just back from Normandy


Recommended Posts

Just got back from a week in Normandy and visited loads of museums several cemetries and many historic sites but the one that sticks in my mind is Point Du Hoc just for the sheer destruction it seems amazing any body could have survived that

Please do post up as soon as you can Nigel as you can never get enough of Normandy pictures!

 

PDH was pretty much destroyed by the US engineers after they taken the place......shame that there were no guns there so the whole task was pointless - so some would say.

Its true , but only in hidesight, at the time they planned and committed them selves to taking out the Guns they thought were there , that is until they actually scaled the cliff's and learned the truth , the hard way . May times battles are fought with incorrect or bogus information and many have died as a result .
