Glad you enjoyed it! I didn't have long there sadly but the main square was beautiful and I'd like to go back one day and properly explore the city! Thank you for watching!

A superb video with then and now photographs, showing that not much has changed in 79 years.

Having found your channel, having a blast going over the various videos!! Tidbit - I think the photo at 6:43 has been printed in reverse - the jeep's wheel appears on its right side, versus left side, as well as the Major is to the driver's left. In addition the driver's blouse appears to be overlapping to his left, i.e., how women's clothing is normally designed. Again, just a simple observation.

From Texas, thank you sir for this series, all your long nights of discovery and photo discovery., Subscribed and following you ! A little confused by the shorts, heck what do I know ! You are doing a fantastic and different work of history ! Nancy as we US or Europeans pronounce it , 'Nans,' as the French, they were so lucky to have the Allies .

Love the then and know photos. Especially the little French boy who had the chance to grow up in a free country. And all the French people who suffered at the hands of the Nazi. It was really great to recognize the work of the resistance fighters. Lest we forget.

Hi, I'm new to your KZread channel, and I'm asking if you have any history about Dieppe and any photos of the place. Because my Grandad was there in WW2 with the RAFR, and I'm just looking for some information about it, please.

@WW2Wayfinder

I’ll cover Dieppe eventually, might be in a year or two BUT I am starting to do more aviation related videos. However if you google RAF Historical Branch and email them with the information you’re after they should be able to help as they’ve helped me numerous times with research

At 7:24 the photo is reversed, look at the the steering wheel on jump, its on the wrong side. The position you need is just opposite.

Tank type on 6:34 ?
