Normandy isnt the only place to see bunkers...

Jutland also have bunkers on their beachses and i havent seen many of them, because the sea is eating them..
The waves is destroying the sand and the bunkers gets dragged into the water.
But that wasnt big bukers.. Just plain one room with a murderhole.

The only big one we (danes) have are the Hanstholm bunker.. Lying at the north of Jutland it could, together with Norway, protect the Eastersea from invasion...

Look you guys are almost saying how great THE OVERLORD opertaions were.one of you said how you could imagine landin there and seeing your friends get wasted . i think this discussion should be stopped , real people died , not all wanted to fight for freedom,many just wanted to kill some GERMANS.MOH:AA is not a fucking simulator you sick person ,it is merely a game.You also say how realistic it is,did you land on OMAHA beach by any chance ?? didnt think so.You dont even know what combat is like,nor do i but i dont think i do.one of you even said how you wished you could land on OMAHA for real,u fuckin dick,real people died , people with families.if you guys just bought MOH:AA to see what WW2 was likme you are sick,buy it because it is a great game.if you like the idea of war y dont you go fight Bin Laden,you werent laughin SEPTEMBER 11th , wishing for war were you??you guys are lookin back at WW2 and thinkin it was great cause the game you played was good or the film was great.i swear if you were in WW2 you would rather be dead i bet.

Couldn't agree with the original poster more. Can't wait to visit OB. Solemn but interesting.

I visited last summer, it's a very moving place and the beaches are full of huge holes where artillery shells landed almost everywhere. Great museums also.

Wrong.

The Japanese civilians were told they'd be crucial in defending their homeland. The Japanese government basically brainwashed them, telling them to fight the Allied soldiers with whatever they had. Japanese people during that period were the opposite of European people. European citizens didn't want to be involved when the war came to them. The Japanese citizens almost wanted the Americans to land on the soil of Japan, just so they could have a chance to kill one themselves. The U.S. would've had to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, most likely millions, to 'conquer' Honshu, the main island of Japan.

This is a rather well documented fact.

If you don't know anything about World War II, don't try to argue with someone who does.

I know this may sound callous, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between "civvies" and the military in a war..

After all, if an American soldier came to me during wartime and asked if they could use my home as a base of operations, I would say "Hell yes!". I'm sure the same goes for Japanese civvies during WW2...

I must say i have read every one of the replies in this topic and it has really made me think more about it like omaha,china,it just made me think most about omaha and the people that died there and i wish we just bombed the bunkers from the skies why dident we do that so insted we thew a shit tone of are men to die like that it is sad thow i think i will never look at mohaa the same again but i must say all the men that landed on omaha were probly some of the bravest men that ever lived.
