Re: Normandie 2008
Great pic Paul!
I know the Tiger well as it was featured in After the Battle many year's ago and was shown still lying in situ on the front cover!
They featured it's recovery and restoration in a later addition which i also have in an another Tiger book. Great stuff and nice to see it's not been cut up fro scrap like they did to all too many German Tank's after the war

A wish that Tiger would be in my garden
I love the last pic with the view over the barrel
Re: Normandie 2008
Yeah ditto!
Would make a nice play toy in the back garden alright.I wonder if they would miss it if it disappeared over night?-)

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: Normandie 2008
Great photos, you really covered the whole area. Done the identical route from Caen to Cherbourg for the last 3 years. Your pics are so much better than mine so thanks for the memories. We usually stay in Arromanche then Sainte-Mère-Église in June. Thanks again.
Re: Normandie 2008
Very nice pic! I like the detail with the soldier in the clock tower, seen the old D-Day filmI would love to go there once!
