Normandy, France


Haha, so I completely forgot that I hadn't put up any pictures from Omaha Beach. These were taken from the very beachhead that US soldiers struggled up on June 6th, 1944, beginning the end of Hitler's domination. I saw Pointe du Hoc, where the Rangers scaled the cliffs, Omaha Beach, where the Americans suffered the heaviest losses of D-Day, the German heavy gun bunkers near Juno beach, and the US military memorial/cemetery. In the interest of saving time and the fact that many of these speak for themselves, I will cut off my commentary here.
