A great presentation that was provided to us showing photos taken during WWII at Normandy, France and photos taken in the modern day same location. It is amazing how so many things are still the same, yet different.

    Your website is a valuable historical resource. I recently wrote a book on WWII, a historically-sound mystery of sorts, central to the plane crash of a 1939 English plane crash. Your readers may also appreciate it. The book is entitled “The Bridge of Deaths.”

    I am just a amateur historian at this point but I am very in depth of world warII. I think the main reason why the it looks the same is because the buildings and homes (exspecily historical places or ones of importants) could not b fired on unless necessary. Naval guns mainly targeted block houses and known places of heavy German instillation proved by the spie planes and photos from them. The only real time buildings were at stake is when they had to assault a village or fortified position. Plus the Germans were always on the run thanx to the lack of support and crumbling supply lines. Very nice pictures by the way. Never noticed the similarities befor interesting. Like the blog

    I find World War II fascinating, especially Winston Churchill. His bravery and brilliance was inspiring. You can find an excellent interview with him, and other historical luminaries, here: http://psychicthinkers.tumblr.com/. One of my favorite blogs
