Post

As promised to some here, I'm reposting one of my Twitter threads I posted to celebrate Victory Day, to which I'm adding another thread I made for the 80th anniversary of D Day (Normandy landings). (2/41)

(apart the one of my young grandmother, all pics were taken on Google) In fact, this is not very far from my usual subject, sci-fi, which is sometimes (partly) inspired by WW2 and the fight against fascism. Star Wars is a good example. (3/41)

By the way, Star Wars Visions The Spy Dancer by French studio La Cachette is inspired by real events. These memoirs were written in the 2nd half of the 20th century, transcribed by my brother after my grandmother's death, and then translated by myself. (4/41)

Thank you. On D-Day, my father was rescued and hidden by folks in a French village, but the Nazis found him and he spent the rest of his years in Stalag Luft III. He was in Paris, however, when the lights returned to the City of Lights that had been dark in all ways for so long.

Tough. 😓 I hope he didn't stay there long. It's funny, when I was young it seemed so far away, but now? It was after the release of some of my favorite films, it was yesterday.
