Last week I paid a visit to Normandy for a few days. I want to share these pictures with you. I hope you will like them.
Day 1.
First, we (my brother and his girlfriend joined me) paid a visit to Pointe du Hoc.
Monument for the Rangers on top of the cliff.
These are the cliffs they had to climb. about 30 meters high!!!
After that we went to Bloody-OMAHA.
We had lunch at OMAHA-beach and then we went on towards Arromanches to see the remnants of the Mulberry Harbour and to visit the Cinema circulaire.
We headed back towards OMAHA-beach to pay our respect to the fallen at the American cemetery in St. Laurent - Colleville-sur-mer. You can see the view from the cemetery towards OMAHA-beach.
Gravestone of Theodore Roosevelt.
Lesley J. McNair was killed by bombs from US airplanes in St. Lo while paying a visit to the 30th "Old Hickory" Division.
