Incredible drone footage shows Normandy D-Day beaches 75 years on
The archive of a British D-Day commanding officer including top secret Normandy landing maps is up for auction. Lieutenant Commander Bertram Lambert was a beach commander at Juno in June, 1944. He was responsible for coordinating the landings of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division on the 'Mike' section of the six-mile beach centred on the town of Courselles-Sur-Mer. The fascinating documents also include official memoranda sent by top command in the run up to, and after the landings.

As I recall from my visit, most of the dead at the U.S. cemetery in Normandy were aviators. The average age of the dead was twenty-four years. Tragic.

I was fortunate enough to visit the beaches and the cemetery on Memorial Day 2017 as part of a trip through NW France and Paris. The French were very grateful and gracious to us American tourists (as if we had anything to do with this magnificent achievement). They keep the cemetery immaculate and our bartender at our hotel showed us pictures of graves that he takes and emails to families who inquire about a relative buried there. I was so humbled to be there and I am so grateful to the men and women who sacrificed (including the French citizens) for the rest of us. By the way, we were treated very well throughout our visit, even in Paris!

No. The war is over and any explosive that remains underground is simply a remnant of the past. Think of it like a soccer match. Once the 90 minutes is over and the players are all gone, it doesn’t matter how many times you kick the ball into the net, the game has already ended. Just because you have access to the ball and the net doesn’t mean you were apart of the match.

No. You'd be unlucky. Sadly in many parts of the world it's not such an academic question and many of the landmines are 'discovered' by children and farmers. Although landmines have largely been cleared there is tons of ordinance being cleared every year all over Europe. Unexploded bombs are getting rarer but they still pop up every now and again. I heard an estimate that 30% of Ukraine is mined. I can't vouch for the number, no-one could, but I'm sure there's enough for them to still be stumbled on fifty years from now.
Excellent presentation !
Always remember,NEVER EVER FORGET ❤️

I understand many defenders weren’t German. Many of whom were conscripted Czech and Polish soldiers, other nations as well. Sometimes you have to fight in a war that isn’t even yours to begin with, because someone already took everything from you, except your life and your life is all you have left to gamble.
Thank you for the great sacrifice brave souls. R. I. P 🙏🙏🙏 🇺🇲
My father survived Omaha Beach. It became part of our family with his recurring memories.
If any of you get a chance, I highly recommended the visit to Normandy region. We spent a whole week in the region visiting D-Day landing beaches and sites, Mont Saint Michel, and Etretat. Very historical places for children/new generations to learn history.
You can only imagine......
unconditional love
I have a great grandfather who fought on d-day but survived the war until 2019 he died (he was 93 years old)
I had a great uncle who helped build the pontoons, an uncle that was evacuated from Dunkirk and another uncle that was one of the first British troops into Bergen Belsen of which he never ever spoke and my brother and I were under strict instruction not to ask what he done in the war, he kept his sanity by not speaking about it, but impossible to forget.

My great grandfather also went into Bergen Belsen, he also never spoke of what he saw there. He was part of the Royal Artillery having landed at Normandy on D day +1. Then over to Netherlands, battle of the bulge. Unfortunately to information of which unit he was part of has disappeared through the years.
It feels weird to see a place associated with so much death and destruction look so serene and kind of beautiful.

Few people seem to realize that these events took place almost a century ago. In the US, this beach is a myth, but for locals or vacationers from other places, this beach has been an ordinary swimming beach for generations. Filled with air mattresses, umbrellas, parking lots, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Virtually nothing remains of the invasion 80 years ago, apart from a few skeletons of bunkers. It's been decades since everything was cleaned, and over-cleaned. For information, this beach and the area around had been declared prohibited areas until around 1947, the time needed to clean up most of the damage and demine the area. Many German prisoners also died in these mine clearance operations.

HELMUT ALTO true that. but if it was just one war front... I guess the German could hold it much longer... But with the attack from the other side Germans Power got torn apart
There were different codename beaches - Gold, Utah, Juno, Sword, Omaha. But among these, I think the one which stood out was Omaha beach because of its unexpectedly high casualties and even though it's a codename, the beach itself which is in Normandy, France has already been called "Omaha Beach" even though the name Omaha originated from the name of a place in the United States.
May both sides all rest in peace in heaven for eternity❤️🙏

Its not impossible to be connected to the greatest generation. You may think you are removed, but your not. A great, uncle, Wylie Cliburn went ashore at Normandy. He then fought his way across france and germany, until he was hurt in Aachen, Germany.
And just think, this is 9,000 lives lost and we are currently losing this many every 3 days to Covid. To date we have lost 275,000 to Covid.
