Omaha Beach, Then & Now
Loading...
Uploaded by ibaniloiv on Jul 24, 2007
Living local to the site where the ill-fated Exercise Tiger took place I have long been interested in the story of D-Day & Operation Overlord. It was in 2006 that our family holiday took us to Normandy, France and I could not pass up the chance to visit the area that was supposed to resemble the little part of Devon that is Slapton Sands.
With humble recognition to Steven Spielberg and the fantastic music of John Williams this is my tribute to those that paid the ultimate price for everything we now hold so dear.

Many of the survivors.. They should be teaching courses in our schools so we don't forget the good we have done in our past. Don't forget such an extraordinary national heritage.

They were and are all heroes. To face that kind of slaughter and keep charging forward...
there is no other word..Hero.. So many died, wounded and survived to continue fighting..
they said "Heroism was the standard of the day". They changed the course of the war in one day, One terrible day. It was the beginning of the end of the Reich on the Western Front.

Amazes me how 67 years ago that beautiful beach was a killing zone. I had an uncle who was on Omaha Beach and was in the first wave and fortunately survived though he was wounded later in the war. May those who died on Omaha Beach continue to rest in peace.

The Heroes of this operation is not the survivers, but the soldiers that died out there.
