ANZIO--JUST DAYS AT THE BEACH.

 

Oh come on! We know what it was really like at Anzio:

On a separate note - do you know what the Google Doodle is today? Noooo! Nothing about D-Day. It is about Diego Velázquez, a 17th century painter. Don't mean to take away anything from the accomplished painter, but I can think of plenty of other painters they don't do doodles for. They had to pick today to do that? Yeah it's his birthday, but his paintings would probably be in some Nazi vault if not for D-Day and other WWII offensives going on in the mid-40's.
