PHOTOGRAPHY OF TIME TRAVEL CONTRASTS - D-DAY SITES THEN AND NOW - War and destruction then, serenity now

Streets of change: A French tank gets a warm welcome passing through Sainte Mere Eglise ¿ today the bombed building is a clothes shop
Serene streets in 2014, unless you happen to meet one of those frequent hordes of European Muslims rioting  and shouting murderous chants against Jews and Israel.

War and peace: The incredible photographs that contrast the horror of the D-Day battlefields in 1944 with their present-day serenity
 
  • This year marks 70 years since Allied invasion of France in 1944 with thousands of troops landed in Normandy
  • Here photographs show the incredible transformation of battlefields from the invasion to the present day
  • Tanks are replaced by caravans while sunbathers relax where wounded troops were carried ashore by comrades.


  • Watching history: Residents look on as a Canadian bulldozer clears the Rue de Bayeux after the battle for Caen ¿ the church towers somehow survived the Allied bombing, but much of the city had to be rebuilt
