  1. Old AF Sarge

    Absolutely unbelievable merging of the past and the present. Thanks for posting this ORPO!

  2. Daryle LaMonica

    Very cool.

  3. Bill Brandt

    It is almost eerie

  4. As posted at ORPO’s place, I reiterate this reminds me of this place: http://www.arromanches360.com/
    One of the most remarkable pieces of film, a similar concept to these photo’s, that you will see on this subject. A must see if you are visiting Normandy.

  5. Hogday

    Fantastic! And a concept I first saw here; http://www.arromanches360.com/en/
    Essential if you ever visit Normandy.

    My late Father-in-law landed at Utah and saw most of the war from driver’s seat of a Sherman. Except the times he had his tank shot out from under him.. This is eerie and interesting..
