...teau. Normandy. The 6th of June, 1944. Fire bombs explode overhead. Parachutes dot the warm night sky. Below, a captain of the Resistance is locked in combat with a German major. The cause of their quarrel: a woman, naturally. In France, D-day or no Dday, S for sex comes first...

In another picture, a bloated effigy of Hudibras is ridden to a fiery stake by people who are finally fed up with Protestant reformers...
