  Dieppe and D-Day: The...

  The invasion across the Channel came in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944. That day, forever known as D-Day, the Allies commenced Operation Overlord by staging the largest and most complex amphibious invasion in human history. The complex operation would require tightly coordinated naval and air bombardment, paratroopers, and even inflatable tanks that would be able to fire on fortifications from the coastline, all while landing over 150,000 men across nearly 70 miles of French beaches. Given the incredibly complex plan, it’s no surprise that General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the commander in charge of the operation, had already written a letter apologizing for the failure of the invasion, which he carried in his coat pocket throughout the day.  
  D-Day would turn out to be a remarkable success, but it wasn’t the first time the Allies tried to land in France after the Nazi conquest of Western Europe. On the 19th of August in 1942, Allied troops launched a raid on the port of Dieppe in German-occupied France, but this attack, codenamed Operation Jubilee, was a disaster. Of the 6,000 ground troops deployed, two-thirds were killed, captured, or wounded, and among the raid's objectives, only one could have been considered a success. Britain proved it was committed to a campaign to drive the Nazis out of Western Europe, but making that one point came at a huge cost in lives, most of them Canadian. Churchill later asserted, "My Impression of 'Jubilee' is that the results fully justified the heavy cost. Not surprisingly, the Canadians begged to differ.” 
  Churchill’s bombast aside, the raid on Dieppe proved quite painfully that an amphibious operation across the English Channel would be dangerous no matter when or how it was attempted, so the logistics for Operation Overlord would also rely on espionage, counter-intelligence, and deception.

  Three young Jewish sisters from Leipzig, Germany huddle together in the cold darkness of night waiting for their smugglers to rescue them and bring them to freedom in Belgium. Their mother, in a state of shock following Kristallnacht, is left behind, sedated in a psychiatric hospital. November 1938 begins the four year ordeal of the seven member Kroch family who endure unfathomable conditions in their fight for survival: imprisonment in French internment camps, hiding in a tiny tool shed, and adapting to the deplorable conditions of a Nazi prison. The memoirs of Alexandra, age eleven, and her sisters, fifteen year old Eva and fourteen year old Judith, interweave as they recount the true story of their escape from the Nazis. 
   
   
   
  Leaving behind their life of luxury, the girls describe unimaginable hunger, deprivation, and fear. Family love, music, and the close friendship of strangers are the essential ingredients that sustain them through the hardships they face. A narrative backdrop threads through the story, providing the socio-political context. From a historical perspective and from the three sisters' witness accounts, the listener will come to understand the progression of antisemitism in Germany and France, the course by which Hitler dismantled democracy, the role France adopted as Nazi collaborators, and how the Swiss policies towards Jews were executed.

  Everything you do and think is controlled by others. Everything you buy. Your work. Your beliefs. Everything is part of a false reality created to control. 
   
  Humanity has no idea it is in fact caught in a massive lie. It is trapped by it’s own inner desires and follows the will of those in power. 
   
  Society is a mirror of man and society is a lie that is far removed from our natural origins. Every country on this planet is being oppressed by clever and powerful elite groups that have been building their empires for centuries. 
   
  They feed us lies and we believe. Eventually we become so deluded we can no longer even see it. 
   
  But there are some who can still see clearly and understand that we live in the ultimate Grand Delusion.
