After we left the fair we went up the the Resistance camp, I can't remember how to spell it but it sounds like Maquee de Pecosell..I will look it up and let you know..it is so interesting..absolute silence except for the sound of the aircraft that was pulling the gliders up today..after he unhooked it was silent..It is amazing to stand there where the original shepards hut was, where the young men met to plan the next step of their resistance to the Germans..It is even more so to look at the faces of the young men, ful of spit and vinegar, thinking that they could change the world, and willing to put their lives on the line to do so. Unfortunately they did not have the support that was needed and the struggle was difficult.
the tin in the middle has a spiral notebook, it is for people who visit to sign in.. I wrote in the book today that my Dad was there in Normandy , a young man doing what they did in those days...the two tins on the side of it have bullet casings that were evidently found at the site when they rebuilt, they are all melted, the Germans bombed the site when they took over the area...
This is a cool place to visit and Iwill take you there when you come..I think you all will enjoy seeing it..
More later...
