Der l\u00e4ngste Tag (The longest day)<\/p>\n
The longest day started in the dusk of June 6th 1944. 60 years later we Austrians and German’s still call it the “invasion” or the longest day. When Americans, British, Canadian and others set out to re-conquer the continent, it wasn’t a “invasion” as it has been written down in history-books. It might be easy to say for me with the distance of time given, but the invasion actually was a liberation. A milestone to end the war we Austrians and Germans had started. A milestone that shortened the killing of innocent, the Holocaust and the life of a dictator that had torn the world apart. Even if the political situation has changed today and America seems to have forgotten about its once high ideals, June 6th still marks a defining moment of freedom, will and strength that binds us. If I could make a wish right now, I’d want Americans and their president to take a good look at themselves and think back of June 6th. Why did you forget what freedom means?<\/p>\n
