John Clayton: Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah

Pegasus Bridge at present and cafe
Did YOU see "The Longest Day?"
Anyone who has seen this classic movie will recall that wonderful sequence where 3 British gliders land right next to Benouville Bridge (it's real name) in the midnight hours of D-Day. It was vital to capture the bridge intact which British paratrooper did under the command of Maj. John Howard, played in the movie by British actor Richard Todd - who was also the in the actual invasion, and was the first British paratrooper to jump into the fray on June 6th, 1944. Due to the heroic efforts of these Brits, the bridge was renamed for the emblem of the UK's paras - Pegasus. It's all still there, just as it was in the movie!.

Pointe Du Hoc and French school children
Making sure they'll never forget!
What's so unusual in this photo? Nothing really, except that most of the people are French school children viewing the Pointe Du Hoc area of Normandy. THAT'S unique because, so our group of travel media were told, all school kids in Normandy are required to visit the marvelous Peace Museum in Caen that describes what the British, Canadian and US military did in liberating France in WW2. Fields trips to many of the key, major battlefields (such as the Moonscape, shell and bomb pocked contours of Pointe Du Hoc) are a key part of that "information process."

Sword, Juno, Gold,
Omaha and Utah
The 5 Most Intriguing Names in French History
Words and Photos by John Clayton

hen you hear or see the name "Normandy," what thoughts - or visual images - leap into your mind? Even though I've been to this extraordinary piece of French real estate three times, I'd go there again in a nano second because there is so much to see and do that's spectacular. Every time I do go there, there's one fact that's harder and harder to "see" as reality. When you gaze at the now peaceful countryside, and look around at the surrounding areas of the five main invasion beaches in the title of this article, and as your eyes take in all the vibrant greenery, flowers and mini sort of forests (especially those by the large American cemetery by Omaha beach) it's almost impossible to visualize the ravages of war that took place here on June 6th, 1944. The contrast between the peace, beauty and serenity of today, is beyond the human experience to relate to what took place here all those many years ago.

D-Day photo memorabilia at Normandy hotel
Proud to show their friendship!
One of the wonderful aspects of staying in some of the great B&B's and hotels near the beaches, is that many are very proud to show their direct connection to D-Day - and have "photo memorabilia" of US, British and Canadian servicemen who fought in the battle, and then returned to visit - and who are proudly displayed in the various lobbies and hallways of said establishments.

German war cemetery in Normandy
Yes, a German one too!
One of the many "sobering sights" in Normandy is the profusion of cemeteries that are stark reminders of the price paid for war. Nowhere is that more evident than the huge German cemetery of La Cambe. The large, somber, black stone crosses are in vivid contrast to the all white, marble looking crosses in allied cemeteries. La Cambe is the burial ground for 21,222 German soldiers, including the famous tank Ace Michael Wittman. There is also a very interesting Information center.

US military cemetery in Normandy
Silent Tribute
I've visited many US military cemeteries around the world, and one of the most memorable is the 172 acre one in Normandy in Colleville-sur-Mer. Elegant in its simplicity, grand in design, and yes, stunning in its beauty, it is a fine tribute to our service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in WW2 - 9,387 of whom, are buried here. It is fitting that it's located on a bluff over looking Omaha Beach (to the left in this photo) - a place that suffered more US casualties than anywhere in Normandy that day. It is a Must See place to visit if you're in this part of France.

Each time I go there, but especially when I go to Omaha Beach, my vivid imagination takes me back to June 6th, 1944 when the Allies began the invasion that liberated Europe from the Nazi yoke. I close my eyes and hear the thunderous explosions, the constant rattatat of bullets whizzing every which way, the mind numbing sound of machine gun fire, the whistling sound of huge shells that, when they hit the ground, meant death rendering clouds of dust and shell fragments that flew in every direction. This was, quite simply, battle at it most ferocious and destruction that was - seemingly - everywhere. The reality of it all stuns the senses - especially when the realization hits home that it was fact and not fiction.

