Vee,
Since I won't be able to make it to Normandy this year, I'd like to ask you a small favor.
If you go to that area, please take a view photos of the area where the "German villa" was near Vierville.
It's on Charlie Beach (the "side beach" of Omaha Beach).
My friend Michael climbed those bluffs and hit the German defenses from the rear on D-Day.
He was part of the Ranger force that got re-directed to Omaha sector when they thought the assault at Pointe-du-Hoc had failed.
I also believe there is a pretty good chance he was with the force that assaulted the Maisy battery (recently discovered).
Could you also take a few pictures of Dog Green?
That is where my other friend Jim (Assault Engineer) landed in the 3rd wave on D-Day.
Thank you very very much for considering.
Erwin
