The 6th of June is remembered for both D-Day and for the birth of Dieudonné Joseph Saive (born 1899.) He was the designer of many well-known firearms including the Browning Hi-Power [1], the FN49 [2] and co-designer (along with Ernest Vervier) of the very popular FN-FAL [3], which was issued to the militaries of more than 90 countries.