May is always the month each year in which we (in the USA) pay tribute to our military, and the sacrifices they've made in the name of freedom, and every June 6th (that epic day in 1944 and world history) is celebrated both here in America and in Normandy. To recognize that sacrifice, and take note yet again of a human attribute called Courage, it seemed appropriate to me to salute all this with these words and photos. If you've never been to Normandy, I urge you - in the strongest way possible - to make definite plans to go there on your next vacation. For a wide variety of intriguing information, click on Google and type in "Normandy, France," and be sure to also check out the French Tourist Office website at www.franceguide.com.

D-Day re-enactors, June 6, 2004
Recreating "How It Was."
When I was invited by the French Government to attend the 60th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6th, 2004, this was one of the most surreal, and unusual sights I saw. Yes, they're the US military but, as I approached them I heard loud British accents!!! I could not believe what I was hearing, but it turned out that they were a large group of British "Re-Enactors" who loved dressing up in US military uniforms of that era - and so when the French government learned of their existence, they were invited to bring all of their trucks (some seen in the background) and their masses of D-Day outfits and memorabilia to Normandy.

(The letter below was sent in response by a reader to the article A Most Unusual Tourist Attraction)

Did you ever serve in the army? Were you in a combat zone? This affinity/hobby of war for the sake of the competitive and challenge is beyond me. I served 3 years (mandatory) in the Israeli army and was only involved in it while I had to be there (even that seems like too much). This article is inspiring to me because of the answer of the cemetery official and the figures of dead on both sides. I can not understand saluting to a person who did his best to kill as many people as possible. If you live out of fear or brainwash you will never stop killing and harming. Does that deserve a salutation or pity?

On Behalf Of Etan, USA

Etan, Greetings:

Many thanks for your thoughtful email with regard to my Traveling Boy story about my visit to the German cemetery in Normandy. To answer your first question, yes I did serve in the Army although NOT in combat. I‘ve been in this great country, the USA, for 48 years and was born in London, so when I was 18 I had to spend time in the Army doing (what was then called) National Service. I was in North Africa and Malta. Although I wished I’d been in combat, I never was. As a travel journalist I was, obviously, very happy that you found what I wrote inspiring, based on the comments of the French manager of the cemetery, and of the tragedy of how many young lives were lost on all sides due to that dreadful conflict.

He, the old, guy, was a fascinating individual, and I really enjoyed chatting to him. I’ve always had a (and let’s call it what it is) fascination with war, and the military, and have watched (almost!) every show on the Military channel, the History Channel and the Discovery Channel, countless times. I’ve also been to many WW2 sites around the world. Yes, I agree with your view that war is terrible, but what if we – the Allies - had not done anything about Hitler? Could we, or should we have allowed him to run amok around Europe and the rest of the world? I think not.

As terrible as war is, it seems human beings cannot find another way to settle certain problems – although I’m hugely encouraged by the approach of the EU and how so many people now realize that fighting is NOT the answer. So I live in hope war might be a thing of the past, but I doubt it.

My saluting M. Wittman’s grave. As I stood there I was, to be totally honest, in awe of the fact that I was standing above the grave of this incredible Nazi tank Ace who was the top, or among the top scoring tank commanders in the Panzers. I saluted not who he was, nor – certainly – what he stood for – but for his talents as a tank tactician. Most British and American historians of that war, and who are really interested in such things, will confirm to you that whatever else one might think about Wittman, he was a brilliant tank commander. That, and only that, was what I was recognizing.

For 16 successful years – 1992 to 2007 – I was on three top LA radio stations (KABC, KKGO/KMZT and the KNX) with my show “John Clayton’s Travel with A Difference” and I always enjoyed hearing from my listeners - even though at times what they sent me might not have been what I was expecting. In other words, I found it fascinating to hear both the upbeat, offbeat and down beat. When I wrote what did I knew that it would generate some responses like yours. While I do not (NOT!!) advocate TBoy's writers' doing stories that are provocative, the fact remains that human beings (whether they admit it or not) like controversy - witness Glenn Beck, O'Reilly etc and of course R. Limbaugh. What I am saying is that if you, as the writer, feel strongly about something, you MUST put those thoughts down in your story. While I abhor all things that guys like Wittman did as a Nazi, the fact is he was a brilliant tactician.

