About fifteen years ago, my wife and I visited the landing beaches at Normandy on the anniversary of the allied landing in 1944. It remains an awesome sight, especially at Omaha Beach.
Photographs of the landing site, especially the remains of the "Mulberries" - the concrete caissons forming an enormous artificial breakwater - don't convey the scale of the operation. You need to see it with your own eyes.
