Hi 75mirabelle, thankyou for your service in Korea. My Father was drafted during that war and was stationed in Alsaka. I'm happy and surprised by how many hits this video has. I'm so glad I had the chance to visit such hallowed ground. It's such a powerful place. I'll never forget walking through row after row of graves, a 22 year old from CA, a 25 year old from NY, an 19 year old from PA. These brave young men laid down their lives, these brave young men saved the world.

he said the guide told him all about it

Yes I said, "The guide told me all about it". What is your point? I know the history of D-Day. I didn't know exact distances the guns shot from those bunkers...The guide told me all about it.

to get details on google: Batterie de Longues sur Mer seven years ago i was over there. it was verry interresting to know that the fireleading bunker was used in the D-day movie: the scene with the sentinel who is calling " they are comming " was filmed in this bunker.

Visited the bunker complex at Longueville about 10 years ago I hear that they've stopped access to the control bunker at the cliff edge due to erosion of the cliff.That's a great pity as i was very impressed with it at the time. Despite all the bombs and shells the concrete was barely shipped. The Germans certainly built things to last....

Hi,

Hi dgallacelt,

I just finished and posted my first YouTube video, for you to see as we have walked along just about the same paths......I want to go again and get a lot more footage. Two full days would be nice, the weather and the tide should be taken in consideration. In full season would be quite crowded, spring and fall would be a better choice.

Hi !....More people of this younger generation should visit these places and try to feel what it must have been to walk into a wall of bullets.....I am a Korean vet (52-53) but in 44 I was a young 15 yrs.. old boy in France...by the Atlantic Wall.....with minefields and bunkers left and right !!!! I am preparing a 6 minute video of my 2010 trip there for you and I will post it as soon as it is ready, We have walked the same paths...
