Through Winston the Allies funneled 2,500,000 troops, half a million vehicles and 4,000,000 tons of supplies in the eight months after Dday.

A lot of effort, but the grand design for the avenue was kept intact...
...three boundless resources-romantic enthusiasm, energy and hard cash-on medieval restoration. She trained masons to lay a new roof on the chapel and made them do it over four times to suit her. The castle towers, which Mayor Isnard once threatened to tear down before they tumbled, now jut sturdily into the air.
