Really enjoy these commentaries-kind of soft engaging approach without the unnecessary hype. Usually listen in bed at night. Trouble is, if you fall asleep you fight the battles in your dreams

So inspiring to see the area where these events actually happened.

I visited here in 1978, on holiday with my parents, long before public interest re-emerged, I can’t recall any museums at that time, but your channel has encouraged me to return so thank you and please keep up the good work!

The first museum opened un 1964. It was just a german bunker. It’s been enlarged twice, I think. The german bunker is now inside the museum.

My relative landed on Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. I’ve been trying to find his time and wave he was in but to no avail. He was in the 12th infantry regiment in the HQ Co 3rd Bn. He was KIA on June 22, 1944 the same day that Col. Thaddeus Dulin was KIA at Bois du Coudray. I’m unsure that if that Dulin was commander. Thanks, K.

Nice work, appreciated. Helpful for an insight in deciding places to detect ( subject to permission) as well. 👍

You are supposed to have permission to detect but many people do it. I've never heard of anybody being prosecuted. Farmers, or anyone else, don't appreciate trespassing.

@@WalkingDday Hi, thanks for reply. I think you misunderstood me. I have been going round Normandy for last 10 years...... I meant nice to get new inspiration and hints via your uploads. Looking forward to the Maisy camp upload. I know the owner/son quite well so have seen this as it has been unearthed. Are you aware of the latest discovery here? The book 'Cover up at P du H' is his work and very interesting. I agree, with your comments ref. detecting. All I can say is I love the French farmers. Always helpful and courteous with permission, despite my poor French. Kind regards, John

Thank you, I really enjoyed you're video and found it amazing that the sand dunes had moved so far which means the geography of the dunes is now completely different from June the 1944? I hope to visit Utah beach next summer with a little of luck. Would you have the names of the 12 soldiers who were killed in the first wave or maybe an idea of where I could find this information out please ? many thanks
