「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

六月六日 The longest Day 碧血長天

六月六日 The longest Day 碧血長天





二戰中後期 歐洲戰場﹐俄羅斯在東面反攻﹐歐美盟軍繼在意大利南部登陸﹐還在西歐打開第三條戰線。一九四四年六月六日在法蘭西的諾曼第地區﹐強行搶灘登陸﹐近年的電影「Saving Private Ryan ~~雷霆救兵」有整整三十多分鐘的大場面﹐重演當年的慘烈情景﹐看得我目定口呆。


而真正講述 諾曼第登陸戰的電影是「碧血長天~~The Longest Day」﹐我年幼時每年在六月六日﹐電視臺都會重播。當時年幼無知﹐不識戰爭殘酷﹐以為上陣殺敵﹐是很好玩的遊戲﹐兒時玩伴在「明珠臺」睇完 The Longest Day 後﹐就有樣學樣去玩﹐但無人肯扮德軍﹐個個都要做美軍﹐做英軍﹐因為德國軍隊是邪惡的。


「碧血長天」是英美合資拍攝的電影﹐宣揚盟軍打敗納粹德意志為首的﹐法西斯第三帝國。所謂「成者為王﹑敗者為寇」﹐歷史多是勝利一方﹐為了歌功頌德寫下的﹐另一方﹐戰敗的一方﹐想寫出事實真相﹐近世的還有機會﹐如德意志人寫了﹐坦白承認戰爭的錯誤認錯﹐但日本人不但寫了﹐還想改掉歷史﹐至于古時的歷史就更加無從稽考了。

The Longest Day

登陸戰由一九四四年六月六日開始﹐直至六月尾盟軍才算﹐穩守著灘頭前線陣地﹐而到八月十九日﹐登陸的軍隊推進及渡過 River Seine. 塞納河

Battle of Normandy


The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between Nazi Germany in Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II. Operation Overlord was the codename for the Allied invasion of northwest Europe, which began on June 6, 1944, and ended on August 19, 1944, when the Allies crossed the River Seine.





Over sixty years later, the Normandy invasion still remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving almost three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy. Operation Neptune was the codename given to the initial assault phase of Operation Overlord; its mission, to gain a foothold on the continent, started on June 6, 1944 (most commonly known by the name D-Day) and ended on June 30, 1944.
