<\/p>\nA GERMAN protester is leading the fight to block a D-Day memorial to British troops killed liberating Europe.<\/p>\n
Maxi Krause, 70, called the planned monument to the 22,442 who perished at the Battle of Normandy monstrous and stupid.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The retired linguistics professor also claimed it would ruin sea views for villagers.<\/p>\n
But she and her army of nimbys were told by one D-Day vet: \u201cYou can all get stuffed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richard Blyth, 93, said it was a disgrace that British troops were still waiting for a memorial in Normandy 75 years on.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to fight tooth and nail to make them see that it\u2019s wrong to object to a memorial.\u201d<\/p>\n
The monument is proposed for a grassy ridge overlooking D-Day\u2019s Gold Beach where British soldiers clambered ashore on June 6, 1944.<\/p>\n
The name of all those who died will be engraved on the polished stone memorial, which will cost \u00a320million.<\/p>\n
Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron are due to attend an inauguration ceremony on the 75th anniversary of D-Day in June.<\/p>\n
But villagers in Ver-sur-Mer \u2014 population 1,600 \u2014 are worried coachloads of tourists will destroy their peace and quiet.<\/p>\n
Maxi, born in Stuttgart but now a French citizen, led protests including a march around the 47-acre site last month.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI hope it\u2019s not too late to stop this. This project is so monstrous.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a supermarket from the point of view of its size.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019ll be a wall more than seven metres high and 30 metres wide looking on to the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opponents have delivered leaflets and lodged objections with planners, who will give their decision next month,<\/p>\n