I must share with you yet again how delighted I was – and still am – by your words, and I’m so glad you wrote and said what you did, and that you took the time to share your feelings. I do hope you can – at the very least – accept my thoughts and ideas that I’ve laid out in this email on this very sensitive subject. Perhaps even more so, for someone from Israel.

With best regards,.

John

John, Your refection on how young those can be who die in war reminded me of the A.E. Houseman poem at the entrance to the Fighter Command museum in London (beside the photo and engine of the RAF fighter pilot who died in the Battle of Britain): "Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young."

Hi John,

I have read a few articles about R for Robert, but yours by far is the best. My grandfather was co-pilot John Slatter (my Dad's dad). It is so neat to hear about ancestry. There is actually a book published called R for Robert. Another interesting detail.... I live in NH, and in 1985 a lawyer with many interests from Concord,NH and a sonar exploration company from Salem, NH were the ones who started the project to pull the Wellington out of the Loch. I am always trying to find information about that side of our family, and love to read articles such as yours. Thanks for the piece.....

Greetings my dear Cyndi

I was born in Kensington in London, and although I've been in this great place called the USA for 48 amazing years, if it is still true that Brits ARE noted for understatement, let me tell you that your email not only made my day, but gave me a huge, huge thrill.

I am a WW2 aficionado, and had one of the biggest "thrill sensations" of my life, when the French government invited me to the 60th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6th, 2004. In fact, I sat 50 feet from world leaders like Bush, Putin, and Queen Elizabeth. When I went to Loch Ness and heard (and saw!) that a wonderful Wellington had crashed there, and that it also pin pointed WHERE it had happened, I was in nirvana. I stood on the side of the road and, as I gazed out at the cold and forbidding waters that day, I was instantly transported back to the time and day when it happened - and in my imagination I saw and heard it all. So to get your amazing and (to me) riveting letter, was and is totally amazing - and wonderful.

Hello John,

Ed Boitano (who I met on a Star Clipper cruise in the Mediterranean last July) has sent me a link to your above article on the 'Little Steam Trains of North Wales' which I read with interest. One of the photo captions mentions a sign above the train in Welsh, which says: FFORD ALLAN GOFYNN'R DEITHWYR DDEFNYDDIO'R BONT I GROESI'R LEIN. Rougly translated it is a Notice to travellers to use the bridge to cross the line. In Welsh bont is a bridge or archway, Groesi is a crossing, Lein a line, (in this case a rail line or alternative it could mean a line-out (as in Rugby football - but that's another game!) Although born in Wales as Ed may tell you my Welsh is very limited, but trust this answers your question and it amuses! Kind regards,

John Dann - Hove, East Sussex, England

Hi

How wonderful to know that people in Hove (for heavens sakes!) are reading Traveling Boy. I remember -- with much fondness --- visiting Hove during my early years in the UK - charming and very British, so I hope it is still that way and that it has NOT been over run with neon signs and crass commercialism.

Thanks too for your comment about the Welsh wording on the bridge. There were so many wonderful things that intrigued me about Wales, and one of them was - and is! - the language. I mean you'd see this long series of words in Welsh, and then underneath it would give the British translation, and it'd very often be only one or two words. I attach a photo I took of a road sign to illustrate my point. In any event, thanks for your kind words and interesting feedback. MOST appreciated.

Please if you have this information and can help me, I would appreciate it very much and I thank you in advance I send you my best regards,

Philip Vella - St. Julians, Malta

Hi Philip,

Very nice to get your email and I'm so glad you like what you've seen and read on Traveling boy. Sadly, I do not have the answer to your question either. I do, however, have one suggestion and idea.

Among all my aviation books form that period, I have one called "Aircraft of World War 2." It is published by Chartwell Books, 114 Northfield Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08837, USA. The editorial and design was done by Amber Books at Bradley Close, 74-77 White Lion Street, London N1 9PF, England. Their website is www.amberbooks.co.uk.

As the above book is jam packed with fascinating facts about all the aircraft from WW2, I feel that if you write to both of them with your question, they might be able to help you. The book is written by Robert Jackson and he seems to be a mountain of information. Google his name and see what comes up.

