Thread: Old and new images of D Day landings

    Default Old and new images of D Day landings

    I know this is not strictly WoW stuff but I thought this might be of interest to the Drome, purley for its historical interest.

    Enjoy

    Those interactive images are brilliant Paul - amazing how little has changed in some pics - had to smile when I saw the RNLI lifeboat is still moored where its predecessor was in 1944 !

    It is amazing how some places have changed so little and yet some have been developed so much.
    Made me realize just how much is different in my town since I was a kid, and that is ten years or so on from these pictures.

    Having seen the beaches as they are now, and the church it really did put things in perspective. Anybody got any other old and new links?

    Extremely shocking, but still, beautiful images. Think that such a beutiful landscape like the french beaches once were full with blood is scary. I found a place that did the same thing but with different images, but now i cant find the link.
    Thanks

    The more things change the more they stay the same. Great photos.
