It’s a short step from the Normandy landing to the Lombardy landing: all the television gaffes on the day of the anniversary
Give it landing in Normandy to the landing in Lombardy the step is short. Yesterday, Thursday 8 June, various editions of the various Italian news broadcasts reported the news of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings (we also talked about the Lombardy landings in today’s episode of La Strambata: listen to the podcast), one of the key and most remembered moments of the Second World War. Four journalists mispronounced “Landing in Normandy” and instead they said: “Landing in Lombardy”. Obviously it’s not ignorance but a slip of the tongue, they confused the French region with the Italian one. It happened to One morning on Rai1, al Tgla7to Open Studio and also to Tg4 on Rete Quattro.
All the presenters of the programs introduced the news of the celebration for the anniversary of the landing. The celebrations took place in Normandy with various heads of state including Joe Biden, president of the United States. The only one who realized the gaffe live was Bianca Caterina Bizzarri of Tg La7. Below is the video on the profile of Italian trash.
The Normandy landings are also known as D-Day and occurred on June 6, 1944. On that date, the allied armies of the United States arrived in Normandy occupied by Nazi Germany. With the American army also the Canadian and the United Kingdom. It was undoubtedly one of the turning points of the war. Numerous battles throughout the day are remembered from the day. There were 12 thousand dead and injured. The allies managed to conquer and defend numerous strategic positions and that fact was in some way the turning point that led to Germany’s surrender, eleven months later.
