I am in Normandy this week for the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. I will be meeting up with Woodstock tomorrow who is just up the coast. But today I visited the museum in Caen and Pegasus bridge.
Thought the few history buffs here might be interested in a couple of pictures of Pegasus Bridge. This was a key battle and the 61st Paras were the key group involved.
FWIW I am staying at a hotel that is right on Sword beach. Tomorrow I head to the American cemetery and beaches. An amazing amount of people here, including active duty military and re-enactors.
Not all of my trip is to look at the current events. I also spent time in Caen visiting the tombs of William the Conquerer and his wife Matild for other research I am doing.
