9th Armored Division technician Alvin Harley with a little French girl on Valentine’s Day, 1945.
Et elementært bevægende billede. Kommer du forbi Bastogne, overnat på et hotel på torvet, få blå-muslinger i hvidvin og Charleroi-kvæg. Torvet hedder naturligvis Place McAuliffe efter Anthony ‘Nuts’ McAuliffe. Der står en velbevaret Sherman tank, du kan ikke tage fejl af det. I baggrunden på fotografiet er mit hotel Collin, der desværre ikke findes mere. Jeg var der sidst i 2009, ser jeg. Ondskaben findes, og godheden.
Douglas Murray: Europe signs its own death warrant
I The Sunday Times, log in. Nogle pluk:
Europe is committing suicide. Or at least its leaders have decided to commit suicide. Whether the European people choose to go along with this is, naturally, another matter. When I say that Europe is in the process of killing itself, I do not mean that the burden of European Commission regulation has become overbearing or that the European Convention on Human Rights has not done enough to satisfy the demands of a particular community.
