D-Day Continued: Overcoming Through Death
Today, we’re going to explore how the greatest act of apparent defeat in human history was the most decisive and strategic victory ever won. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the fear that you are not ready for the battle of Armageddon, this episode is for you.
It began not with a bang but with a rumour. Scattered reports about paratroopers dropping from the sky like ghosts in the Normandy countryside. But these were dismissed. A diversion, surely.
Everyone on their side knew the enemy would come through the shortest route from England. That’s where the big guns were pointed. Their intelligence was certain.
They had watched the enemy gather massive forces across the channel. They were prepared. They had built a wall of concrete and steel to repel any attack. From their bunkers, the commanders felt safe.
Then came the dawn. As the morning mist began to lift off the coast of Normandy, the men on watch peered through their binoculars.
The sea was black with ships stretching to the horizon. It wasn't a raid. It wasn't a diversion. It was everything, all at once, aimed at the one place they were least prepared. The phantom paratroopers were real. The intelligence was a lie.
