Normandie 1968
One of my first trips!!
To begin, Omaha
Along Omaha, the fortified house.
From this house, the first bunker, in the midle.
La pointe du Hoc
In one bunker you can see that it burns, on the ground, I took one burnt brotbeutel.

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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: Normandie 1968
I have a photo of the guns at Longues Sur Mere from my trip, almost exactly the same picture but 40 years later. Very cool
Did you see the horse in the cement of a perimeter MG pit? Made me laugh.
Re: Normandie 1968
Here is my pic, not as similar as I thought but it is the same gun. I hope you don't mind my posting this here.
