| German troops entered Paris 6/14/194 |
The Battle of France lasted for a bit over one month. Hitler invaded France on May 10, 1940 and the German troops entered Paris—the “Open City”—on June 14. You may or may not know it that there were more French troops than German troops facing each other when the war came in 1939 and yet French went under in no time and the England stood alone for one year and half until the Americans came.

| King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and Churchill inspected the bomb damage to a chapel |
Having a king and a queen stayed around during the Blitz and
the six years of war is worth one million people, troops or civilians. The above photo is taken from the book we bought at
Buckingham Palace showing King George VI and his queen and Churchill inspecting
the bomb damage to a chapel.
“God Save the King” is not an empty slogan; the king is the
gravity that pull the nation together under the Nazi’s might. This is my observation; not everyone will buy
it, though.
The Giants is leading 3 to 2 at the top of 6th inning as I am writing. We had a Royal Day Out on September 22; I am
hoping it will not be Royals Out tonight.
Go! Royals, Go!
