Well theres a quicker way to dig ground for a pool...Wow man, thats awesome. Im guessing your on Omaha Beach in that pic. If i went there, i would not enjoy the sights bu just think of what those men did on that fateful day...Brave, brave men

yes i was exactly the way you are there but i was happy to be there in the sense that it was a place i really wanted to go to! and it happened and trust me at the cemetry at omaha, i simply sat down beside a grave and huged it and said thanks and a prayer. If it were not for those men i would not be here right now.

nice photos man, hopefully when I go to Russia i'll take some pictures of Stalingrad

When i went to see my grandads grave in normandy(the white crossers) i did alomost the saim my friend. If they hadn't gone into the war what would be happening today?

awesome pics man. I wish I went to check out Normandy

Fantasic Pictures. Was there any camping snipers? biggrin:

Wow, great pics. If you have anymore please post them. Some of us have never been there and would love to see your pics. It must be an awesome experience to stand on the same ground where the greatest battle of all time took place. God bless all those men who gave their lives for our freedom.

yes i will post more but right now its 6:25 am and im about to go to school so when i get home today i will post some more pics i have something like 200 all together and about 2 hours of film which is kinda hard to show.

the next batch will be up by tonight!

thnx, DD

P.S. In normandy if you ever go i suggest going to Point du Hoc, and you will understand why i call it a "moon scape" well that picture of me in the crater was taken there and i will show u another pic of a view down some of point du hoc and you will see what i mean via moon scape.

Very nice, man. Did you take any pics of the landing craft? I know theres a bunch of them all rusted up on the beach.

damn I never thought thoses MG-42 bunkers were still there in normandy. That looks just like the one in DOD.

I know a friend who went to Normandy,and on the beaches he found a bunch of M1 Garand parts..you find anything?

Sure you would be here today. The russians would have kicked the germans.

Nice place i wanna go their someday maybe ill get lucky and step on a land mine. biggrin:

of course the froggies would be under Stalin's rule, but who cares about those arrogant SOBs biggrin:

I do, and so should you

Hm why isnt there any thread about the hockey world champinonship?

cuz no one gives a fuck?

i went to belgium recently on a school history trip, would you guys be interested in seeing some of my piccies?

[quote="Old Reliable":85cbd]cuz no one gives a fuck?[/quote:85cbd]


arent there many canadians here that watch hockey. well last year there was a thread about the WC.

WOW, awsome pic's

more please biggrin:

pretty cool

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ the pictures are so cool!

yeah man great pics,especially that crater u were in wowwwowwwwwwwwwww

For some reason, that bunker looks like they filled it with cement

What exactly is that hole at the side? Looks like its an underground bunker.

I think the top thing is a fake, it looks like a gun slot from far away to confuse naval gunners, also it gets blown up by bombs instead of the actual bunker, and protects teh guys inside the real thing below. Damn these smart krauts.

the hole looks a lot like what battleship turrets are inserted into, so maybe there used to be a coast defense gun on it but it got blown up or dismantled.

Usually after 60 years of lying there they would of all een buried or washed away.....is he telling the truth

yeah, I would highly doubt the authenticity of those items, they were most likely planted

ITS A CONSPIRACY I TELLS YA!!

well as a matter of fact i did find something on omaha beach, but my dad said it was a rusted pice of shit from nothing inparticular, but when i went to a museum i noticed the rusted part was actually a mortar plate....... ok im uploading the pictures, and yes i did see some landing crafts but they were outside a museum at utah beach as well as another museum which also had a german 88. And that picture of that bunker probally did have mg 42s in it but the top part was an observation post that looks out over the sea and wow that view was something! You can still climb to the top by a ladder in the back, i will show u the front view soon as these pics up load!

thnx, DD

Can't wait to see them! But, damn this makes me wanna go to Normandy so bad now! Is Ohama, and Utah the only beaches you wen't too?

no no hold on let me upload these lol, i went to sword and gold beach as well u will see in the pics i upload a whole batch this time!

ok here are the next bunch of pics, if u want more tell me!
