Cathryn on the Normandy Beach at Arromanches.  This was the primary landing site for the British.  Tides up to 12 feet with no beach at high tide to 1/2 mile or more to ocean at low.  Weather cool but clear. . Burt, Cathryn and others reflect cool weather at a picnic in Bayeux.  At least the sun was out ... sometimes.
Remains of artificial "Mulberry" harbor built in England for the invasion then towed across the channel and sunk in place.  Includes the barriers in the far distance. German fortified gun site left as it was after the invasion.  These sites were bombed then attacked by special forces early in the invasion.  Note thickness of concrete
American graves at Normandy, sad and inspiring but oh so many, so young. German graves at their cemetery. So many misguided, so young.
