The D-Day beaches, Normandie, France. 24 June 2010.


That was a day full of history - D-Day, the battle of Normandy, the Atlantic wall and much more that has happened on the norman coast back to June 6 in 1944, when the allied troops have landed here. The D-beaches are still referred to by their wartime code names:  Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah.
