If you win gloriously, those who were not there will never understand and rhe next generation will just be bored by the old war tales..I was listening to Jean Jacques Galabru as he tried to tell of his days in the French Underground, working with Francsois Mitterand :(more or less) in opposing their Nazi invaders. His daughters kept interrupting because he was just an old man.I saw in his eyes tales crying out to be shared.Crying out in vain.We owe him and millions more a debt we can’t begin to understand. Not because they had no choice to risk all for freedom, but because they did.
