Omaha, in fact all of Normandy is a fabulous place. There are still bunkers to see....the cratered landscape hidden under dune stabilisation foliage.....memorials everywhere.

To mention the other side (and no...I am not a Nazi...just a historian...:-)
I had an original funeral card for a young panzer soldier killed around D-Day +6 so I went and foundf his grave in the German cemetary in La Cambe. He is a few blocks from Michael Wittmann's grave. It was very moving...as the card has a picture of him on it.

There are lots of things to see...right through Normandy.....and it is well worth the trip!

Cheers, Truppe.
