We were very fortunate to have a guided tour of the D-Day beaches with Carl and Laure. I did not know about the huge docks that had been built in England and brought over to the Normandy beaches for the final assault against the Germans at the end of WWII. These were used to dock the hundreds of ships carrying men and supplies to the D-Day beaches. You can see a line of them in the distant background. Seeing this brought some perspective to the huge Allied effort.
One of the many Nazi gun installations that the Allies had to deal with. Note how thick the bunker is and how they stepped the angles so that incoming bullets would be deflected outward.
