This Sunday 6th June is the 60th Anniversary of D-Day, when the allied troops left Portsmouth and other British harbours determined to liberate Europe from the Nazi's tyranny. I feel a deep admiration for the photographer who took the above photo : Robert Capa. He must have been scared to death but he was there just as the soldiers were. Just as he had been with the soldiers and risking his life as well when he stood by the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. You can see all the photos Capa took in Normandy : here and then click on the black & white photo on the right side of the screen.


Este domingo 6 de Junio es el 60 aniversario del D-Day, Desembarco de Normandia, cuando las tropas aliadas partieron de Portsmouth y otros puertos britanicos con la determinacion de liberar Europa de la tirania nazi. Siento una gran admiracion por el fotografo que tomo la foto de arriba : Robert Capa. Debia estar muerto de miedo pero estaba alli y el pulso no le temblo, al igual que los soldados. Igual que habia estado al lado de los soldados del ejercito de la Republica, arriesgando su vida, durante la Guerra Civil Espaniola. Podeis ver todas las fotos que Capa tomo en Normandia : aqui , haciendo click en la foto en blanco y negro a la derecha de la pagina.
