes reality.'

Yep. I know.

Except when it turns into a nightmare!

Do you have nightmares, Moi?

Do you have nightmares, Moi?

 

 

Indeed I do!

Spicy foods?

No, nothing to do with food.  To do with ancient anxieties that won;t go away.

I see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you sleep on your stomach?

Sleep position affects your sleep quality, you know?

I toss and turn all night long.  I find sleep very difficult - can't switch my brain off, so have to listen to talking books to keep my brain focused on something that will help me drift off.
