Show Grandstand View of Normandy Beachhead Est J - ".- z. v- . - v , This is how the American section of the Normandy beachhead looks, viewed from a bluff where German gunners once had a position. As far as the eye can see there are invasion crafts, ferrying fighting Tanks and other Allied soldiers as well as munitions and equipment to the beach. Barrage balloons swing above the transports like lazy cows to protect them against possible dive bombing attack. All is quiet on this strip of beach now, but in the first hours of the invasion death and terror ran rampant here. |
