Normandy trip, 2/9/2004 - 6/9/2004.

Omaha beach from Colville-sur-mer looking out down the bluff on to the beach. American troops had to come up the beach (which was a low tide on D day and therefore a couple of hundred yard further out to the horizon), cross marshes and then climb the bluff before engaging German defenders. How anyone survived I have no idea.
