Battlefield Normandy

here is a link to a interesting site:
http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/normandie1/home.htm

Also at bottom a few links to Margraten Cemetery, with history of this Cemetery.

 

what are those things on the Omaha Beach pciture? great site.....as much detail as you want...and many, many pics of each....great model of the Pointe du Hoc landing craft.....I see they have a Bulge site also

 

That is the "Les Braves" monument France commissioned for the 60th anniversary.

I did do a quick picture search, etc....thanks...with your information, I zeroed in on it...I just can't 'understand' it, sort of.......

 

The Wings of Hope
So that the spirit which carried these men on 6th June 1944, continues to inspire us, reminding us that together it is always possible to change the future.

Rise of Freedom
So that the example of those who rose up against barbarity, helps us remain standing strong against all forms on inhumanity.

The Wings of Fraternity
So that the surge of brotherhood always reminds of our responsibility towards others as well as ourselves.

Does that make it easier to understand.

 

let me re-phrase....I hope no one is offended.....''not my cup of tea'' regarding the layout .....

 

Ah, OK, that's better. I'm not big on the artsy-fartsy stuff either.

 

It is a nice site. On the 101st stuff, they are a bit guilty of the BoB effect (506), with no mention that the 327 actually moved into and secured Carentan and fought an equal battle as Cole just a few KMs from there at the same time.

But, it is a good page.
