Field notes
The narrative recasts the Normandy invasion as Operation Kongu, led by Vishist Ram, a punctual visitor from the Kongu region who takes over the planning room. Its running jokes appear in captions and quotations as well as the chapter prose: landing craft get steel tiffin carriers, and the five beaches become five family groups led by uncles. The page also labels a visitor counter and asks to be viewed in Netscape Navigator, giving the fiction a deliberately old-web frame.
