"Where blood is shed, a poppy grows..." We saw a lot of poppies
along the wheat fields of France.
Batterie de Longues Sur Mer
Four German gun casemates and a range-finding post overlooking the D-day
beaches.
I was observing the damage to the gun from a charge that was placed inside
the barrel and on the emplacement.
Some of us inside a German range-finding post at the Batterie de Longues
Sur Mer. In the close-up on the right you see Pam & Mike, Gary, myself
and Don.
These photos were taken at a Museum of D-Day Wrecks. These don't look too
bad at a distance, but up close, the salt water really ate them up. When
these went down, they were new. The tracks and other parts have virtually
no wear on them at all.
Port-en-Bessin. If you have watched the movie "The Longest Day",
you will recognize this shot. The road on the left and the round tower are
where the nuns walked down to help the soldiers in the hotel. This scene
was shot here and they built the casino for the movie. Nothing of the casino
is left now.
