One of the best D-Day interviews I have seen. The Generals mind is still sharp as a razor.

This was the best narrative I have ever seen by a participant in the war. It is hard to believe that this man is so sharp at his age. We are fortunate to get this first hand narrative.

General Raaen somehow reminds me of my grandfather, Colonel Arthur LaSalle Smith, who served in both World Wars. What a wonderful storyteller!

Wow! My niece is stationed in Germany and she with her husband took us to Bastion, Versailles, Omaha beach, Point de Hoc and Utah beach last April. We were there in the places he talks about! It’s so easy to visualize and see what they experienced.<br>We also took the Band of Brothers tour, amazing!
