Unchangeable Normandy Outgrows
War's Ravages, Lives Unto Itself
By HAL BOYLE
SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY, June 7. UP) War hurts the
land less than the people who live on the land.
And this story could just as well be datellned "with the American
forces in Normandy in memory."
Because, soldier, If you come back you'll find that's all the war
now has come down to here. Just your own memory bitter or
sweet.
The American Army came In
its pompless power and passed on
just as a small army with more
pomp in previous centuries came
and passed.
But the imprint of William the
Conqueror is heavier on the land
today than Eisenhower the first.
And Willie was a big shot here
almost nine centuries ago, where
as Ike was here only five years
back.
The difference probably boils
down to the fact that vigorous
William the man who dared to
cross the English channel that
Adolph Hitler didn't was a home
town boy. And all of us who came
here under Ike were only mili
tary transients to the steadfast
natives of Normandy. '
We probably didn't really have
too much to offer the Normans.
They are rugged and crochety
and freedom-loving Individuals
just as we like to think we are.
They drink cider as we do. And
they have a thing called "calva
does" a form of brandy more
delicious than anything any
American hill billy ever slewed
from corn, raisin or potatoes.
It is a kind of French vodka
In a hairy bottle.
Normans First Always
The Normans are florid peas
ants who differ from Iowa soil
merchants only in that they pre
fer the horse to the tractor and
they still would rather die and go
to heaven than live and retire to
California.
So it will always be as It has
been for centuries. Hundreds of
thousands of Germans and Ameri
cans and Britain fought across
this soil five years ago. Norman
dy was choked with their noise
and their weapons. What is left?
The graves of those who stayed.
The Norman peasant gave the
world a historic battlefield. But
he never let himself be drawn
too much into the struggle. He
speaks a few words of German,
a few words of English but he
still understands the language of
his milk cows better than any
thing execpt his own close
mouthed family.
His. land is as loyal to him as
he is to it. The scars of war have
been covered with lush grass and
surging trees. Come back today,
soldier, and you'll find it's hard
to find the place you fought in.
It is now only in your mind.
The land has outgrown war
here and forgotten it. It has
healed itself, just as people, who
grow more slowly and cure them
selves less easily would like to.
It holds no memories of what
people would like to forget and
can't.
