D-Day Normandy

RE: D-Day Normandy
Some years ago, I used to visit Normandy and other areas of Europe, finally making Berlin, regularly, checking out the WW11 and WW1 sites.
A fascinating experience. I once popped into a cafe in Arnhem where the proprietor brought out shoeboxes full of photos his father had taken of the town, days after the Market Garden action.
Despite all the sites I visited, the most sobering were the rows of crosses in the cemetaries, that seemed to run forever, really makes you reflect on all those poor souls and their families, Amen to them all.
On a lighter note, since moving to Cornwall, I visited a War vehicle display and found that Bradley was here with all the US troops (forget the Army Group number, but they hit Omaha Beach from here). Gives me a new feel about my new surroundings.
