The
Time Team landed on the beaches of Normandy some 57 years 199 days since the largest
amphibious landing of history. The Tonsley crew visited Gold Beach, Arromanches,
Longues-sur-Mer, Omaha Beach (of "Saving Private Ryan" fame), Pointe
Du Hoc, The Melville Battery and Pegasus Bridge the scene of a dramatic glider
drop to secure a vital bridge head. As you will see by the photos many of the
German defences are very much intact. Another very thought provoking trip. |