Hello John, I don't know if you remember me or not but my name is Cliff Pleggenkuhle, Jr. I flew for Cal from 1964 to 2003. I got the article you did on Wes Coss from the Cal Chief Pilots office. The communications people forwarded the article to them. Anyway, I sent the article to the Golden Contrails editor and he is going to include the article in our next edition. The contrails is the publication of our retired group the Golden Eagles.

I have read the book and it was great. It would make a good movie. I also sent your article to my old banker, who is a airplane and WWII nut and I think he is sending you an article about the underground in WWII. He writes articles of interest in a weekly local paper in Liberty County, TX.

I will quit rambling and just wanted to let you know your fine article on Wes will be appreciated by many.

Regards,

Cliff Pleggenkuhle, Jr., Huffman, TX

* * * *

Sir...A good friend, a captain with Continental Airlines, Cliff Pleggenkuhle sent me your website. Indeed, your story about the great escape (albeit brief) was one that should be shared. Chuck Yeager also made his way to Spain and his story was somewhat similar. But it takes a real writer to set the plan in motion (and I really mean...motion) as you have done.

I'm taking the liberty to send you a copy of my newspaper column about another hero that I have known. Ironically, your mention of the escape of Wes being true can set aside the Great Escape of Stalag whatever. The untrue part that it was led by an American pilot when actually it was a Dutch pilot named Bob Vanderstock and others. When I went to Belgium with my friend Pieter Cramerus, a Dutch ace who flew Spitfires during WWII for the RAF, he told me about his friend Vanderstock's escape. Then, he introduced to me this fantastic former agent of the Belgium Underground who married his cousin. The rest is in the article. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for your expertise in writing the word.

You're getting some serious journalism on your site! Literary indeed. Award-winning potential, and I'm not just talking about YOUR stuff!!

Terry Cassel

Greetings....

Of all the stories I've written in my lifetime, I cannot think of any one that gave me as much pleasure and joy, in writing the piece about Wes. It required all my best "creative juices," and also - truly thrilling for me - gave me a marvelous opportunity to put words together about battle, about flying and about military history. Knowing how important editing is to any story, and to a reader's enjoyment of same (in other words it has to flow freely and be very concise) I wrote the article in one sitting, and then re-wrote it six times.

I have no idea who this Terry Cassel is, but I cannot tell you how thrilled and how, yes overwhelmed I am, by his brief (editing again proving that less is more) comments about my story. Thank you Ed for giving me this opportunity to put THIS story on the amazing Traveling Boy website. And Wes, thank you for allowing me to chat with you and glean from you (and then your book!) all the fascinating stuff that came together as my article.

Thanks must also go to my wife and my two daughters who have always believed in me, and who (as Father's Day has just passed) gave me the most wonderful and heart wrenching Father's Day cards imaginable. I have always told them that anything is achievable and possible, and that one should NEVER give up. Keep on knocking on doors and even if 20 are closed in your face, if you find yourself knocking on the 21st one, that'll very probably will be THE one that opens up for you - and demonstrates that your determination to never take NO as any sort of answer is a key part of success.

Finally, all of this has only been made reality, by my living and working in this place called the United States of America. Thank you all for everything.

Dear John Clayton:

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic report on the Zeppelin Museum. I am very pleased you like it as we -- the people working there -- do. We try to collect everything on Zeppelins and to make it available to visitors. Only the number of visitors I would like to correct: since the opening in 1996 we hosted more than 3,600,000 people. So we are among the most visited museums in Germany.Thank you very much again -- and kindest regards,

Hi John,

I know the places you describe in your aticle, and I usually feel exactly the same as you did, when I wander in the countryside - I live in this region. How could this places, so peaceful today, be such a hell for some men? But if you're attentive to many details in the ground and the scenary, finding shell shrapnels and tumb stones for example, then you begin to understand

Thank you John.

John,

I urge anyone traveling to London to put the Cabinet War Rooms high on their "must see" list. All who've taken my advice have thanked me, just like I thanked you, and do so again, for recommending the museum to me years ago.
