I’ve been there as well. There are still German bunkers you can go into that overlook the beach. Just a small slot for machine gun barrels. It was so eerie thinking of what occurred where I was standing. We overtook and persevered with sheer numbers. The cemetery’s seemingly endless crosses were sobering and humbling. So many gave their lives. The current younger generations have no clue what they should be thankful for.

off subject but just got back from visiting an old fighter pilot buddy that is an ex-POW from Vietnam, those dudes are a dying breed also and will be lost treasures soon, some of the highest caliber humans I've ever had the honor of being around
