Juin
5 & 6, 2009. At the battery of Merville, British veterans
who have operated in 1944 under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Otway meet over two days to commemorate their actions that took
place 65 years earlier. On June 5,
2009 a German military delegation represented
by Colonel Duhr, military attaché at the German embassy in
France and the military music of the region Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
were invited to take part in the ceremonies. The veterans have paraded
following the rhythm of Wagner's
"Valkyries" which was the historical parade music of their
battalion. |
